SUMMARY:PrEP\, PEP & Pleasure: Tools of Sexual Liberation
DESCRIPTION:This interactive presentation explores the intersection of sexual pleasure\, HIV prevention\, and liberation for communities of color. The Science of Sexuality and Pleasure\, it reframes PrEP and PEP not just as biomedical tools\, but as instruments of sexual agency\, protection\, and empowerment. Drawing on the imagery of chains\, whips\, handcuffs\, and doxycycline\, we assert that protection and pleasure are not mutually exclusive\, but deeply intertwined. Through storytelling\, case-based dialogue\, and visual metaphors\, we invite attendees to challenge conventional narratives that separate safety from desire. This session is rooted in affirming sex-positive\, stigma-free frameworks that normalize both protection and play\, while recognizing that the full spectrum of sexual expression\, particularly for people of color\, has been historically policed and pathologized. Our aim is to reimagine prevention as liberation\, pleasure as resistance\, and protection as power.

SUMMARY:Expanding the National HIV Prevention Workforce through Certification
DESCRIPTION:HIV Prevention Certified Provider Institute\nExpanding the HIV prevention workforce is more important than ever: biomedical prevention is advancing rapidly and the HIV workforce is shrinking. \nThis 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. Participants also will learn strategies for HIV prevention\, PrEP counseling\, and PrEP provision within pharmacy-based settings. Expert faculty include an infectious disease physician and pharmacist\, bringing together clinical knowledge and applied strategies for frontline HIV prevention. \nLearning Objectives: \n\nDiscuss sexual health and HIV prevention options with clients.\nReview biomedical advances in HIV and STI prevention.\nIdentify considerations for implementing long-acting HIV prevention in clinical settings.\nDescribe eligibility screening and PrEP counseling strategies in pharmacies.\nEducate patients on PrEP adherence\, safety precautions\, and the importance of regular monitoring for optimal HIV prevention
