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 the economic burden of HIV,
including factors that contribute to poor prognosis and
increased costs
-
Compare and contrast new and
emerging antiretroviral therapies (ART) based on the latest
evidence for their efficacy, safety, and adherence potential
-
Assess approaches currently utilized
by third party payers to manage costs associated with the care
of patients with HIV
-
Discuss the managed care
considerations of new and emerging therapies by exploring where
these agents may fit into current HIV management paradigm
-
Align managed care decisions with
updated guidelines and evidence on initial ART selection and ART
switching based on patient-specific factors, including
comorbidities, concomitant medications, age, adherence, and
patient preferences
