On 4/21, SCOTUS will hear Kennedy v. Braidwood. Should SCOTUS rule against the govt, insurers may no longer be required to cover preventive care in full.
Hear from Lambda Legal's Jose Abrigo on the importance of preventive care.

National Youth HIV & AIDS Awareness Day matters more than ever as the government cuts funding for HIV services, meaning more barriers to staying safe, healthy, & informed.
#NYHAAD is a call to action & a chance to remind the world: young people, especially LGBTQ+ youth, are not disposable.
HV Prevention is life saving and the Braidwood case threatens to take no cost preventative care away from PrEP to cancer screenings. @lambdalegal.org is leading the fight to preserve our care. #hivprevention #prep #aca

Dark blue background with white text that reads: “Today’s reckless cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Division of HIV Prevention – and to the Department of Health and Human Services at large – are devastating to our decades of progress in the fight to end the HIV epidemic. We stand behind the organizations across the country on the frontlines that support everyone living with and impacted by HIV with vital services for testing, prevention, and treatment. Without the foundation of a robust federal response, countless lives will be lost.”

But let’s be clear:
🔴 The Trump admin is actively threatening HIV funding and access to services.
🔴 The CDC used to provide NNHAAD info—until this admin erased it.
We won’t let decades of progress be undone.
Act now to save the CDC's Division of HIV Prevention! aidsunited.org/action/polic...

I urge you to publicly oppose this decision and demand the administration uphold its commitment to ending the HIV epidemic. Thank you. If needed, you can reach me at BLANK.
The CDC’s Division of HIV Prevention is under attack! 🚨
The Trump admin plans to eliminate funding for HIV Prevention, as quickly as within the next 24 hours.
