David Rosario, a restaurant owner from New Jersey, remembers the late 1980s with mixed emotions as he achieved his goal of becoming a professional dancer in New York City in a world where many young male friends lost their lives to AIDS, which hit the gay community especially hard. Today, Rosario picks up medication at his local Walmart pharmacy every month that makes HIV undetectable and untransmittable, an outcome that was unthinkable just a generation ago. Walmart has launched an HIV specialty-pharmacy pilot program in late 2021 and plans to expand it to more than 80 HIV-specialty facilities across nearly a dozen states by the end of this year. Pharmacists have undergone specialized training on HIV conditions and drugs to treat and prevent the virus, and the company has seen its outreach and the establishment of specialized pharmacy programs pay off. Walmart will offer free HIV testing on June 27 at select pharmacy locations.
