funding will support efforts to (1) increase health center capacity to 
engage patients in HIV prevention and linkage to care services using 
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.
