Welcome to the first National HIV PrEP Summit. The Summit, like its logo, is a collaboration between NMAC and community based organizations, health departments, researchers, treatment activists and federal agencies. We come together to talk implementation, how to bring the promise of biomedical HIV prevention to all communities highly impacted by HIV. Many believe/hope this science will lead to pathways that end the HIV epidemic in America. Thank you lead sponsor Gilead, as well as Levi Strauss Foundation, ViiV Healthcare, Texas Health Action, Hope Clinic and Wellness Center, Walgreens and Avita Drugs for their support of the 2016 Summit. Their willingness to take a risk on a new meeting is greatly appreciated. In fact, we want to thank everyone who decided to be part of this inaugural summit. This meeting would not be possible without the support of NMAC staff and a planning committee that curated all the workshops and plenaries. The conference is divided into 7 tracks: Research, Public Policy, Priority Populations, Training Programs, Educational Campaigns, Healthcare Providers and Program Implementation. Most of the workshops are interactive training sessions; however, some are designed to elicit conversations that will form a foundation for policy recommendations for the new administration. NMAC has hired the O’Neill Institute at Georgetown Law to put We come together to talk implementation; how to bring the promise of biomedical HIV prevention to all communities highly impacted by HIV. together a two-part report, Blueprint for Biomedical HIV Prevention. Part 1 will be released at the Summit’s opening plenary. It is an overview of the current state of biomedical HIV prevention programs in America. While not comprehensive, the report will look at case studies of health departments, and how they are working with community to implement the new science. Part 2 will be a series of policy recommendations for the new administration. Discussions about these issues will happen during the Summit. We encourage your input and feedback for this NMAC report. Part 2 is not a document from the Summit. NMAC will look for input and sign-on partners, but this document will prioritize for the new administration policy recommendations on biomedical HIV prevention that align with NMAC’s mission to lead with race to urgently fight for health equity and racial justice to end the HIV epidemic in America. This is the first Summit and it was pulled together in 10 months. Given that reality, please be kind and understand if we missed something important. The Summit is one of many important community discussions on how to effectively implement PrEP and biomedical HIV prevention. If we truly are closer to the end than the beginning, then our next steps will determine how long it will take. Will we work collaboratively to create solutions that work for all communities highly impacted by HIV or will we fall back into old habits that keep us separate? This is our test and the reason NMAC is so committed to PrEP and biomedical HIV prevention. Yours in the struggle, Paul Kawata
