Information is presented through a mix of didactic lectures, clinically relevant cases, and expert panel discussions developed and led by an expert faculty of HIV/AIDS clinicians and researchers.

After participating in the activity, learners will be better able to:

  • Implement the latest recommendations for initiating and changing antiretroviral therapy in particular clinical circumstances, such as comorbid conditions, coinfections, pregnancy, and issues in older patients
  • Describe the most current data from recent scientific conferences, including research on new and investigational antiretroviral drugs and approaches and COVID-19
  • Describe the current epidemiology, clinical presentations, and management of the most common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in adults with HIV infection
  • Describe how and when to conduct frailty and cognition assessments for older patients with HIV
  • Describe how to screen for anal cancer and what the real-world implications are in your practice
