No single prevention method or approach can stop the HIV epidemic on its own. Several interventions have proved highly effective in reducing the risk of, and protecting against, HIV infection, including male and female condoms, the use of antiretroviral medicines as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and the treatment of people living with HIV, to reduce viral load and prevent onward transmission. Despite the availability of this widening array of effective HIV prevention tools and a massive scale-up of HIV treatment in recent years, new infections among adults globally have not decreased sufficiently, and infections have actually increased in the United States among African American gay and bisexual men and Hispanic/Latino gay and bisexual men. Although the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has issued clinical practice guidelines for PrEP use in the United States, numerous implementation barriers remain, including questions about the effectiveness of PrEP, optimal settings for provision, cost, and the most effective ways to motivate healthcare practitioners to prescribe PrEP. Protocols to identify individuals who are most likely to benefit from PrEP have been developed, but addressing racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic disparities poses additional challenges. This activity will marry Dr. Donna Sweet’s personal experiences in clinical utilization of HIV prevention strategies with practical, evidence-based guidance for patient care decisions, to provide additional motivation and rationale for participants to review their own current management strategies and adjust them as needed to optimize patient care. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Effectively engage clients in conversations about sexual health practices to assess HIV risk factors and support their ability to have healthy sex lives, Develop a set of comprehensive competencies (with a focus on PrEP interventions) based on a provider’s individual client needs, Apply current evidence with individual client needs/preferences when integrating HIV prevention options (eg, PrEP, PEP, viral suppression, female condoms) into practice, Employ culturally competent educational and counseling strategies to improve the uptake of prevention measures among clients at increased risk for HIV infection, Facilitate access to HIV prevention options by effectively connecting clients to available resources, support, and assistance, Describe currently available and emerging tools that have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission or acquisition, Describe currently available methods for client-friendly diagnostic tests that measure and improve adherence to medications.

Intravitreal treatments have advanced rapidly to become the mainstay of therapy for DR/DME. Anti-VEGF agents and corticosteroid implants have demonstrated efficacy for reducing vision loss from DR/DME and may be administered adjunctively to laser photocoagulation. Increasingly, studies comparing these treatments in combination, in sequence, or in head-to-head trials are becoming available, helping to refine decisions regarding the right therapy for the right patient at the right time. Additionally, new intravitreal treatments offer the potential of even higher efficacy, greater safety, or longer intervals between retreatments. Join our panel of noted retina specialists for an engaging discussion of emerging agents, including a review of recent reported clinical trials and their implications for advancing patient-centered care for DR/DME. The expert dialogue will be complemented by noteworthy insights from a patient with DR/DME who will share her personal insights on diagnosis and treatment. This three-part activity is divided into multiple chapters for ease of navigation and access: Part 1. Great Expectations: What Are We Asking of Patients Undergoing DR/DME Treatment?, Part 2. Seeking a Higher Standard of Care: Advances in Therapy for DR/DME, Part 3. Patient Considerations and Newer Therapies: The Practical Side of Advances in Therapy for DR/DME. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe challenges associated with current intravitreal treatment regimens for DR/DME from the patient perspective, Differentiate the benefits and limitations of current and emerging intravitreal agents for the treatment of DR/DME, Evaluate the evidence for current and emerging intravitreal agents to prevent vision-threatening outcomes in patients with DR/DME, Incorporate a personalized, patient-centered approach to the use of intravitreal therapies in patients with DR/DME.

In this activity, an expert in eosinophilic esophagitis discusses the latest research, data, and guidelines on novel and emerging targeted therapies. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Interpret recent developments in clinical research and treatment guidelines regarding the management of eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE), Employ the latest clinical data, including evidence concerning novel and emerging targeted therapies, into treatment plans for the management of patients with EoE as they become available.

In this activity, based on a recent live symposium, experts in neurology explore the mechanisms of action of S1PR modulators approved for the treatment of multiple sclerosis (MS), highlighting the similarities and differences among treatment options and reviewing the efficacy and safety data for these therapies and their potential effects on markers of treatment response or disease progression (eg, brain atrophy, neurofilament protein levels, cognitive test results). The burden, assessment, and management of cognitive impairment in MS, which occurs in over 50% of people with MS and can greatly affect patients’ functioning and quality of life, is also examined in this activity. The expert faculty also present and discuss patient case scenarios, through which they explore best practices in the care of patients with varied disease presentations and clinical contexts. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Describe the mechanisms of action for S1PR modulators approved for the treatment of MS in the context of disease pathophysiology, Recognize the therapeutic effects of S1PR modulators approved for the treatment of MS, including efficacy, safety, and tolerability, and the potential impact on emerging disease state markers (eg, brain atrophy, neurofilament protein, cognition), Use S1PR modulators appropriately, according to current recommendations and evidence, to meet treatment needs of individuals with MS.

In this animated activity, an expert in dermatology discusses new and novel therapies addressing unmet patient needs in the management of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Recognize CSU as a heterogeneous, disabling, and persistent disease with multiple comorbidities and consequences, Conduct a thorough medical history to guide the selection of adequate and relevant tests for the diagnostic workup in CSU, Discuss how recent insights into the pathogenesis of CSU have led to the development of novel therapeutic targets, Evaluate recent clinical trial data related to novel treatment options for CSU, Treat CSU in accordance with current evidence and expert recommendations, identifying patients who would likely derive benefit from newer therapeutic options.

Despite the widespread use of surgery as a standard of care for tenosynovial giant cell tumor (TGCT), several therapeutic challenges remain, particularly in the setting of diffuse TGCT, where recurrent and difficult-to-treat disease can be present. In this activity, an orthopedic surgeon and medical oncologist debate the case-based management of challenging TGCT presentations, and illustrate the nuances of multidisciplinary collaboration when managing patients with TGCT. Throughout, the panelists profile a modern management synthesis that combines surgery, physical therapy, and the use of targeted agents, including for patients for whom surgery alone is unlikely to be beneficial.
