Free PrEP in El Paso

El Paso sits on the U.S.-Mexico border with a predominantly Hispanic/Latino population and a significant undocumented community. Texas has not expanded Medicaid, creating a massive coverage gap — but Gilead Advancing Access has no immigration status requirement, and MISTR is free in Texas with no documentation needed. El Paso's border location makes bilingual, culturally competent PrEP access essential. Centro de Salud Familiar La Fe is a critical FQHC serving the community.
