The Trump administration has enacted restrictions within the PEPFAR program, specifically limiting access to PrEP for HIV prevention. While a limited waiver for certain humanitarian assistance has been issued, Secretary of State Marco Rubio's new guidelines explicitly exclude most individuals at risk of HIV, stating that PrEP is only available for pregnant and breastfeeding women. This policy change has already been linked to over 3,000 new HIV infections since a foreign aid freeze was initiated, highlighting the severe implications of these restrictions on public health, especially within LGBTQ+ communities.
The Trump administration's recent exclusion of most + individuals from receiving PrEP under PEPFAR marks a significant threat to HIV prevention efforts.
With over 3,000 new HIV infections linked to the administration's foreign aid freeze, the impact of these policies is proving deadly.
