ASHM is currently updating its website, education and resources to reflect this change.

From 17-18 August 2026, the inaugural Pacific HIV Symposium in Nadi, Fiji convened 391 delegates from 15 countries across the region and beyond to address the rapidly climbing HIV epidemic in Fiji and beyond.

This Call to Action outlines the key priorities discussed during the two-day and urgently calls for a multisectoral response — involving Education, Social Welfare, Social Protection and other sectors — to ensure HIV is addressed as a whole-of-society priority.
