ABOUT THE SUMMIT The third annual Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit, held in Los Angeles, California, Dec.
3-4, 2018, demonstrated how crucial biomedical prevention has become in the fight against HIV. What was once a small meeting attended by a few hundred people has now become the largest biomedical HIV prevention conference in the country. This year’s attendance reached nearly 1,300, more than double the figure of the first Summit in 2016. This massive growth shows how hungry the HIV community is for the latest information on PrEP, PeP, and TasP. For the moment, we can only see continued growth for the Summit in years to come.
Format The Summit offered more than 40 workshops covering a variety of topics related to biomedical prevention and its use by communities at risk. In addition, four plenaries for the entire conference explored major issues in greater detail. The popular “Community Corner” returned for a second year with two locations due to increased interest. These 15-minute presentations scheduled in-between workshop sessions provided additional opportunities for education on a variety of biomedical prevention topics.

PLENARIES There were four plenaries held during the Summit. The Summit’s Opening Plenary, “#MeToo Movement and the Intersection with Trauma-Informed HIV Prevention,” tackled the difficult topic of sexual assault and HIV. After opening remarks by Tarana Burke, founder of the #MeToo Movement, speakers told their personal stories of survival and trauma. “The Community’s Plan for Ending the Epidemic” focused on the latest science and technology in biomedical HIV prevention and how these advances can be incorporated into health systems, communities, and the overall plan to end the HIV epidemic. “U=U and People of Color: The Road to Viral Suppression” focused on the message of “undetectable=untransmittable” and the risks and benefits of that message when it comes to HIV criminalization and a health care system that is non-responsive to disadvantaged people of color. The closing plenary, “Closing the Racial and Gender Inequity Gap in ARV-Based Prevention,” explored why PrEP use continues to increase among gay white men but not among those communities that need it the most: Black and Latino gay men, Transgender and Gender NonConforming individuals, and Women.

Quotes & Affirmations
Thank you so much! I had such an amazing experience at this year’s HIV Biomedical Prevention Summit! I learned so many cool ways other ASOs and health departments are implementing PrEP into their communities. I’ve also networked with many colleagues across the nation because of this summit. Also, that hotel was so beautiful! Hope you all have a wonderful and blessed Holidays!!!
Unlike usual medical conferences, conferences on HIV are far more creative and entertaining. - Mary Ann Rodriguez-Tuck
We are so proud of our members who bravely shared their stories of being #survivors—and what we need to do to change the systems that force us to survive rather than thrive. @pwn_nyc_chapter – Positive Womens Network - USA
Listening to Tarana Burke talk about trauma, healing, and living with HIV. A significant truth about ending the epidemic is by talking about. That’s where it begins. Then knowing your status thru testing. “We come to the work because we are the work. “She took a redeye to get here to speak for a few minutes. This movement in our community is alive and on the move. Stigma is real and confronts each of us every day. How will you help to stop this epidemic? Who will you share this information? I’m here to help you help us be whole and healthy. - Helen Holton
The founder of the #MeToo movement, Tarana Burke is giving us life this morning at the opening plenary here at the Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit. Tarana
spoke to our spirits, “I love movement people. Once you dedicate your life and you turn yourself over to a thing that people just don’t get. How we eat, sleep and drink this thing.” – Southern AIDS Coalition
Thank you @n.m.a.c and all of the amazing speakers and presenters and panelists for an amazing summit! We’re ready to take all the information home with us. #2018bhps – Prep Delco
