Overview
Antiretroviral therapy (ART) for treating HIV has improved dramatically over the past decade. This progress has yielded more treatment choices for clinicians and patients but also adds greater complexity to the already-diverse field of HIV treatment. In this CPE activity, participants will listen to expert faculty in a series of 4 podcasts. The faculty will explore various aspects of HIV management, including recent advances in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), use of 3-drug versus 2-drug regimens, individualizing ART regimens in aging patients with HIV, as well as the management of patients with HIV who struggle with stigma and/or adherence.
Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is pharmacists involved in the management of patients with or at risk for HIV.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of this activity, participants should be better able to:
- Explore how pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV can successfully be implemented into clinical practice using an interprofessional approach.
- Assess the latest evidence regarding the selection of antiretroviral regimens in aging patients with HIV.
- Recognize the need for antiretroviral treatment regimens that improve patient adherence to therapy.
- Compare the use of 3-drug versus 2-drug antiretroviral regimens in terms of efficacy, safety, and meeting the needs of individual patients with HIV.
