This World Café will explore HIV prevention. Discussions will focus on access, trust, stigma, digital spaces, and intersecting barriers. Participants will also examine gaps in care, transitions between systems, and what it means for youth to thrive. The sessions will identify missing perspectives in research and priority areas for change. Findings will help inform future research, programs, and policies through a policy brief we will create based on the inputs from participants.

Introduce the week's themes, identify missing voices, begin The Wall, and invite participants into the week's collective journey.

This one-hour interactive workshop introduces participants to the cultural significance of traditional Fijian Masi (tapa cloth) through storytelling (Talanoa) and hands-on Masi printing. Participants will explore themes of identity, inclusion, resilience, and community while creating both an individual design and contributing to a collaborative Collective Masi artwork. The session highlights how culture and creativity can strengthen connection, reduce stigma, and celebrate our shared humanity.

This session brings EGPAF President Doris Macharia and Uganda-based Community Advisor Ismail Harerimana to a shared stage to talk about why they do this work, what it will take to end pediatric AIDS, and how large organizations and communities can work together. The session will showcase how leaders at different levels are making an impact in the global HIV response and will have a Q/A portion for the audience.

Too often, Executives and Community Leaders are speaking in different rooms to different audiences. This session aims to break down those barriers.

Este espaço de acolhimento é uma vivência imersiva e segura, formatada exclusivamente para até 20 jovens (18 a 29 anos) vivendo com HIV/AIDS. Inspirada em metodologias de suporte entre pares, a atividade busca desmedicalizar a conversa sobre o HIV e focar na vida real.

A partir de um círculo horizontal de escuta, o tema central percorre os caminhos da afetividade, do namoro, das "ficadas" e da decisão de revelar ou não o diagnóstico no campo do desejo. Em paralelo, aborda-se a rotina da adesão ao tratamento antirretroviral — não sob a ótica da cobrança, mas do autocuidado, da rotina jovem, do manejo de efeitos colaterais e do impacto do conceito I= 0 (Indetectável = Zero transmissão) na autoimagem e na saúde mental. É um espaço de construção de redes de afeto, em que a troca de experiências entre iguais fortalece o pertencimento e combate o isolamento social.
