We invite women living with HIV, clinicians, researchers, service providers, funders, policymakers, WHO representatives and everyone interested to convene at this event to co-create a National Call to Action (C2A) to advance the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of women living with HIV in Canada. The session will include: – Networking breakfast. – Panel discussion on components, priorities and opportunities for a C2A for diverse interest groups. – World Café-style small working groups to review and refine drafted C2A for clinical, policy, research and programming settings; and discussions on accountability, ownership and support. Over the past seven years of national consultation and activism, including ancillary events at CAHR 2018/23, feedback has been received on how to advance the SRHR of women living with HIV. These findings have been published in the 2022 “Key Recommendations for developing a national action plan to advance the SRHR of women living with HIV in Canada” (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/17455057221090829) and the 2025 “Meaningful engagement as a cornerstone for implementation of the key recommendations to advance the SRHR of women living with HIV across policy, practice, and research in Canada” (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/23259582241302773). The C2A is rooted in these learnings, and this ancillary event will be an opportunity to review, refine and finalize a national C2A. Host(s): Simon Fraser University Speakers/Moderators: A diverse range of panelists will present, including women living with HIV, Indigenous leaders, HIV clinicians, staff from AIDS service organizations and researchers from across the country. Participation: Open to all CAHR 2025 attendees. Pre-registration required. Registration: Participants will pre-register through this link: surveymonkey.ca/r/YFFDT6H
