When selecting efficient treatment regimens for specific HIV-positive patient populations, including patients that have experienced treatment failure, pediatric patients, and Black/African American patients, it is imperative that clinicians utilize strategic protocols to safely switch treatment regimens. This includes reviewing patients’ full treatment history, reviewing active medication lists, and considering patient preference, as well as monitoring patients after switching. This CME Outfitters BriefCase introduces Jeff, a 31-year-old African American infected with HIV perinatally, and discusses the when and how of switching antiretroviral therapy (ART) based on safety and efficacy data.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Integrate best practices for initiating and switching patients to ART based on safety and efficacy profiles.
- Translate emerging data from national conferences to treatment decisions in clinical practice.
