LEARNING OBJECTIVES
The challenge we face as health care professionals
is keeping current on the latest developments in HIV
clinical care, especially issues regarding co-infections
with hepatitis B and/or C.
Upon completion of this course,
you will be able to:
n Describe current data on preexposure prophylaxis to prevent
HIV infection
The HIV Update course is a comprehensive Continuing
Medical Education program specifically designed to foster
the integration of all aspects of HIV care. The face of the HIV
epidemic has become more multifaceted, such that the care
of today’s HIV-infected patient may involve management of
non-AIDS-defining malignancies, reproductive issues, renal
disease and liver disease as well as ensuring adherence to
life-long antiretroviral therapy.
n Discuss
the clinical
manifestations of HIV disease
n Evaluate
the current standards
of care in monitoring and
treating patients with HIV
infection from the asymptomatic
stage through the various
clinical manifestations.
Our outstanding faculty, recognized as leaders in clinical
practice and medical education, will challenge, refresh, and
enrich your knowledge in all fields of HIV management.
Teaching will be through state-of-the-art lectures, question
and answer sessions with faculty and case-based workshops
involving all course attendees. This will be a critical, well-informed, clinically relevant course.
n Integrate
into practice the
evolving advances in HIV
care, including tailoring
antiretroviral therapy to
genotype and phenotype,
appropriate incorporation of
newer antiretroviral agents,
approach to initial treatment
and salvage antiretroviral
therapy, management of
challenging populations, gender
and reproductive issues, and
appropriate management
of common infections,
opportunistic and otherwise.
HIV-infected patients
regarding antiretroviral therapy
adherence and potential longterm complications such as
the risk for development of
specific malignancies, chronic
liver disease, and chronic
metabolic issues.
Key Topics Include:
n
n
n
n Educate
n Determine
which HIV-infected
patients with hepatitis C virus
(HCV) infection are candidates
for HCV treatment with directly
acting antivirals, design
regimens and assessments of
response, and describe drugdrug interactions, especially in
HIV/HCV coinfected patients on
antiretroviral therapy
n Apply
the most current
knowledge on how to help their
HIV-infected patients live longer,
healthier lives.
