Assessment of Needs
Rapid advances in HIV disease management require the ongoing attention of practitioners involved in direct patient care. This course will address the implications of new information on strategies for the clinical management of HIV. Information will be 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.
Learning Objectives
After participating in the activity, learners will be 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 HIV scientific conferences, including research on new and investigational antiretroviral drugs
- Describe the current epidemiology, clinical presentation, prevention, and management of relevant common sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in adults with HIV
- Manage substance use disorders, including opioids, stimulants, and alcohol in people with HIV
- Integrate findings from the REPRIEVE trial into the treatment plans for adults with HIV
- Describe the current research of GLP-1 agonist therapy for people with HIV
- Identify the challenges of hypertension and cardiometabolic complications in people on antiretroviral therapy
Conflicts of Interest
In the interest of maintaining the independence of its continuing medical education (CME) activities, the International Antiviral Society–USA (IAS–USA) requires all persons with control of educational content (eg, faculty, Scientific Leadership Board, Governance Board, and program planner) to disclose any financial relationships with ineligible companies (previously defined as “commercial interests”) that they have had within the past 24 months. Any real or apparent conflicts of interest of those parties are resolved and mitigated prior to the CME activity being delivered. Individuals who refuse to disclose financial interests may not participate in IAS–USA CME activities.
The Accreditation Council for Continuing Medical Education (ACCME) defines ineligible companies as “those whose primary business is producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients.”
IAS–USA identified and resolved ahead of time any possible conflicts of interest that may influence CME activities with regard to exposition or conclusion. Information about financial relationships with ineligible companies for the presenters and planners/reviewers are available in the esyllabus and in the slides prior to the presentation of educational content.
