Release Date: October 11, 2023
Expiration Date: November 21, 2024

Description:
Through a series of patient cases, participants will explore the complexities of managing HIV infection in patients who have been treated with multiple different HIV regimens. Participants will engage in real-life case studies that will provide valuable insight into the intricacies of HIV treatment and resistance testing. Our faculty educators will discuss commonly encountered challenges faced by the care team and their treatment-experienced patients with HIV and offer real-life strategies and evidence-based recommendations to improve outcomes.

Learning Objectives:
