SUMMARY:Unlocking the Potential of Long-Acting Injectable Therapies for HIV Prevention and Treatment
DESCRIPTION:In this transformative session\, we will delve into the powerful potential of long-acting injectable (LAI) strategies to not only prevent and treat HIV but to foster deeper\, more meaningful healthcare engagement. With a focus on the tangible and intangible benefits of LAI therapy\, this session will equip healthcare providers with practical insights and tools to optimize patient care and health outcomes. \nParticipants will explore the multidimensional benefits of LAI therapy\, highlighting how regular clinic visits can strengthen patient-provider relationships\, enhance overall well-being\, and create opportunities for broader health interventions. Through case studies and real-world examples\, attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how these interactions can build trust\, support adherence\, and empower patients in their healthcare journeys. \nThe session will also emphasize the importance of in-depth provider-patient conversations\, helping attendees recognize the critical role of tailored discussions in guiding patients through prevention and treatment choices. You’ll learn how to differentiate between options\, identify the ‘sweet spot’ for optimized care\, and leverage these regular interactions to improve health equity and access. \nFinally\, participants will learn best practices (or clinical pearls) around how to successfully implement LAIs and gain awareness on the important areas for consideration when implementing LAIs in their own practice. Drawing on lessons from healthcare providers\, community leaders\, and implementation experts\, this segment will provide a roadmap for integrating LAI therapy into care plans—ensuring a holistic approach to patient health and well-being.  \nWhether you’re a healthcare provider\, advocate\, or clinic administrator\, this session will expand your understanding of LAI PrEP and treatment as a cornerstone of modern prevention and treatment efforts. Join us to discover how this innovative approach can transform lives and redefine the future of HIV.

SUMMARY:Too Big To Fail: What's Next for the Federal Drug Pricing Program?
DESCRIPTION:This session features the ADAP Advocacy Association’s 340B Patient Advisory Committee convening its first meeting of the year\, featuring Dr. Rory Martin of IQVIA sharing his perspectives on the 340B Drug Pricing Program. The 340B Program has increasingly been targeted for reform by lawmakers at the federal and state levels\, and by the Trump Administration’s push to move the program to a rebate payment model. The 340B Patient Advisory Committee will convene its next meeting during SYNC to discuss ongoing executive orders\, administrative rules\, legislation\, and pending litigation in numerous federal district courts and appellate courts.

SUMMARY:From Interest to Implementation: Building Sustainable LAI HIV Treatment & PrEP Programs
DESCRIPTION:As interest in long‑acting injectable (LAI) HIV treatment and PrEP continues to grow\, many healthcare sites face real‑world challenges translating enthusiasm into sustainable programs. This peer‑to‑peer panel focuses on the practical “how” of LAI implementation\, featuring external experts with hands‑on experience navigating operational workflows\, site‑level decision‑making\, and reimbursement considerations across medical benefit (buy‑and‑bill) and pharmacy benefit models. The discussion will also include an internal ViiV representative\, the Head of Global Implementation Sciences\, who will highlight the critical role nurses\, pharmacists\, and other advanced practice providers play as part of the interdisciplinary care team in successfully designing\, operationalizing\, and sustaining LAI programs. Through real‑world examples and lessons learned\, attendees will gain insight into how LAI program design varies by site infrastructure\, payer mix\, and patient population—and how to identify implementation pathways that best fit their own settings.
