Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) signed HB 159 into law. The measure allows a pharmacist to screen an adult for HIV exposure and advise the adult to seek medical consultation from a physician and allows a certified pharmacist to order and dispense PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) drugs under a written collaborative practice agreement between the pharmacist and a licensed physician.
