Overview

Assessment of Needs

Tuberculosis (TB) is a preventable but leading cause of death in persons with HIV (PWH). Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) typically occurs when the CD4+ count is less than 50 cells/μL. This case-based presentation will review the key antiretroviral considerations and drug-drug interactions associated with the management of TB and MAC infections in PWH. Recommendations to minimize significant antiretroviral drug-drug interactions in persons receiving prophylaxis and treatment of TB and MAC infections are presented.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:

  • Summarize the current treatment regimens recommended for the prophylaxis and treatment of TB and MAC infections in PWH
  • Identify the key antiretroviral drug-drug interactions associated with the coadministration of current TB and MAC prophylaxis and treatment regimens
  • Select the most appropriate antiretroviral regimen when managing PWH with TB and MAC infections

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 will identify and resolve 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 presenter and planners/reviewers is below and in the slides prior to the presentation of educational content.
