                                 A BILL


 
     To increase access to pre-exposure prophylaxis to reduce the 
                          transmission of HIV.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``PrEP Access and Coverage Act''.

SEC. 2. FINDINGS.

    Congress finds as follows:
            (1) The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention 
        estimates that approximately 1,100,000 people in the United 
        States are living with HIV.
            (2) In 2017, there were 38,281 new diagnoses of HIV in the 
        United States.
            (3) HIV disproportionately impacts gay and bisexual men, 
        transgender women, and, in particular, people of color. For 
        example, in 2017 approximately 66 percent of new HIV diagnoses 
        were among gay and bisexual men, 43 percent of new HIV 
        diagnoses were among Black people, and 26 percent of new HIV 
        diagnoses were among Latinx people. Recent studies suggest that 
        transgender women are up to 49 times more likely to be 
        diagnosed with HIV than the general population. Members of 
        communities at the intersections of these groups are most 
        heavily impacted.
            (4) Pre-exposure prophylaxis (referred to in this section 
        as ``PrEP'') is a daily antiretroviral medication that helps 
        prevent individuals from acquiring HIV. Daily PrEP use reduces 
        the risk of getting HIV from sex by over 90 percent. It reduces 
        the risk of getting HIV from injection drug use by over 70 
        percent.
            (5) Many individuals at risk of exposure to HIV do not use 
        PrEP. Of the approximately 1,100,000 people in the United 
        States who could benefit from PrEP, only 7 percent, or 78,360 
        individuals, filled prescriptions for the drug in 2016.
            (6) PrEP usage is inconsistent across racial and gender 
        lines. In 2016, PrEP users were 68.7 percent White, 11.2 
        percent Black, and 13.1 percent Latinx. However, individuals 
        eligible for PrEP were 26.3 percent White, 43.7 percent Black, 
        and 24.7 percent Latinx. Additionally, only 2.1 percent of 
        women eligible for PrEP received a prescription in 2016.
            (7) There is currently only one version of PrEP approved by 
        the Food and Drug Administration, marketed under the brand name 
        of Truvada, which, in 2018, had a list price of over $20,000 a 
        year in the United States. A less expensive, generic version of 
        PrEP is expected to be available in September 2020, and other 
        types of HIV prevention treatments, including oral pills, 
        vaginal rings, and long-acting injectables, are currently in 
        the research pipeline.
            (8) Section 2713 of the Public Health Service Act (42 
        U.S.C. 300gg-13) requires most private health insurance plans 
        to cover preventive services without cost sharing, including 
        such services with a rating of ``A'' or ``B'' under 
        recommendations of the United States Preventive Services Task 
        Force. On June 11, 2019, the United States Preventive Services 
        Task Force issued a final recommendation giving an ``A'' grade 
        for PrEP for individuals at high risk of HIV; non-grandfathered 
        private health insurance plans will have to cover PrEP for such 
        individuals without cost sharing by 2021.
            (9) Despite such recommendation of the United States 
        Preventive Services Task Force, access barriers to PrEP remain. 
        Ancillary services necessary to maintain the PrEP regime, 
        including subsequent provider visits, clinical testing, and 
        other services, can remain a cost-burden on patients. 
        Additionally, the new recommendations are not linked to 
        coverage requirements for individuals with other types of 
        insurance, such as Medicare or Medicaid.
            (10) Expanding access to cost-free PrEP and ancillary 
        services for all individuals, including individuals who do not 
        have health insurance, is a critical step towards eliminating 
        HIV transmission.
