Overview: Poster Abstract

The Call for Poster Abstracts for the 2026 Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit (BHPS) has officially closed, and we are excited to share that 90 posters have been selected for presentation.

This year, BHPS is introducing an innovative and engaging format iPosters for the first time. An iPoster is a digital version of a traditional poster, displayed on large screens, allowing presenters to showcase their work through dynamic visuals, embedded charts, videos, and layered content. Unlike static posters, iPosters provide attendees the opportunity to explore presentations at their own pace and go through the content at their leisure.

The selected posters reflect the strength and diversity of our multidisciplinary workforce, highlighting research, case studies, and program innovations that break down silos and address the interconnected challenges of HIV prevention—including STIs, substance use, and mental health. These presentations offer practical insights, innovative data, and scalable solutions to strengthen both clinical and public health responses.

We invite you to join us at the Summit to explore these exciting iPoster presentations and experience this new, dynamic way of sharing knowledge.

Poster Abstract Evaluation Criteria

Significance: Significance indicates a study/abstract’s importance, impact, and findings. It is assessed based on the study’s scientific value, intriguing results, and the effect the results might have on future research and standard practices.
Relevance: The relevance grade indicates the significance of the abstract and research to the conference topics.
Originality: The originality score indicates how much the information, methods, or results discussed in the abstract are unique, novel, and innovative.
Credibility: Indicates the level of trust in the information included in the abstract and the research. The credibility of an abstract depends on the credibility and experience of the authors and institutes involved. Credibility is also affected by possible conflicts of interest between the authors and the subject, the trustworthiness of the provided references, and the methodology used.
Quality: Quality is a score that indicates the quality of writing, construction organization, and the resulting clarity of the abstract text.
Diversity and Demographics: A grade commonly used as a bonus score to promote diversity and increase the participation of underrepresented populations in the conference. For example, reviewers score abstracts by considering the gender of authors, age, geographical region, and type of institutes or research-related attributes.
Overall Assessments: This is a general assessment of the mentor’s impression of the abstract. It is an opportunity for the reviewer to reflect a subjective impression of the abstract’s contribution to the conference.
