Expanding the HIV prevention workforce is more important than ever: biomedical prevention is advancing rapidly and the HIV workforce is shrinking.

This institute offers a comprehensive foundation for providers to: 1) identify individuals who may benefit from HIV prevention services; 2) implement high-impact PrEP interventions; and, 3) apply a framework of cultural humility to improve engagement and retention in care.

While disparities in PrEP uptake and need persist and PrEP demand remains high, experienced PrEP navigation staff are key to realizing the benefits of PrEP.

This institute equips participants with the practical knowledge, communication strategies, and clinical context needed to guide individuals through their PrEP journey.

People aging with HIV (PAWH) often face complex health challenges that unfold over time and across systems where care is inconsistent, support can be fragmented, and the realities of aging are too often ignored. By highlighting insights from the HealthHIV State of Aging with HIV™ Fourth Annual National Survey, this institute will examine how these experiences are shaped by underdeveloped geriatric expertise, persistent gaps in care coordination, and the lack of alignment between HIV services and aging-related systems.

This institute centers the voices and experiences of Black women while spotlighting HIV prevention and awareness, mental health and trauma healing, sexual self-care, maternal and reproductive health, and the power of resilience. We’ll explore actionable strategies, build supportive networks, and identify community-centered solutions that uplift and sustain wellness.
