Agenda

Program Description

Because we know it is difficult for you to dedicate an entire day to participating in a virtual course at present, this national virtual update will concentrate on the key issues on which most of you are likely focusing. We will cover other topics related to comorbidities, issues in aging, and so on in our COW webinar programming, which you can access live or on demand.

This course is scheduled to accommodate HIV clinicians in most US time zones and is open to all.

Assessment of Needs

Rapid advances in HIV disease management require the ongoing attention of practitioners involved in HIV medicine. This course will address the implications of new information on strategies for clinical management. Information will be presented through a mix of didactic lectures and clinically relevant cases developed by an expert faculty of HIV/AIDS clinicians and researchers.

Learning Objectives

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

  • Describe the most current data from recent scientific conferences, including research on new and investigational antiretroviral drugs and approaches
  • Identify situations in which the choice of antiretroviral regimens should consider particular clinical circumstances, such as comorbid conditions, coinfections, pregnancy, and issues in older patients
  • Initiate and monitor HIV prevention intervention strategies, including the use of postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) and preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), in individuals at risk for HIV infection
  • Describe the status of vaccine development for COVID-19
  • Describe the possible changes to HIV public policy in 2021

Conflicts of Interest

In 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. Any real or apparent conflicts of interest of those parties are resolved prior to the CME activity being delivered. Individuals who refuse to disclose financial interests may not participate in an IAS–USA CME activity.

The ACCME defines a commercial interest as “any entity producing, marketing, re-selling, or distributing health care goods or services consumed by, or used on, patients. The ACCME does not consider providers of clinical service directly to patients to be commercial interests – unless the provider of clinical service is owned, or controlled by, an ACCME-defined commercial interest.”
