Proposed GOP Healthcare Plan Will Harm Gay Men

http://time.com/money/4693379/healthcare-hiv-prep/

The bill that may replace the ACA will no longer fund money towards medication like PrEP, which is a preventive pill that greatly prevents HIV acquisition. Gay men especially depend on PrEP, so this proposed legislation will greater harm a demographic already at risk. Hopefully the ACA remains in tact...

    Hunter,

    This is really disappointing. Last semester, Karl Haushalter, a biochemist who conducts HIV came to the Athenaeum to speak about the amazing progress we've made in HIV and AIDs treatment. He spoke specifically about PrEP as a step in the right direction.
    Unfortunately, we of course have so much further to go, and if this bill passes it will be a huge step in the wrong direction.
