Despite a widening array of effective HIV prevention tools and a massive scale-up of HIV treatment in recent years, there has been unequal progress with increasing access to treatment and reducing the number of new HIV infections and AIDS-related deaths, resulting in several vulnerable populations being left behind. Stigma and discrimination, together with other social inequalities and exclusion, are proving to be key barriers in battling this epidemic. In this activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, provider and patient perspectives on overcoming barriers to modern HIV treatment strategies will be examined. Additionally, the engaging panel will discuss the importance of establishing strong patient–provider relationships and demonstrating an understanding of the unique challenges faced by each individual patient living with HIV. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants should be better able to: Apply updated evidence-based guidelines and recent clinical data when recommending initial antiretroviral therapy (ART) regimens and switch strategies for individual patients infected with HIV, Assess the potential impact of clinical trial data related to emerging therapeutic strategies for HIV, Effectively prevent or manage drug–drug interactions, adverse events, and other complications associated with HIV, ART, and comorbidities, Establish strong patient–provider relationships, and demonstrate an understanding of the unique challenges faced by each individual patient living with HIV, Develop strategies within the healthcare team to link people living with HIV to essential HIV care, treatment, and support services.

Obesity is a complex chronic disease that can cause serious health complications. Current guidelines advocate for the use of multiple interventions to address the genetic, behavioral, and metabolic factors that contribute to insufficient weight loss or weight regain. Weight-loss pharmacotherapy is a recommended approach with distinct mechanisms of action that can affect different aspects of obesity pathophysiology. In this activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, leading experts examine the pathophysiology of obesity, focusing on metabolic adaptation and the role of GLP-1 in energy consumption and expenditure and review the latest evidence for GLP-1–based agents. The panel also discusses clinically relevant patient scenarios to offer practical guidance on identifying ideal candidates for weight-loss medications and integrating these medications into individualized treatment plans in order to optimize health outcomes and promote long-term weight loss. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Recognize the role of weight-loss pharmacotherapy used adjunct to other treatment approaches for addressing obesity pathophysiology, including metabolic adaptation, Assess available evidence on current and emerging GLP-1–based weight-loss pharmacotherapies, including long-term efficacy and safety data, Incorporate GLP-1–based weight-loss pharmacotherapy, as appropriate, into individualized, evidence-based treatment plans for long-term obesity management.

Growing appreciation of the importance of B-cell–targeted therapies in multiple sclerosis (MS) management has spurred research into the potential role that Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK) inhibitors may play in MS management. In this activity, based on a recent live satellite symposium, expert faculty will put BTK inhibitors into context, starting with the expanding understanding of the inflammatory and neurodegenerative processes of MS, the roles of B cells, microglia, and T cells, and how the ongoing investigations of BTK inhibitors as possible MS treatments build upon the successes of B-cell–targeted therapies. They will also review the evidence related to current clinical trials and engage learners in a case-based discussion exploring how BTK inhibitors might someday be deployed to address unmet needs of individuals with MS. Upon completion of this CE activity, participants will be able to: Recognize characteristics and evidence related to the role of BTK inhibitors in addressing MS pathophysiology, Compare characteristics of BTK inhibitors with other B-cell–targeted therapies, Evaluate available data on the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of BTK inhibitors in the context of addressing the treatment needs of patients with MS.

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.
