Medicaid expansion boosted PrEP access, but racial gaps remain, risking progress amid funding cuts.
Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act has increased access to PrEP, an HIV prevention drug, particularly among high-risk groups in participating states, a Rutgers-led study found.
While overall PrEP prescribing rose, especially among white, male, and younger adults, significant racial disparities persist, with far fewer Black and Hispanic/Latino Americans receiving the medication.
The study warns that recent Medicaid changes, including reduced federal funding and stricter eligibility rules, could undermine progress in HIV prevention, highlighting the need for targeted efforts to address ongoing inequities.
