American Pharmacists Association and American Academy of HIV Medicine Announce Endorsement of Pharmacy-Based HIV Prevention Services Certificate Training Program

WASHINGTON, DC (December 1, 2025): The American Pharmacists Association (APhA) and the American Academy of HIV Medicine (AAHIVM) today announce that AAHIVM has formally endorsed the clinical and educational content of APhA’s Pharmacy-Based HIV Prevention Services Certificate Training Program and Microcredential. The endorsement follows a detailed review by AAHIVM subject matter experts to confirm the program meets the Academy’s high standards for HIV prevention and clinical excellence.

The announcement is being issued on World AIDS Day (December 1) — a global day of awareness, remembrance and commitment to ending the HIV epidemic. The timing reflects both organizations’ shared dedication to expanding access to HIV prevention services and strengthening the health care workforce that supports individuals with HIV or who have a high likelihood of acquiring it.

APhA’s Pharmacy-Based HIV Prevention Services Certificate Training Program is designed to empower pharmacists with the clinical knowledge and operational tools necessary to deliver HIV prevention and sexual-wellness services. AAHIVM’s endorsement reinforces its quality, relevance and value as pharmacists expand access to HIV prevention services nationwide.
