AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill changes the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961, which governs U.S. aid to other countries to fight HIV/AIDS. It would label HIV prevention activities funded under that law as "core life-saving humanitarian assistance." It would add aid to provide HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications to the list of activities the aid covers. It would also state that prevention efforts for specific populations include at-risk groups identified through a science-based analysis by the World Health Organization.
