× The federal government has shut down due to the failures of the President and Congress to continue government funding. Millions of Californians receiving benefits from state programs may be impacted. For now, California’s Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) will continue to provide services and enroll eligible families as long as funding is available. No new federal funding to California WIC will be provided until the President and Congress take action. Families should continue to use their WIC benefits and attend their WIC appointments. This information is subject to change, so please monitor the California WIC website for updates.

Please be wary of potential highly partisan political messaging while visiting federal government websites for information related to the federal government shutdown.

​​Information for Organizations & Professionals

What is PrEP and PEP?

Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is medication an individual can take to prevent the acquisition of Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV). Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) is medication an individual can take within 72 hours after a potential exposure to HIV to prevent the acquisition of HIV.

PrEP-AP Mission & Vision

The mission of PrEP-AP is to ensure that all at-risk, eligible Californians have access to medical care and services to prevent new HIV infections. We envision leading the U.S. in ending the HIV epidemic. Working in concert with other entities, we will empower individuals to protect themselves from HIV and create a California free from stigma, shame, and fear related to HIV.
