Free PrEP in Alaska

Alaska has no PrEP DAP, but Medicaid expansion covers PrEP at $0 (with higher FPL thresholds due to cost-of-living). The Alaskan AIDS Assistance Association (Four A's) launched a same-day PrEP program in 2023. A 24-case HIV cluster in the Interior region (2022-2023) prompted increased statewide awareness.
