Lenacapavir as PrEP is a transformative advancement in HIV prevention that requires organizations to adapt existing workflow, logistics, and reimbursement strategies to fully implement this new long-acting medication. Join expert faculty on Thursday, September 18, 2025 at 1:00pm Eastern for the webinar, "Operationalizing Lenacapavir for PrEP in Your Health System." You will gain actionable insights into how to prepare your organization for lenacapavir implementation, ensure sustainability in delivery, and empower your providers to stay at the forefront of HIV prevention.
Expert faculty will guide you through the essential considerations for integrating lenacapavir, including:
· Leadership buy-in and business planning
· Adapting existing long-acting PrEP delivery models, including workflow optimization, staffing, EHR programming, and day-to-day operational logistics
· Reimbursement strategies, such as buy-and-bill feasibility, 340B considerations, and insurance coverage
A live Q&A with the faculty will follow the webinar.

The Harm Reduction Futures Fund (HRFF) team at AIDS United are proud to announce in partnership with the Florida Harm Reduction Collective a three-part technical assistance webinar series on organizational development for community-based syringe service programs. This series is a part of our exciting new program focused on supporting syringe service programs with technical assistance tailored and led by the community. Through our new Harm Reduction Community Support Center (The Center), AIDS United will provide several TA opportunities with all topics guided by our community advisory board to address the real and current needs of syringe service programs.
The first webinar will take place on Wednesday, September 24th, 2025, from 12:00 PM ET to 1:30 PM with the following sessions in October and December. They will consist of a one-hour informative presentation with a 30-minute question and answer session after.
We will dive into and discuss organization development by exploring leadership, organizational structure, decision making models, and more. Participants will walk away with a better understanding of how to structure your organization to meet your values while prioritizing the success of the organization.
Thank you for your interest and we look forward to sharing information that is helpful to the valuable harm reduction work we all are doing.

Dear Colleagues,
We are excited to announce the release of Prepped to Serve: The Community Pharmacy’s HIV Prevention Toolkit!<https://rxeach.org/implementation-resources/>
This hands-on resource is designed to help pharmacists, pharmacy staff, health-serving organizations, and community leaders support the sustainable delivery of HIV prevention services, including PrEP, PEP, and HIV screening, in community pharmacies. Built for real-world implementation, the Toolkit offers clear, actionable strategies to help close persistent gaps in access in communities most affected by HIV.
What’s inside:
• Practical strategies for starting and improving services
• Easy-to-use checklists
• Real-world tools to support implementation and improvement
• Guidance for building partnerships and patient-centered, stigma free environments
This Toolkit reflects months of input from pharmacy and other clinical professionals, community health leaders, and PrEP users across the RxEACH network. It was shaped through feedback from experts and those with lived experience and a formal review by community and pharmacy leaders.
Access the Toolkit in English and Spanish: Implementation Resources – RxEACH Initiative<https://rxeach.org/implementation-resources/>
