Kentucky HIV/AIDS Advocacy & Action Group

The Kentucky HIV/AIDS Advocacy & Action Group (“KHAAG”) is deeply concerned with House Bill 350, which remains in the House Standing Committee on Health and Welfare. House Bill 350 would remove the requirements that podiatrists, physicians, acupuncturists, physician’s assistants, athletic trainers, chiropractors, dentists, dental hygienists, registered nurses, advanced registered nurse practitioners, licensed practical nurses, pharmacists, optometrists, physical therapists, laboratory personnel, and social workers complete HIV/AIDS education and training as a condition of licensure or practice in the Commonwealth.

KHAAG and Kentucky Equality Federation will continue to monitor House Bill 350 and take appropriate action(s) should the Committee pass the legislation to the House floor.
