SENATE PASSES BILL EXPANDING ACCESS TO HIV PREVENTION DRUG

Today, the Massachusetts Senate unanimously passed An Act enabling pharmacists
to prescribe, dispense and administer PrEP, a bipartisan bill that would allow Massachusetts pharmacists
to prescribe PrEP—pre-exposure prophylaxis—a life-saving medication that is nearly 100 per cent effective in stopping the transmission of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV).
