Despite improved antiretroviral regimens, virological failure and the emergence of drug resistance remains an ongoing challenge throughout Europe. This includes both patients who recently contracted the virus as well as veterans of older regimens. Although the resources, diagnostics, and soon drugs, required for the improved care of complex patients are now available in many parts of Europe, there remains a knowledge gap in how to best use them. Acquiring and interpreting resistance data correctly, incorporating co-morbidities and co-medications data, and then deciding on the optimal next regimen for patients with limited treatment options requires a high level of expertise. Managing these complex HIV patients requires greater knowledge and understanding in terms of adherence, resistance, aging, comorbidities, and polypharmacy.
This webinar has been designed for HIV physicians who would like to improve their knowledge of identifying and managing patients with limited treatment options, as well as new antiretroviral drugs for optimizing the treatment of these patients.
