Authorizes pharmacists to dispense HIV pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis.
New York S07435 amends the education law to authorize licensed pharmacists to dispense HIV pre-exposure and post-exposure prophylaxis. A licensed physician or certified nurse practitioner can prescribe these medications to pharmacists. Pharmacists must ensure patients meet certain conditions, such as being HIV negative and not reporting symptoms of acute HIV infection. They must also provide patients with educational materials and information about healthcare providers. The bill sets limits on the supply of medication and requires compliance with public health laws.
