Description:
HIV is a lentivirus that causes HIV infection and over time acquired
immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). HIV infection leads to low levels
of CD4+ T cells through a number of specific mechanisms. When CD4+ T
cell numbers decline below a critical level, cell-mediated immunity
is lost, and the body becomes progressively more susceptible to
opportunistic infections. The CDC estimates that 1,218,400 people in
the US aged 13 years and older are living with HIV infection and an
estimated 6,955 people died in 2019. Fortunately, several new
therapies have become available recently, and more are set to become
available soon.
Upon completion of this
activity, participants will be able to:
-
Examine challenges to patient
adherence, administration and quality of life in the management
of HIV
-
Identify strategies to optimize
patient-centered HIV medication therapy management and adherence
support
-
Evaluate strategies to monitor and
manage adverse events associated with new and emerging therapies
in HIV in order to improve patient adherence and quality of life
-
Analyze the role of novel
long-acting injectable and implantable ART formulations
