## Summary

**Elevates HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to a core life-saving humanitarian assistance priority.** The bill would amend Section 104A(d) of the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 to explicitly authorize U.S. assistance to provide PrEP medications and to treat certain prevention and risk-reduction activities as core life-saving assistance. - People at risk of HIV overseas would see PrEP listed as an explicit eligible item for U.S. HIV prevention funding, potentially expanding access through U.S.-funded programs. - U.S. foreign assistance programs and implementing partners would have PrEP and related prevention efforts treated as core life-saving activities, which can shift programming priorities and funding use. - Global health planning would be tied to World Health Organization scientific analyses by directing beneficiary definitions to include WHO-designated at-risk populations, focusing prevention where WHO evidence indicates need.
