Ron DeSantis’ record as Florida governor provides some clues to how he would change the health care landscape if elected president.

The government has proposed that Medicare fully cover PrEP, a change that could help America catch up with nations in Europe and Africa that are on track to end new infections decades before the U.S.

While the City Commission's nonbinding resolution does not carry the weight of law, it “shows individuals here in Gainesville and across the state that not everyone thinks like the people in Tallahassee,” Commissioner Reina Saco says.

The program is funded through a grant from the National Institutes of Health and is part of a two-year intervention study aimed at reducing stigma for people who are HIV positive and for members of Vietnam’s gay and bisexual communities.

People have given $200,000 since January to fundraisers on GoFundMe started by trans people seeking to leave Florida, according to data from the platform.

The agency estimates dozens of U.S. counties are at risk for outbreaks. Duval County is at the top. Health officials say they are working to prevent the scale of infections that surprised the nation last summer.

Susan Forbes of OneBlood says donation centers are training workers over the next couple of months on the new FDA donation rules for gay and bisexual men.

While the number of people eligible to donate blood has expanded, the agency says it will continue to monitor the safety of the blood supply.

Plaintiffs are challenging a rule from the state Agency for Health Care Administration that prevents Medicaid reimbursements to health providers who render gender dysphoria care.

The plan launched in 2019 has generated ways to reach at-risk populations across the South. But health officials, advocates and people living with HIV worry significant headwinds will keep the program from reaching its goals.
