Additional Information
Overview
Assessment of Needs
Mpox illnesses, including severe infections, continue to occur across the United States and around the world. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with HIV-associated immunosuppression and people with HIV who are not virologically suppressed can be at increased risk of severe mpox. This webinar provides an update on what clinicians need to know regarding mpox, particularly the latest guidance in clinical recognition, management, and treatment, including current and ongoing research and gaps in knowledge.
Learning Objectives
On completion of this activity, learners will be able to:
- Explain what we knew about mpox before the 2022 mpox outbreak
- Describe what we learned about testing, treatment, and vaccination during the 2022 mpox outbreak and what we are learning from the active outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
- Summarize what is still unknown and describe how ongoing research initiatives, like the STOMP study, contribute to addressing these knowledge gaps

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 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.
