Managing Drug Therapy in HIV Positive Patients
A knowledge-based activity.
LAGUARDIA MARRIOTT HOTEL
PURPOSE:
The advent of potent antiretroviral therapy has resulted in dramatic reductions in
AIDS-related morbidity and mortality in the developed world for patients with
access to these medications. As a result, mortality from AIDS in the United States
has declined approximately 70% since its peak in 1995. Despite these impressive
successes, significant problems remain; these include side-effects, drug-interactions,
HIV medications errors and taking care of HIV (+) patients with co-morbidities.
This continuing education seminar, which co-sponsored with SUNY
Downstate Medical Center, will provide an update for the pharmacist on these
topics.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the completion of this program, the participant will be able to:
1. Describe current expert consensus guidelines on when to initiate antiretroviral
therapy; 2. Discuss the optimization of treatment regimens for both treatmentnaive
and treatment-experienced patients; 3. List clinically relevant side-effects of
antiretroviral therapy; 4. Explain the management of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis
C virus co-infection in patients with HIV infection; 5. Identify HIV medication
errors and how to prevent them.
Continuing Education Credits The College has assigned 5 hours (0.5
ACUs) for attendance and completion of the program evaluation at this seminar.
Statements of continuing pharmacy education credit will be mailed within six
weeks of the program.
