The End the Epidemic program seeks to reduce the number of new HIV diagnoses by 55% to 1,515 and increase the number of individuals filling prescriptions for PrEP to 65,000.
End the Epidemic’s three-point plan includes:
PrEP is for people who do not have HIV. Individuals at risk for HIV infection take a daily pill that contains HIV antiretroviral medication to reduce their risk of becoming infected. Studies show significant reduction in HIV acquisition among HIV-negative persons who use PrEP and are offered a package of prevention, care, and support services.
