HCV/HIV Series and Case Discussion
April Topic: Altering ART
As HIV continues to increase in West Virginia, it is more important than ever to engage in ongoing discussion around HIV prevention and care. The HCV/HIV ECHO Series brings together healthcare professionals from across the state to review real world case studies related to HIV and HCV treatment, along with broader HIV related clinical topics.
Each session includes a case presentation for group discussion followed by an expert presentation focused on HIV prevention and care, including antiretroviral therapy considerations.
Objectives for this session include:
- Identify the clinical scenarios that may warrant a switch or simplification of antiretroviral therapy, including treatment failure, side effects, and patient preference.?
- Discuss characteristics to assess in patients with HIV, including comorbidities, adherence, viral load history, and resistance when considering a change in antiretroviral therapy.?
- Explore techniques for involving patients in the decision-making process and fostering adherence to new HIV treatment regimens.
Participants from healthcare organizations across the state are welcome to join!
