About the Program:

Program Overview:

The ARV Therapies and Therapeutic Strategies program is a comprehensive, independent review of the 9th IAS Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2017). This program consists of five components: (1) IAS 2017 Expert Review: a 1.5 hour Internet symposium that features an overview and discussion of key presentations and posters, selected by the expert faculty discussants; (2) European Perspective on IAS 2017**: a 1.5 hour Case-based Internet symposium featuring Europe-based expert faculty reviewing and discussing key presentations with a focus on clinical management and treatment in the EU; (3) Comprehensive Expert Review and Discussion of Key Presentations: an on-line, in-depth review of 8 of the key poster/presentations reviewed in the Internet symposium (4) Rapid-Fire Review of IAS 2017: a podcast that provides a brief, audio summary of the most essential data presented at the conference; and (5) From Conference to Clinic: Reviewing and Applying Data From IAS 2017: case-based dinner meetings during which the key data are reviewed, discussed and applied to patient care.

From Conference to Clinic: Reviewing and Applying Data From IAS 2017 is an interactive, case-based dinner program series designed to highlight and discuss the clinical significance and application of new findings in HIV medicine presented at IAS 2017. Because the focus of the dinner programs will be on case studies and applying the data presented at IAS 2017 in a clinical setting, prior to attending a dinner program participants will be asked to view the CME Internet Symposium: IAS 2017 Expert Review, which will familiarize them with the IAS 2017 data and serve as a comprehensive conference overview and summary. As a result of this blended learning approach, participants will gain an increased understanding of key data presented at IAS 2017 and be better prepared to address their HIV patients' health needs and provide optimal care in a clinical setting.

All online components of the program will be accessible at www.viraled.com

This program is produced by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and ViralEd, Inc. It is not a session created by or presented at IAS 2017 and it is not sanctioned by the organizers of IAS 2017. 

** The CME Internet Symposium: European Perspective on IAS 2017 component is jointly provided by the Annenberg Center for Health Sciences at Eisenhower and ViralEd, Inc. in collaboration with Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and supported by an independent educational grant from ViiV Healthcare.

Sunshine Act:

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.
