Management and Prevention of HIV Infection Among Transgender Adults

Assessment of Needs

The IAS–USA offers this state-of-the-art activity on the evolving challenges of managing HIV disease as part of a nationwide continuing medical education (CME) effort for physicians.

Transgender and gender diverse people have disparate rates of HIV infection compared with cisgender populations due to a combination of structural, individual, interpersonal, biologic, and network factors. This presentation will review recent epidemiologic data related to HIV in transgender populations and describe current and evolving strategies to improve HIV prevention and care, including the effects of gender-affirming care on ART and HIV outcomes.

Update: This webinar will include information regarding gender-affirming therapy and data presented at AIDS 2020. Additionally, this webinar has been extended to 90 minutes.

Learning Objectives

Upon completion of this webinar, learners will be able to:

• Describe the epidemiology of HIV in transgender populations
• Discuss multi-level factors that impact on the HIV prevention and treatment continua
• Describe best practices in hormone therapy management
• Identify strategies to incorporate trans competent healthcare into clinical practice

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.”
