Developments in the HIV and STIs Biomedical Prevention Pipeline: An update for community educators and advocates
This interactive e-meeting for community educators and advocates will provide an update on the latest developments in biomedical HIV and STIs prevention research and implementation, new approaches and future challenges. This will also be an opportunity to explore how these can be translated into accessible, community-informed interventions. A special focus will be placed on the inclusion of trans communities in research and service delivery underscoring the need for equitable access and meaningful participation in biomedical innovation.
Amidst increasingly complex political and funding environments, participants will have the opportunity to exchange knowledge, examine uptake and access challenges, and discuss advocacy strategies to counteract policy limitations and resource constraints at the local, regional, and global levels.
Live interpretation in English and Russian will be provided.
