Screening Strategies to Prevent HIV in MSM and Transgender Women

In part 1 of this eHIV Review Special Edition (still available at eHIVreview.org), eHIV Review Program Director Justin Alves, Nurse Educator at Boston Medical Center, reviewed the recent evidence describing some of the barriers to care experienced by marginalized individuals at risk for or living with HIV. In this Part 2 issue, he again calls upon two front-line clinicians in the fight to end the HIV epidemic in the U.S. — Nicky Mehtani, MD, from UCSF Medical Center in San Francisco, and Vanessa Loukas, NP, from Boston University’s Chobanian & Avedisian School of Medicine —to share their clinical approaches.Post test for CME/CE credit: https://elit.dkbmed.com/issues/191/test Hosted on Acast.

Marginalized individuals at risk for or living with HIV — the formerly incarcerated, immigrants, people with unstable housing, residents of rural communities, the rising number with substance use disorder — have long faced disparities in obtaining adequate health care. What do HCPs need to know to understand the unique needs of these underserved populations? How can they provide meaningful, helpful, and culturally sensitive care? What barriers continue to prevent their being brought into the HIV care continuum? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

A wealth of evidence confirms that adolescents and young adults (AYA) are indeed a priority population whose needs must be addressed for the US Ending the HIV Epidemic program to be successful. What do providers need to know about AYA to bring more of these patients into the HIV care continuum? What should they be doing? And what should they avoid doing?Join us as guest author Dr. Vincent Guilamo-Ramos from the Duke University School of Nursing answers these and other questions, in this issue of eHIV Review.Post test for CME/CE credit: https://elit.dkbmed.com/issues/183/testCompanion newsletter: https://elit.dkbmed.com/issues/182 Hosted on Acast.

Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs). Rilpivirine, in combination with cabotegravir, provides a long-acting injectable option for both treatment and PrEP. But what risk factors have been associated with virologic failure? Doravirine appears to provide a favorable impact on weight and lipid outcomes, but with a lower genetic barrier to resistance. Which patients is it right for and in which ones should it be avoided?Join us as we discuss Newer NNRTI Agents in Clinical Practice with Dr. Darcy Wooten from the Division of Infectious Disease at the University of California, San Diego, in this issue of eHIV Review.Take our post-test to claim CME credits.To read a companion newsletter click here.

Treatment-experienced patients with RAMs — resistance-associated mutations — remain a difficult management challenge. Every case of HIV drug resistance requires a therapeutic regimen individualized for each patient’s ART history. How will new and in-development agents affect the equation?Which drug combinations are right? Where does the balance between side effects and adherence lie?These are some of the questions Dr. Brian Wood from the Division of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the University of Washington in Seattle addresses in this eHIV Review podcast.Take our post-test to claim CME credits.To read a companion newsletter click here.
