About the Program

Program Overview

The ARV Therapies and Therapeutic Strategies program is a comprehensive, independent review of the 11th IdWeek Conference on HIV Science (IDWeek 2021).  This program consists of two components: (1) From Conference to Clinic: Reviewing and Applying Data from IDWeek 2021: a case-based webcast featuring expert faculty reviewing key presentations with a focus on clinical management and treatment; (2) IDWeek 2021 e-Newsletter: a brief on-line summary of the most essential data presented at the conference.

The CME Internet Symposium: From Conference to Clinic: Reviewing and Applying Data from IDWeek 2021 will feature a panel of HIV experts reviewing key presentations on antiretroviral therapy presented at IDWeek 2021. The review will include several clinical cases focusing on HIV therapeutic options and developments, including: current treatment and management strategies; algorithms and recommendations; therapies in development; epidemiology, diagnosis and clinical management of specific patient populations. This activity will enable participating health care providers caring for HIV-infected patients to become aware of and understand the data presented at this important conference and appropriately utilize those data to improve patient care. All on-line components of the program can be accessed at www.viraled.com.

This program is jointly provided by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and ViralEd. It is not a session created by or presented at IDWeek 2021 and it is not sanctioned by the organizers of IDWeek 2021.
