While an increasing number of options exist for effectively treating patients with HIV infection, many clinicians find it challenging to keep abreast of important developments in HIV therapeutics. To address this problem, this CME dinner program series will use case studies to highlight and discuss the relative merits and clinical significance of new findings in HIV medicine presented at the 21st Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2014). Because the focus of the dinner programs will be on case studies, participants will need to be familiar with data from CROI 2014 that may be applied and discussed. Therefore, prior to attending a dinner program, participants will view an Internet presentation that summarizes and discusses the key data presented at CROI 2014. As a result of this blended learning approach, participants will not only gain an increased understanding of key data presented at CROI 2014, they will also be prepared to use these data in the clinic to address HIV-positive patients' health needs and provide the optimal care available, which will help to improve virologic suppression and antiretroviral adherence, increase the delivery of individualized care, reduce resistance and treatment failure, and improve patient outcomes and quality of life.
This program is produced by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and ViralEd, Inc.. It is not a session created by or presented at CROI 2014 and it is not sanctioned by CROI 2014.
This activity has been designed to meet the educational needs of physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses and other health care professionals involved in the care of patients with HIV infection.
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
Use in a clinical setting findings from key new studies on HIV/AIDS diagnosis, management and treatment presented at CROI 2014
Employ the current treatment paradigms for HIV/AIDS, including the studies and data presented at CROI 2014 to improve patient care
Discuss with patients and colleagues the studies and data on newer therapies for HIV/AIDS presented at CROI 2014 and use that discussion to decide on appropriate planning of therapy for patients with HIV/AIDS

The Postgraduate Institute for Medicine designates this live activity for a maximum of 2.0 AMA PRA Category 1 Credit(s)™.
Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
As of August 1, 2013, pharmaceutical companies are required by the open payments act (AKA Sunshine Act) to account for certain transfers of value provided to physicians. The federal guidance for the Sunshine Act provides exceptions for CME expenses that meet certain criteria. We believe the program to which you are invited meets these exceptions, and therefore we will not be collecting, nor reporting, any information gathered from this program. If federal guidance is further clarified in the future, we will then provide that information to the supporting pharmaceutical companies to the best of our ability.
The Postgraduate Institute for Medicine (PIM) requires instructors, planners, managers and other individuals who are in a position to control the content of this activity to disclose any real or apparent conflict of interest (COI) they may have as related to the content of this activity. All identified COI are thoroughly vetted and resolved according to PIM policy. The existence or absence of COI for everyone in a position to control content will be disclosed to participants prior to the start of each activity.
