TARGET AUDIENCE

FACULTY

This activity is intended for infectious diseases and human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)– specialist physicians and other clinicians and stakeholders involved in the care of patients with HIV infection.

STATEMENT OF NEED/PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Best-practice recommendations for treatment of patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) are continually evolving and now include strategies related to early initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) in patients with newly diagnosed HIV.1 Rapid, same-day ART initiation protocols offer a promising option for improving linkage to HIV care, decreasing time to viral suppression, and improving long-term viral suppression.2 Shorter time to viral suppression is associated with improved short-term and long-term outcomes for people living with HIV, and benefits the community by decreasing the period in which individuals have transmittable virus.3 Implementation of same-day ART requires a sustained emphasis on the importance of viral suppression for HIV prevention, as well as technical and logistical assistance for its implementation.4 Further, rapid-ART protocols and services must be accompanied by innovative strategies to promote retention in care, especially within vulnerable populations.5 Geared to the needs of HIV-specialist clinicians, this HIV Experts and Evidence™ live meeting series will present recent data related to rapid ART initiation, solutions to logistical and clinical barriers that can impede access to sameday ART regimens, and real-world approaches to enhanced retention in care.
