Massachusetts S1353 enables pharmacists to prescribe, dispense, and administer PrEP.

Massachusetts S1353 allows licensed pharmacists to prescribe, dispense, and administer HIV prevention drugs, including PrEP, to patients who meet certain criteria.

Patients must be HIV negative, show no signs of acute HIV infection, and not be taking contraindicated medications. Pharmacists can only provide a 60-day supply of PrEP once every two years. The Department of Public Health must establish statewide protocols within six months of the act's effective date.
