U.S. Sens. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) and Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) have introduced a bill to let Ryan White clinics use income from being in the HIV/AIDS program to provide pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, a daily medication used to prevent people at high risk of HIV/AIDS from contracting the virus. A big part of most clinics’ program income comes from billing for 340B-purchased drugs.
Ryan White HIV/AIDS Program (RWHAP) legislation, originally enacted in 1990, lets clinics use program income only for services provided to HIV-positive patients, which excludes people taking PrEP for HIV prevention.
