United StatesHouse resolution would back National PrEP Day and wider HIV prevention access
The House resolution would back a National PrEP Day and encourages health and community groups to teach people about PrEP and help reduce barriers to getting it.
What it does
The House resolution would recognize that PrEP can prevent HIV and says more people across the United States need access to it.
The House would support naming October 10, 2026, National PrEP Day, and encourages health and community groups to teach people about PrEP, reduce barriers, and support its use.
Argument forPublic education and efforts to reduce barriers could help more people at risk of HIV learn about and get PrEP.
Argument againstBecause the resolution only encourages groups to act, people seeking PrEP may still face barriers if those groups do not follow through.
More detail
The House recognizes PrEP's role in preventing HIV and the need to expand access. PrEP is medicine taken before possible exposure to HIV to lower the chance of getting it.
The House supports naming October 10, 2026, National PrEP Day, and encourages health and community groups to promote PrEP and help people get and keep using it. The encouragement is directed to public health agencies, health care providers, insurers, community groups, and other stakeholders. The resolution encourages these groups; it does not require them to take these steps. The proposed National PrEP Day is October 10, 2026.
