ABOUT THE SUMMIT
OPENING PLENARY
About the Summit
Opening Plenary - The Role of Biomedical Prevention in Ending the HIV Epidemic NMAC leads with race to urgently fight for health equity and racial justice to end the HIV epidemic in America. The Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit is the only major regular conference focused on the prevention of HIV through biomedical means, including PrEP, PEP, and TasP. This year was the sixth Summit. The 2022 Summit was the first NMAC conference to be held in person since before the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. More than 1,200 people attended.
This plenary discussed the specifics of well-planned PrEP/TasP initiatives and the indicators to show a relevant and sustainable impact, and how this impact directly contributes to the steady decline and end of HIV infections in America.

PLENARIES & WORKSHOPS
PLENARIES Afternoon Plenary - Grinding Stigma in the Underground. Negotiating Sex in the Apps’ World
Closing Plenary - The PrEPpy Awards - The Best PrEP Education Programs and Campaigns in 2021
This plenary spoke about having an open discussion about stigma and how it plays out in the virtual space of social/sexual apps like Grindr, Scruff, Adam4Adam, BarebackRT, and Jack’d. Grinding stigma is fundamental for a healthy self-worth system and HIV-free humans.
The PrEPpy Awards highlights the best PrEP/TasP program in 2021. We had more than 3 dozen entries for the first PrEPpy Awards that were nominated by the community.

Morning Plenary - Can Fantasies Become Realities? The Quest for Multi-purpose Prevention Products Multipurpose prevention technologies, or MPTs, are designed to simultaneously prevent HIV, other STIs, and/or unintended pregnancy. Internal and external condoms are the only MPTs currently available and, while effective, they are less than desirable for many sexually active humans on the planet. However, humans need and deserve a suite of options, and the more types of protection an option provides, the more likely it will be used. Expert presenters shared updates and perspectives about the MPT research pipeline, focusing on the products closest to actual roll-out and implementation.
They were all judged by a panel on several categories and 4 incredible finalists were selected to speak for 5 minutes. Each finalist showcased their campaign’s uniqueness and strategies. Additionally attendees learned about program development and the best biomedical HIV prevention education approaches. The audience then voted for their favorite to crown the first PrEPpy Winner.

So many great breakout sessions. I should have brought more staff to cover them all. The learning level was not basic learning, we all came in having the basic knowledge so we were able to learn about more niche topics. I appreciated the focus on diverse populations.
I loved the diversity among the presenters and attendees and that there was no subject too taboo to discuss.

The networking was the best part. I gained a lot of knowledge about what other organizations are doing and created relationships to build more cohesive networks for the people I serve.
The diversity of the people attending. The love and acceptance was so refreshing.
