A 6293 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Permits pharmacists to provide HIV prophylaxis without individual prescription under certain conditions; requires prescription benefits coverage.

This bill allows pharmacists to provide HIV prevention drugs (both PrEP for ongoing protection and PEP for emergency use after potential exposure) without a specific doctor's prescription under certain conditions. It directly affects patients seeking HIV prevention, pharmacists who will administer these services, and health insurance companies. Pharmacists must complete required training, verify patients have a recent negative HIV test (within 7 days), check for medication conflicts, and provide up to 90 days of medication. The bill also requires health insurance plans to cover these HIV prevention drugs under prescription benefits.
