This progress has yielded more treatment choices for clinicians and patients, but it also adds greater complexity to the already diverse field of HIV treatments. Clinicians must keep apprised of new data regarding treatment strategies, including drug simplification and long-acting injectables, selection of appropriate individualized therapy, and effective management of treatment side effects. In this interactive, case-based program, expert faculty provide guidance on what is new in HIV management in 2022 and how to incorporate new treatment strategies into clinical practice. They discuss various aspects of HIV management, including the selection of an initial antiretroviral regimen for a newly diagnosed pregnant patient, switching regimens as a result of patient preferences, and strategies to help achieve treatment adherence. This program includes the unique, audience-engaging, educational gaming platform, Wheel of Knowledge Challenge! Agenda6:30 PM Registration and Dinner 7:00 PM Introduction and Pretest Paul E.
