From Interest to Implementation: Building Sustainable LAI HIV Treatment & PrEP Programs

Studio A

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 Association of Insurance Type with Use of Emergency Care in New York

Studio B

In New York, avoidable emergency department (ED) visits—non-emergent care that could be managed in primary care—remain common, with an estimated 40% of ED visits classified as avoidable in 2024. These visits contribute to ED overcrowding, higher costs, workforce strain, and longer wait times that can worsen outcomes for time-sensitive conditions. Barriers to timely primary care, which vary by insurance type, may drive these patterns of avoidable ED use. In this study, we examined the association between insurance type and avoidable ED visits in New York, hypothesizing that such visits are more common among patients with public insurance or who are uninsured than among those with private coverage.

Bodies in Sync: Upstream Prevention and Community Healing to Address the Policing and Stigma of Adolescent Bodies in BIPOC Communities

Potomac B

Bodies in Sync positions upstream prevention as a vehicle for healing and liberation. By synchronizing science, community, and culture, the session demonstrates that prevention is not solely about risk reduction—it is about creating conditions for youth to thrive, belong, and lead the next generation of public health innovation.
