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, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy, 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 subsection, the Secretary shall ensure cultural competency and efficacy within high-need communities in which PrEP or PEP are 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 and PEP, the recommended clinical practices for providing PrEP-related and PEP-related clinical care, and the local availability of PrEP and PEP providers, and to counter stigma associated with the use of PrEP and PEP. The Secretary shall develop measures to evaluate the effectiveness of activities conducted under this subsection that are aimed at reducing disparities in access to PrEP and PEP 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. The Secretary, acting through the Director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Administrator of the Health Resources and Services Administration, and the Office of Infectious Disease and HIV/AIDS Policy, shall establish a provider campaign for the purpose of educating prescribers and other associated health professionals on medication for the prevention of HIV acquisition.
In carrying out this subsection, the Secretary shall increase awareness and readiness among health care providers to offer PrEP or PEP, as appropriate, with a focus on areas of high-need communities in which PrEP or PEP is underutilized by developing an educational campaign with input from health care providers and 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 and PEP, the recommended clinical practices for providing PrEP-related and PEP-related clinical care, cultural competency among PrEP and PEP prescribers, and to counter stigma associated with the use of PrEP and PEP. The Secretary shall develop measures to evaluate the effectiveness of activities conducted under this subsection that are aimed at increasing the number of health care professionals offering PrEP and PEP and reducing disparities in access to PrEP and PEP.
Such measures shall evaluate availability of PrEP and PEP services, education and outreach activities, language services, workforce cultural competence, and other areas as determined by the Secretary. In this section and section 399V–9— the term PEP means any drug or combination of drugs approved by the Food and Drug Administration for preventing HIV transmission after a sexual or other exposure associated with a high risk of HIV transmission; and the term PrEP means any drug approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the purpose of pre-exposure prophylaxis with respect to HIV.
To carry out this section, there are authorized to be appropriated such sums as may be necessary for each of fiscal years 2024 through 2029. .
