If this passes
HIV/AIDS care, testing, mental health services, and prescription help continue for residents who need it through 2027. County health clinics keep offering these services.
If this does not pass
Many residents would lose access to HIV treatment and support services. This could lead to health problems and higher costs for emergency care later.
