Updates in HIV Pharmacotherapy: It's the beginning of a new era!
Learn about the latest HIV medications and treatment regimens in this CE activity. Updated data and research on two-drug regimens will be discussed. Stay current with the latest guidelines.
About this course
A few new medications have been approved by the FDA in the last few years, causing new treatment regimens to be developed. A three-drug regimen was the cornerstone of HIV therapy. However, more recent data shows that two-drug regimens are equally effective in managing viral replication. This CE activity is aimed to update the audience about these changes. It recalls the different classes of HIV medications currently available, and discusses the preferred and alternative medication regimens based on the latest Department of Health and Human Services guidelines. Data from recently published research will be extensively reviewed.

I am always interested in continuing education in the areas of health, wellness, nutrition and mental health. Your course was well written, well organized and helpful in meeting state licensure requirements.
Very well written, easy to digest, time efficient, and straight to the point. Thank you!
I appreciate the convenience of the course being online and accessible through my phone and that it directly reports to CEBroker to support mandated education requirements.
I really loved this information. I was hospitalized last year for almost a month and I noticed multiple medical errors (not being hooked up to my IV multiple times, given wrong medication which caused my sodium to be very low, etc.) which lengthened my stay. I can now define those exact errors and better understand what happened to me. I hate that these medical errors are so common and I appreciate how well laid out your breakdown and categorization of them was.
I am always looking for concise ,thorough, and up to date continuing education, and this course provided exactly what I was looking for. Thank you
Enjoyed this course! It squarely met my license renewal requirement as a physician. It was well-written, and an altogether enjoyable read.
