Community Forum on HIV Care & Prevention

Season 7: Episode 15

This episode is audio from the Community Forum on HIV Care & Prevention featuring candidates for New York’s 12th Congressional District, co-sponsored by the Engelberg Center, PrEP4All, and Save HIV Funding Campaign. It was recorded on May 14, 2026.

In response to rising HIV cases in New York City, PrEP4All and the Save HIV Funding Campaign will convene a Community Forum in partnership with NYU Law’s Engelberg Center on Innovation Law & Policy. Once a national leader in ending the HIV epidemic, New York now faces stalled progress and increasing diagnoses — particularly in communities long disproportionately impacted — making this a critical moment for renewed urgency and leadership.

This Town Hall will bring together candidates for New York’s 12th Congressional District, alongside public health leaders and advocates, for a solutions-driven conversation on expanding PrEP access and strengthening prevention infrastructure. Designed as a high-visibility platform, the forum aims to drive concrete policy commitments and public accountability at a pivotal moment for HIV prevention.

Candidates in attendance include Alex Bores, Chris Diep, Laura Dunn, Dr. Wilneida Negron, Karen Ortiz, Nina Schwalbe, and Patrick Timmins.
