SUMMARY:Infectious and Other Complications of Immunobiologic Agents Used by HIV-Infected Individuals
DESCRIPTION:Overview\n\nAssessment of Needs\nAs the HIV population ages\, the risk of autoimmune diseases and malignancies is increasing. Since the late 1990s\, advances in immunoregulatory cytokines or immune cells have revolutionized treatment. The pace of drug development in this area has only accelerated in recent years and a wider swath of patients with a variety of diseases are eligible for therapy. These include HIV-infected patients with rheumatoid arthritis\, psoriasis\, inflammatory bowel disease\, multiple sclerosis and an increasing number of other diseases including malignancies. When immunoregulatory molecules are targeted and blocked\, infectious\, and further autoimmune and malignant consequences can arise. Clinicians should be aware of specific opportunistic infections that may occur with these agents\, know strategies to mitigate this risk\, and devise ways to discuss risks with patients.\nLearning Objectives\nOn completion of this webinar\, learners will be able to:\n\n 	List the types of conditions for which biologic agents may be prescribed for people with HIV infection\n 	Explain the mechanism of action of these agents to a patient in your practice so that he or she may understand why certain opportunistic infections and other complications may arise\n 	Describe the array of infectious and other complications that may arise with these agents\n 	Design strategies that you can use in clinic to prevent infectious and other complications in your patients\n\nRegistration\nWho Should Attend\nThis advanced webinar is designed for clinical decision makers who are actively involved in HIV care and research.\n\nThis activity is also relevant for registered nurses\, PharmDs\, and other health professionals.\n\nIndividual registration is required\, even if you are viewing as a group\, in order to receive CME credit or a certificate of participation.\n\nRegistration closes on Wednesday\, May 9\, 2018\, 4:00 PM (PT).\n\nCertificates will be available after the completion of the evaluation and claim form.\n\nFor more information or questions\, please contact the registration department at registration@iasusa.org or 415-544-9400.\nConflicts of Interest\nIn the interest of maintaining the independence of its CME activities\, and in accordance with the policies of the Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME)\, the IAS–USA requires all persons with control of content (eg\, faculty\, IAS–USA Board members\, and program staff) to disclose any financial relationships that they or their spouses or partners have had with commercial companies within the past 12 months.
