The funds would expand a pilot program providing PrEP to those at risk of contracting HIV and to restore two positions dedicated to fighting HIV. GDPH Commissioner Kathleen Toomey requested the funds during a House Appropriations Health Subcommittee meeting on Feb. 16. The money would be part of the state budget for fiscal year 2022, which starts in July. The PrEP program got $57,350 for its first-year launch in Fulton and Towns Counties. Toomey requested $85,650 to fund the program’s second year – a 50 percent increase. The funding boost would expand the program to other counties, Toomey said.
