Trump administration unveils program to provide HIV prevention drugs for uninsured

The Trump administration unveiled a new program to provide HIV prevention medication to people without prescription drug coverage as a part of the president's ambitious effort to eradicate the virus in America by 2030.

"Ready, Set, PrEP is a historic expansion of access to HIV prevention medication and a major step forward in President Trump’s plan to end the HIV epidemic in America," U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar said in a statement Tuesday.

President Donald Trump pledged to eliminate HIV transmission within 10 years during his State of the Union address earlier this year, noting that science had"brought a once-distant dream within reach."

Free health care? What is this a socialist country? Let the sick pay for health care like the rest of us & let the drug companies charge as the market allows. The USA needs to deregulate the drug industry. Their CEO’s are not making a fair salary for making life-saving drugs.

Is this even true

Great work for those who need it ?

Whats the catch,...? using people as lab rats to test new drugs,..

Surprised this is getting press...

impeach.

Yeah its funny to me that when i had my hiv scare they denied me..without even checking...

Now do drugs for cancer, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, prenatal care, allergies, heart disease, mental illness, ADHD, ulcers, migraines, anti-rejection, kidney disease, high blood pressure...

Anyone who finds a negative in this needs to take a long hard look in the mirror.

Cheap and phony junk. Trump and Putin own big fake medicine companies. That is why he wants to do away with health insurance and the big pharma companies.

Awesome. I hope they don’t retract it.

That's great

That could be a great thing. But will the Trump administration actually come through on this promise or just another lie

While they're still alive?

Great News

Trump has cut funding for AIDS research. Try to keep up.

Trump administration announces free HIV-prevention medication for uninsured AmericansPre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is the lone prevention treatment for people susceptible to HIV infection, but it's notoriously expensive in the United States. Um, what's the catch? Because this administration is all about hurting people at every oppurtunity. I doubt this will happen. All they want to do is destroy the country before he's out of office. FACT. It takes impending impeachment to goad Trump into doing anything decent. How the WH must struggle to recognize what decency even is. Free?
