PrEP For Minors
Status: Victory
VICTORY: In July 2022, An Act Relative to HIV Prevention Services, was passed as an amendment to the state budget. Sexually active minors (those under 18) in the Commonwealth can now access HIV-prevention medication (PrEP) from a healthcare provider or health clinic without needing the consent of a parent or legal guardian. This law will support the health and well-being of young people in Massachusetts by ensuring they have access to our most potent tool to prevent HIV transmission.
