Statement of Need

The use of antiretroviral (ARV) medication therapies has led to successful treatment for many patients with HIV. However, antiretroviral therapy (ART) resistance and medication adherence problems can reduce the chances of treatment success.1,2 Health care professionals (HCPs) need up-to-date education on the causes of ART resistance and non-adherence for patients who are treatment-experienced, as well as the treatment alternatives available including new ARV therapies with varying mechanisms of delivery (e.g., oral vs. injections). With this education, HCPs will be better prepared to treat patients with HIV who are treatment-experienced, reducing or mitigating the problems of ART treatment resistance and medication non-adherence.

In this CMEOCast podcast, expert faculty will present the latest information on the causes of ART resistance and medication non-adherence in patients with HIV and discuss the latest medication therapies that may prevent or counter treatment resistance and non-adherence, especially in patients who are treatment-experienced.

  • Learning Objectives

    At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:

    • Identify the etiology of ARV treatment resistance to improve HCPs’ competence in assessing and managing HIV in individuals who are heavily treatment experienced.
    • Apply efficacy and safety data for current and new ARV treatments that minimize risk of treatment resistance in treatment-experienced patients with HIV.
    • Evaluate efficacy and safety data for new and emerging long-acting oral and injectable ART regimens for heavily treatment-experienced people with HIV, including individuals with ARV resistance.
