Klobuchar has not yet completed a survey about HIV policy issued by AIDS United
2020 Presidential Candidate HIV Questionnaire

Klobuchar supports increasing competition and regulation of pharmaceutical companies in order to improve the availability of affordable HIV medications.
Klobuchar supported increased funding for Housing Opportunities for Persons with HIV/AIDS as Senator for Minnesota.
Klobuchar pledges that within the first 100 days of her presidency, she will allow for the safe importation of prescription drugs from other countries to decrease drug costs and would crack down on drug companies that pay makers of generic drugs to delay cheaper versions from getting into the market.
My solutions are these: first of all, make sure that [the] HIV community can get the drugs that they need, and that means the PrEP drug, and that means a whole bunch of other things to take on pharmaceutical companies to make drugs more affordable, including PrEP. The second thing is to make sure we keep in place the protections of the Affordable Care Act so we don’t kick people off their insurance for pre-existing conditions… The third thing that I would do is look to general social issues like homelessness, and things we need to do a much better job of… And finally, it’s the stigma issue.”
