The Senate Resolution recognizes June 26, 2023, as National HIV Testing Awareness Day and expresses support for the federal government's initiative to end the HIV epidemic in Louisiana. Launched in 2019, the "Ending the HIV Epidemic" initiative aims to reduce new HIV infections by 90% by 2030 through four key pillars: diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and response. The resolution highlights the barriers to health literacy and access to reliable testing and treatment resources, which contribute to disparities in health outcomes, particularly among vulnerable populations such as African Americans and Hispanics.

Furthermore, the resolution emphasizes the importance of increasing awareness and access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) medications, which have proven effective in preventing HIV transmission. It calls for healthcare providers to be educated on the value of PrEP and for states to prioritize access to these prevention therapies, especially for underinsured and uninsured populations. The resolution encourages state policymakers to implement supportive policies that improve health outcomes, reduce health disparities, and promote open access to HIV-related healthcare services and treatments.
