Assessment of Needs
This webinar will provide a concise summary of the latest 2021 update to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) guidelines. The guidelines include new clinical guidance for the prescription of cabotegravir injections as PrEP for sexually active adults, which was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration in December 2021. Additionally, it provides key changes in testing and monitoring patients who are starting or taking PrEP.
This webinar is part 1 of a 2-part webinar series on the updated PrEP guidelines. Part 2 will discuss the implementation of long-acting PrEP in a clinic, in a case-based panel discussion. Date and time to be announced.

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.
