About the Program:

Program Overview:

The ARV Therapies and Therapeutic Strategies program is a comprehensive, independent review of IDWeek 2020. This program consists of two components: (1) From Conference to Clinic: Reviewing and Applying Data from IDWeek 2020**: a case-based on-line webcast featuring expert faculty reviewing key presentations with a focus on clinical management and treatment; and (2) IDWeek 2020 e-Newsletter: a brief on-line summary of the most essential data presented at the conference.

The IDWeek 2020 e-Newsletter features a portable electronic summary of key presentations and data presented at the conference. This activity will quickly 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.  

This program is jointly provided by the Annenberg Center for Health Sciences at Eisenhower and ViralEd, Inc. It is not a session created by or presented at IDWeek 2020 and it is not sanctioned by the organizers of IDWeek 2020. 

** This component is jointly provided by the Postgraduate Institute for Medicine and ViralEd, Inc and supported by an independent educational grant from Merck & Co., Inc.
