15.951             Education about Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV

The Medical Society of the State of New York will continue its efforts to work with state agencies to educate physicians about the effective use of pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV and the US PrEP Clinical Practice Guidelines.  MSSNY will continue its advocacy work to require that all insurers cover the costs associated with the administration of PrEP and work with governmental officials to study the feasibility of providing PrEP free of charge to high risk individuals.

A copy of this resolution will be transmitted to the AMA for consideration at the 2016 House of Delegates.  (HOD 2016-159)
