USCHA is fast approaching, and we’re excited for our annual family reunion.  USCHA’s Southern Advisory and Host Committees have been working hard all year to curate a great conference experience for all.  We thank our session presenters for providing new opportunities for skills-building to address the HIV epidemic in our communities. We also thank our USCHA partners and stakeholders that are actively involved in making this year’s theme of #Southern Joy come to life.

Plenary Sessions and Special Events

Thursday, September 12

11:30am – 1:30pm
Opening Plenary Luncheon: The South Has Something to Say!

The South is extremely diverse, and the community is vast.  Yet in that diversity there is a uniqueness across communities and shared experience across backgrounds and communities.  Through the lens of southern joy, southern pride and southern history, the opening plenary explores our diversity and shared experience.  Furthermore, the plenary explores the way our communities look now and where our focus needs to be towards treating and ending HIV/AIDS while also navigating critical issues such as voting and elections, Medicaid expansion, stigma and racial discrimination.  As a nation, we tend to segment and build silos, but the opening plenary offers an opportunity to really talk about the South as a beautiful mix of all kinds of folks all trying to do this work together.

6:30pm – 8:00pm
Welcome Reception: Southern Joy, Southern Bounce

The Louisiana Host Committee has planned a great evening of entertainment and Southern hospitality to welcome all conference attendees.  New Orleans native Big Freedia will kick off the conference with Southern Bounce.  Make sure you’re there!

Sunday, September 15

11:30am – 1:30pm
Closing Plenary Luncheon: The South Calls, Nosotres Respondemos El Sur Llama, We Respond

The Southern United States sets the foundation for reaching the End HIV Epidemic 2030 goals. Uplifting and supporting Hispanic/Latine populations in the South is essential. As the South has become a new destination for many migrants, it’s also home to Hispanic/Latine Southerners with an expansive history in the region. This blend of new and established communities enriches the Southern cultural landscape but also presents unique challenges and opportunities in addressing HIV. Immigration detention, access to health care, and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation exacerbate the barriers for people living with and impacted by HIV.

Join us to learn how addressing the needs of the Hispanic/Latine communities will ensure being steps closer to ending the epidemic. Experience the culture of New Orleans with a Garifuna performance, an Afro-Latine indigenous community that has lived in New Orleans for over 86 years and a notable southern drag performance as we embrace diversity, unity, action, and love and leave with a renewed sense of how to serve the underserved communities in the South.
