Assessment of Needs
Although the overall incidence of HIV drug resistance has declined in the era of modern antiretroviral therapy (ART), some individuals continue to experience treatment failure due to the emergence of drug resistance. These patients require innovative and effective therapeutic strategies to achieve and maintain viral suppression. This webinar will review current treatment options for individuals with drug-resistant HIV, explore advances in drug resistance testing, and highlight approaches that support improved adherence and sustained virologic control.
Learning Objectives
On completion of this activity, learners will be able to:
- Describe what is currently known about the management of resistance to existing drugs, including new and long-acting medications
- Identify and apply up-to-date options for HIV resistance and diagnostic testing
- Describe the role of archived DNA proviral HIV-1 genotype testing to guide adjustments in ART regimens
- Implement strategies to simplify ART regimens to enhance adherence and virologic outcomes

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.
