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."
