AIDS United is excited to announce that we will be joining advocates, organizers, and community leaders at this year’s U.S. Conference on HIV/AIDS (USCHA) in Washington D.C.! We are honored to contribute to the program with a variety of sessions, workshops, and opportunities to connect.
Our staff will be speaking at two institutes during the conference. These institutes will bring together leaders from across the field to share knowledge, strengthen networks, and advance the collective work to end the HIV epidemic.
In addition to our institutes, we are proud to share that three of our workshops have been accepted as part of the official conference agenda. These workshops will provide in-depth discussions and opportunities for engagement on key issues impacting our communities.

If you can’t be at the conference in person, you can still follow along! We’ll be posting live updates throughout USCHA on our social media channels, highlighting sessions, sharing photos, and bringing the conference experience to you wherever you are.
