Update on HIV Treatment Options (AME)

A new edition of the Online Meeting Highlights series is available now, providing an update on HIV treatment options.

Highly potent and well-tolerated antiretrovirals have transformed HIV into a mostly manageable condition. Integrase inhibitors-based regimens are currently preferred first-line options. Effective and affordable, those drugs also have a high barrier to resistance. Follow this edition and learn more about their safety profiles, potential drug-drug interactions, and key considerations for future monitoring studies.

Compromised adherence, associated in part with a daily pill burden, remains a major obstacle to effective antiretroviral therapy. Designed to tackle this issue, long-acting injectable drugs are opening a new era in HIV prevention and treatment. Find out here about the latest clinical developments and future prospects. Whether these novel drug modalities may offer an alternative solution to a vaccine, and strengthen infection control far beyond HIV that is much needed nowadays?

​All modules can be followed independently and at your own pace. Complete the entire course to equip yourself with the knowledge to work towards making a significant impact on the survival and quality of life of your patients faced with these specific circumstances.

- Interpret clinical data on injectable drug formulations for the prevention and treatment of HIV;

- Understand pharmacological properties, safety profile, and potential drug-drug interactions of integrase inhibitors; and

- Evaluate the optimal choice of generic versus branded antiretroviral drugs​.
