PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Recent advances in antiretroviral therapy have improved the outlook for people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), allowing them greater freedom to focus on their lives, rather than their diagnosis. When considering prevention and treatment, patients have many options, including single-tablet, once-daily, and long-acting injectable antiretroviral regimens. Most recently, the approval of a novel, long-acting treatment for patients with multidrug-resistant HIV has been added to the treatment armamentarium.

Join our distinguished faculty and patient ambassadors to learn more about advances in HIV prevention and treatment, including holistic approaches to care. Discussion will include strategies to reduce disparities, increasing prevention efforts and patient engagement, and the current and emerging approaches to HIV treatment and prevention.
