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 on currently available and investigational new 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 Describe the research around the role of therapeutic HIV vaccines and broadly neutralizing antibodies Initiate and monitor HIV prevention intervention strategies, including the use of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP), in individuals at risk for HIV infection Describe current diagnostic and treatment strategies for syphilis, gonorrhea, and chlamydia Identify chronic opioid dependent patients and initiate opioid substitution therapy as appropriate Identify preferred methods of diagnosing, preventing, and managing opportunistic infections including the appropriate use of newer immunizations based on an individual’s immunologic status 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.” Registration Who Should Attend This course is designed for physicians who are actively involved in the medical care of people with HIV infection and: Have a solid, working knowledge of HIV disease management Provide comprehensive or specialty care for patients with HIV infection Are currently active in HIV research This activity is also relevant to nurse practitioners, registered nurses, physician assistants, registered pharmacists, and other health professionals. Representatives and employees of commercial companies (eg, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, medical products, advertising, insurance, investment, and communications firms) must contact the IAS–USA regarding registration procedures. Cancellation Policy Cancellation requests must be made 8 or more days before the date of an activity. All refunds will be processed minus a $15.00 processing charge. Regrettably, any cancellation requests received within a week before the course will not be eligible for the partial refund.
