6 doubling down on the racial health disparities also laid bare
7 across the opioid epidemic, maternal and infant mortality
8 rates, COVID-19 mortality and morbidity rates, and the rising
9 rates of sexually transmitted infections (chlamydia,
10 gonorrhea, and syphilis).
11 According to the Centers for Disease Control and
12 Prevention (CDC), HIV transmission can be virtually eliminated
13 when linkage to HIV medications and medical care are widely
14 accessible. Treatment and prevention strategies such as
15 Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and
16 Undetectable=Untransmittable (U=U) are time-tested,

19 involves sexually active HIV-negative adults and adolescents
20 taking prescription medications to prevent HIV acquisition.
21 PrEP is 99% effective in preventing HIV when taken as
22 prescribed. U=U acknowledges the proven science that people

24 chance of transmitting the virus sexually. However, access to
