A Reimagined Summit for the Public Health Workforce
The 10th Biomedical HIV Prevention Summit (BHPS) hosted by NMAC will be held in Chicago, from April 8-10, 2026.
The Summit was launched by NMAC in 2016 to advance PrEP access for communities most-impacted by HIV. We are the nation’s only convening dedicated to translating complex scientific discoveries and biomedical solutions into effective healthcare delivery for the HIV and public health workforce. This is the place where science meets action—translating cutting-edge research into real-world strategies for HIV prevention.
In its 10th year, the 2026 Summit is set to expand its focus by addressing HIV from a syndemic, whole-person perspective and is integrating the broader clinical and public health workforce (see audiences below). As we celebrate a decade of progress, we’re reimagining what’s possible. This is our moment to embrace a whole-person approach to prevention—because HIV does not exist in isolation, and neither should our solutions.
This year’s theme, “The Syndemic Approach—Strengthening the HIV and Public Health Workforce” centers the clinical, community, and broader public health workforce as key partners in the effort to improve overall health among HIV affected communities and communities with the poorest health outcomes.

The Summit’s Expanded Audiences
Sponsoring the Summit connects you with a diverse group of decision makers, and gives you a forum to share your organization’s message and expertise to the thousands of attendees that are expected to be in attendance.
Meet Your Expanded Audience: In 2025, the Summit convened nearly 1,200 leaders, advocates, and educators to share ideas and learn about new approaches to maximize the use of biomedical HIV prevention methods.
In 2026, NMAC aims to expand participation among direct-care providers and frontline clinicians in community-based and rural settings. The Summit will engage professionals and organizations in clinical or adjacent roles, including:
- HIV/STI Testers
- PrEP Navigators
- Linkage coordinators
- Prescribers (MDs, DOs, NPs, PAs)
- Nurses and Nurse Practitioners
- Pharmacists
- Dentists and Dental Hygienists
- Social Workers
- Community Health Workers
- Substance Use Counselors
- Mental Health Professionals
- Clinic Administrators and Triage Staff
Reach the Community: Additionally, your sponsorship allows the Summit to create innovative programming, and funds scholarships to people affected by HIV/AIDS. Make sure that you are present to have important conversations with leaders, decision makers, and front-line service providers!
2026 Summit Goals
- Elevate technical skills of the public health and clinical workforces to serve as front-line leaders in HIV prevention and integrated whole-person care.
- Expand engagement of clinical providers cadres who assess, counsel, treat, and refer patients for preventative care.
- Provide a recruitment pipeline to increase representation of members from the global majority and rural communities into the clinical and public health workforces.
- Reframe HIV prevention in ways that leverage systems thinking theory and align with syndemic strategies to improve health response systems.
- Focus Upstream by developing the public health and clinical workforces’ skills to identify, respond to, and deconstruct the political determinants fueling the HIV epidemic and broader health inequities.
