Webcast
0.75 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™ ...OVERVIEW
New & Investigational Antiretroviral Therapy (ART) Agents is organized by UK HealthCare CECentral.
Start Date: Jun 1, 2024
End Date: Jun 1, 2027
Description:
According to the CDC 36,136 people received an HIV diagnosis in the United States and dependent areas in 2021. The annual number of new diagnoses decreased 7% from 2017 to 2021. It is critical for professionals to have current knowledge to provide effective treatment and education for patients. The CDC also states that Kentucky is at high risk for an HIV outbreak if introduced into the drug using population. HIV therapy was previously limited due to lack of treatment options, but more therapy options increase choice for patient treatment and challenges for providers. Screening for drug misuse is critical to the prevention of or early intervention in addiction.
Treatment with HIV medicines is called antiretroviral therapy (ART). ART is recommended for everyone with HIV, and people with HIV should start ART as soon as possible. People on ART take a combination of HIV medicines (called an HIV treatment regimen) every day. A person's initial HIV treatment regimen generally includes three HIV medicines from at least two different HIV drug classes.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
• Outline innovations with currently approved antiretroviral drugs.
• Identify investigational antiretroviral drugs
