Activity Description

Clinical prevention of HIV and AIDS is the cornerstone of controlling the global HIV pandemic, which has claimed over 40.4 million lives worldwide, including 1.5 million children. Although a cure remains out of reach, HIV is a chronic illness due to the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy. Combined with significant advancements in prevention, the goal of halting the global HIV pandemic is now feasible. Current interventions acknowledge the complexity of clinical management, considering socio-economic factors, patient-centered care, continuous quality improvement, and the importance of social and regulatory environments to achieve optimal patient and population outcomes.  

This activity comprehensively reviews HIV transmission, pathophysiology, clinical presentations, evaluation, up-to-date treatment, reporting, and implementation considerations for specific population groups to prevent the diagnosis of AIDS. Clinicians increase their knowledge, skills, and competence in managing HIV, improving patient outcomes, reducing transmissions, and contributing to global efforts of disease eradication. The role of the interprofessional team is highlighted, emphasizing collaboration among clinical, public health, and interdisciplinary team members. 


Target Audience

This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician associates, nurses, pharmacists, nurse practitioners, dentists, and social workers.

Learning Objectives

At the conclusion of this activity, the learner will be better able to:

  • Determine the stage of HIV and related comorbidities to ensure timely diagnosis and treatment for patients.

  • Apply the principles of antiretroviral therapy and prophylaxis for opportunistic infections to prevent and manage adverse effects.

  • Interpret HIV treatment guidelines to ensure cultural sensitivity and maintain confidentiality for individual patients and affected populations.

  • Collaborate with interprofessional team members to ensure continuity of care, improve patient outcomes for HIV prevention and treatment, and mitigate the risk of AIDS.
