cis- and transgender women, and adolescents: a federally<br />
qualified health center closely linked to a large city HD<br />
(Howard Brown Health, Chicago); a municipal STI clinic<br />
(Fulton County, GA); a reproductive health clinic (HIVE,<br />
San Francisco); and a community-based AIDS Service<br />
Organization (Philadelphia Fight). A moderated panel and<br />
interactive breakout session will encourage participants to<br />
draw cross-cutting lessons from these programs’ successes<br />
and ongoing challenges.<br />

State and Local Best Practices: Innovative Policies<br />
and Practices<br />
This session will take a case study approach to examine<br />
major elements of the PrEP landscape at the state and<br />
local levels. Panelists from diverse geographic regions and<br />
policy climates will provide a brief snapshot of their own<br />
best practices, challenges, and opportunities that exist in<br />
the context of PrEP access. Following the presentations,<br />
workshop participants will work in facilitated small groups to<br />
discuss their own state, local, and regional policy challenges<br />
to provide universal PrEP access and identify best practices,<br />
opportunities, and innovative group solutions. The workshop<br />
will serve as a chance to work collaboratively with others<br />
across the country to formulate ideas that are key to<br />
building an effective policy response and build supportive<br />
structures for getting PrEP to all vulnerable populations.<br />

Here and Now: The State of PrEP Access<br />
and Uptake in Distinct Populations<br />
This workshop panel and moderated discussion will focus<br />
on distinct populations, not typically covered in the PrEP<br />
conversation or mentioned in PrEP guidelines. Join our<br />
panel discussion for a richer story that is emerging from<br />
distinct populations around HIV prevention, including PrEP:<br />
API transwomen, Native Americans, people who access<br />
abortions or family planning, people who desire conception/<br />
safer conception, people who are substance involved, API<br />
MSM, and people who exchange sex for survival. From a<br />
strengths based perspective, invited panel participants will<br />
present background information (5-6 minutes each) on<br />
facilitators and barriers for reaching distinct populations, i.e.<br />
those currently left out of the mainstream PrEP dialogue,<br />
who may benefit from an expanded HIV prevention toolkit.<br />
The use of storytelling as a method for overcoming stigma<br />
and including people from distinct backgrounds will be<br />
described. The moderated panel discussion will include<br />
the lived experience of audience members as participants,<br />
providing a highly interactive and engaging format.<br />
Resources will be shared. The panel discussion will be<br />
summarized with best practices for moving forward with an<br />
inclusive PrEP implementation agenda.<br />

The State of PrEP Research and Utilization of PrEP<br />
Among Transgender Comunitites<br />
Although trans women are one of the populations most<br />
impacted by HIV globally, PrEP clinical trials have not<br />
meaningfully included trans women. Furthermore, drug-drug<br />
interactions between PrEP and feminizing hormones are<br />
relatively unknown. Even less is known about PrEP and trans<br />
men. As PrEP is launched nationally, care should be taken<br />
to ensure gender affirming clinical environments for trans<br />
populations. This workshop will provide an overview of the<br />
current research and literature on PrEP use among transgender<br />
communities from investigators at the Center of Excellence<br />
for Transgender Health at the University of California, San<br />
Francisco. A moderated panel will follow with trans consumers<br />
of PrEP and physicians who have prescribed PrEP for trans<br />
patients. Next steps and recommendations will be discussed.<br />

Case Studies in Training PrEP Navigators,<br />
Counselors, and other Frontline Workers<br />
Frontline workers are, in many respects, the unsung heroes<br />
of HIV prevention. How do we train these leaders to
