he Clinician Consultation Center (CCC), the AETC program’s national expert clinical consultation project, has launched a new monthly web series for healthcare providers called PEP Tips. PEP Tips features brief HIV and hepatitis post-exposure management recommendations on topics that CCC consultants encounter on the Post-Exposure Prophylaxis/PEPline. PEP Tips joins CCC’s regular Case of the Month series, in which CCC clinicians present a consultation case about a unique, clinically relevant, or trending HIV-related topic. Case of the Month is now searchable by topic from the CCC’s homepage at nccc.ucsf.edu, where you can also register to initiate online consultations, access the HIV Management Service, PEPline, Perinatal HIV Hotline, and PrEPline numbers, and find links to at-a-glance guidances and FAQs. Additionally, the CCC has created new promotional materials for its consultation services. To request new brochures or additional information for distribution at trainings and other events, contact Communications Specialist, Halley Cornell, at hcornell@nccc.ucsf.edu. v Case of the Month: Simplifying ARV Regimens, Part II Conferences/Training Activities
