Part P of title III of the Public Health Service Act ( 42 U.S.C. 280g et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following: The Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, shall establish a public health campaign for the purpose of educating the public on medication for the prevention of HIV acquisition. In carrying out this section, the Secretary shall ensure cultural competency and efficacy within high-need communities in which PrEP is underutilized by developing the campaign in collaboration with organizations that are indigenous to communities that are overrepresented in the domestic HIV epidemic, including communities of color and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer community.
The Secretary shall ensure that the campaign is designed to increase awareness of the safety and effectiveness of PrEP, the recommended clinical practices for providing PrEP-related clinical care, and the local availability of PrEP providers, and to counter stigma associated with the use of PrEP. The Secretary shall develop measures to evaluate the effectiveness of activities conducted under this section that are aimed at reducing disparities in access to PrEP and supporting the local community.
Such measures shall evaluate community outreach activities, language services, workforce cultural competence, and other areas as determined by the Secretary. In this section, the term PrEP means any drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the purpose of pre-exposure prophylaxis with respect to HIV. There are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2021 through 2026. .
