HIV Healthcare Access

HIV healthcare access remains a critical public health issue for LGBTQ Americans and communities across the United States.

Access to affordable health insurance, HIV testing, PrEP, antiretroviral therapy (ART), mental health services, and qualified healthcare providers plays a vital role in improving health outcomes and reducing new HIV transmissions.

Policy changes affecting the Affordable Care Act, Medicaid, Medicare, and federal healthcare funding can directly influence access to these lifesaving services.
