Period of Supplemental Funding: Initial funding is available for

evidence-based strategies; (2) expand availability and support for the
use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in health centers, including
supporting health centers with accessing PrEP donation programs; (3)
develop new and strengthened partnerships with key organizations to
educate primary care physicians and health center staff in providing
the full range of culturally competent and evidence-based HIV
prevention services, with a focus on PrEP; and (4) enhance health
center capacity to increase awareness of and reduce social stigma that
persists as a barrier to care for those living with, or who are at risk
for, HIV in the communities served.
