Program Overview
HIV is a life-long condition that is becoming increasingly complex. Clinicians must be prepared to face myriad situations over a patient’s lifespan, relating both to their HIV and to either other comorbidities or issues such as stigma or social determinants of health. In this interactive activity, you will follow a patient diagnosed as an adolescent through his lifespan with HIV to make decisions about common challenges. Dr. Onyema Ogbuagu will review rapid ART, educating adolescents, addressing nonadherence due to challenges in social determinants of health, implicit bias, long-acting injectables, virologic failure, switching ART regimens, 2-drug regimens, common comorbidities in aging patients, and drug-drug interactions, all placed in the context of important mile markers along a patient’s HIV journey.

Educational Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
• Discuss requirements and antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimen options for treatment initiation and reinitiation
• Identify subsequent regimens for a patient experiencing virologic failure
• Tailor ART regimens to mitigate comorbidities and reduce drug-drug interactions in aging patients with HIV
• Address factors outside of ART regimens that affect a patient’s HIV journey, such as stigma and social determinants of health
