The Minnesota Department of Human Services is sponsoring the 2025 Minnesota Statewide Conference on HIV on June 10 - 13, 2025. The groundbreaking event will bring together people living with and affected by HIV, healthcare providers, allied health professionals, community-based organizations, public health professionals, and advocates across Minnesota to explore the latest advancements, strategies, and opportunities in HIV prevention, treatment, and care, while also exploring other intersections that impact communities that are disproportionately affected by HIV.

Our vision is to create a dynamic conference that mirrors the best practices of national gatherings, featuring well-coordinated plenary and breakout sessions, impactful networking opportunities, and dedicated spaces for sharing innovative projects and strategies to end HIV and support those living with it.

Target Audience
Counselors, Nurses, PAs, Pharmacists, Physicians, Psychologists and Social Workers. Allied health professionals, people living with and affected by HIV, public health professionals, and anyone strategically placed to influence the HIV epidemic are also welcome.
