In this activity, experts in HIV prevention and a patient advocate discuss the benefits of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and the necessary tools for engaging patients in conversations about sexual health practices as well as strategies for improving the uptake of HIV prevention measures. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Effectively engage clients in conversations about sexual health practices to assess HIV risk factors and support their ability to have healthy sex lives; Apply current evidence with individual client needs/preferences when integrating HIV prevention options (eg, PrEP, PEP, viral suppression, female condoms) into practice; Employ culturally competent educational and counseling strategies to improve the uptake of prevention measures among clients at increased risk for HIV infection; and Describe currently available and emerging tools that have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission or acquisition.

In this activity, an expert in hepatology discusses the importance of early detection of hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection and presents current and evolving screening, vaccination, and treatment guidelines. The expert emphasizes the role of primary care providers in managing patients with chronic HBV and in helping to reach the WHO goal of eliminating viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030 through vaccination, screening, and patient education. Finally, the expert clarifies when patients with chronic HBV infection should be referred for specialty care. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Describe the burden and consequences of HBV infection and how chronic HBV can lead to end-stage liver disease and hepatocellular carcinoma; Identify patients who should be screened for HBV, which tests should be ordered, and how to interpret the results; Manage HBV in the primary care setting in accordance with current evidence and guidelines, recognizing patients who require specialty care referral; and Implement patient-centered and culturally relevant strategies to promote adherence to HBV treatment and retention in care.

Despite the availability of testing, vaccines, and treatments, COVID-19 remains a threat—no one can predict when a new strain might surface and many questions remain. The virus that causes COVID-19 is designated severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the clinical spectrum of SARS-CoV-2 infection ranges from asymptomatic to critical and fatal illness. Most symptomatic infections are mild; however, a significant number of patients have severe disease requiring hospitalization. Hospitalization and death are more likely in high-risk populations, including older people, individuals with underlying medical problems, and those affected by systemic health and social inequities (ie, minorities, immigrant populations, people of low socioeconomic status, and the disabled). Therapies such as antiviral agents and monoclonal antibodies are available in the United States and Europe for the treatment of COVID-19; however, there are challenges with determining which hospitalized patients may be best suited for which treatment. In this activity, based on a recent live web broadcast, a panel of experts explores strategies to improve outcomes for COVID-19 in the hospital setting, with a focus on designing individualized treatment plans based on current guidelines, evolving evidence, and patient-specific factors. The panel also discusses how differences in drug access and treatment protocols impact the healthcare team in regards to providing individualized treatment programs for patients hospitalized with COVID-19. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Assess patients with COVID-19 to make appropriate treatment recommendations based on disease severity; Differentiate therapies for COVID-19 based on the latest safety and efficacy data from clinical trials; Collaborate with the healthcare team to design timely and individualized treatment plans for hospitalized patients with COVID-19 disease based on current guidelines, evolving evidence, and patient-specific factors; and Discuss the clinical implications of prolonged/persistent viral replication in severe COVID-19

In this activity, based on a recent live webcast, two experts in NTM-LD who represent pulmonology and infectious disease will offer their perspectives to help you achieve greater insight into the recognition and diagnosis of NTM-LD. You will hear the most up-to-date evidence on the management of NTM-LD, including both pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches, and you will receive strategies for handling challenges that arise during treatment. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Employ updated ATS/IDSA guidelines to diagnose and manage NTM-LD promptly; Develop individualized treatment regimens encompassing pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic approaches for patients with NTM-LD according to guideline recommendations and patient factors/goals; and Apply team-based strategies to manage medication adverse events, improve treatment adherence, decrease disease burden, and optimize patient outcomes.

In this activity, experts in HIV prevention discuss how telehealth has transformed access to quality PrEP services in the era of COVID-19 and resources available to help clients in maximizing the full benefits of innovative HIV prevention measures. Upon completion of this activity, participants should be better able to: Discuss how telehealth has transformed access to quality HIV prevention and care services in the era of COVID-19; Outline the telehealth technical resources available to maximize the full benefits of innovative HIV prevention measures; and Identify opportunities and strategies to leverage existing resources and infrastructure development to support the extension/utilization of telehealth services for PrEP by the healthcare team.

Solid organ transplant recipients may be at increased risk for COVID-19 because they are immunosuppressed and less likely to mount effective immune responses to vaccination. In this educational symposium based on a live event, a panel of expert faculty address the identification of transplant patients who would likely derive benefit from anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) and strategies that can be used to overcome barriers to COVID-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis access. In addition, they provide guidance on mAb qualities and clinical profiles and shared decision-making strategies to customize mAb pre-exposure prophylaxis at the point of care for transplant recipients needing protection against COVID-19. After participating in this activity, the learner will demonstrate the ability to: Identify post-transplant patients who would likely derive benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis with anti-SARS-CoV-2 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs); Use strategies to overcome barriers to COVID-19 pre-exposure prophylaxis access for post-transplant patients; and Incorporate evidence-based recommendations and guidelines, mAb qualities and clinical profiles, and shared decision-making into strategies to customize mAb pre-exposure prophylaxis at point of care for post-transplant patients needing protection against COVID-19.
