## Summary

**Protects and expands access to HIV prevention by banning insurance discrimination for people who take PrEP or PEP and by funding education, grants, and stronger privacy rules.** This bill pairs nondiscrimination rules with outreach, a grant program, and data and enforcement steps to boost use of PrEP and PEP in high‑need communities. - People at risk and uninsured: Establishes an HHS grant program for states, territories, tribes, and community providers to cover FDA‑approved PrEP/PEP drugs, labs, clinical follow‑up, outreach, and adherence support. Grants prioritize areas with large uninsured or underinsured populations and are authorized for fiscal years 2026 through 2030. - Families and policyholders: Makes it unlawful for life, disability, and long‑term care insurers to deny, limit, or raise rates because someone uses PrEP or PEP. It also directs HHS to change HIPAA rules so family plan members can use PrEP/PEP without other enrollees or the policyholder being notified. - Providers and public health system: Directs HHS, through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), to run public and provider education campaigns focused on high‑need communities and to evaluate effectiveness. Insurers must begin submitting compliance and claims data one year after enactment and federal agencies will report noncompliance to Congress every two years for ten years.
