What Will You Cover in This Module?

People living with HIV (PLWHIV) are at an increased risk of metabolic complications due to chronic infection, persistent inflammation, concomitant conditions, or antiretroviral treatment. This module provides an expert-led review of metabolic health in PLWHIV, etiology of complications, approaches to monitor, and interventions to reduce the risk of such complications.

This self-paced e-learning program explores the critical role of metabolic health in the long-term care of people living with HIV (PLWHIV). Through expert-led modules, it examines key challenges and strategies to improve outcomes, with a particular focus on the impact of visceral fat accumulation. Participants will learn about its pathological consequences, diagnostic complexities, and available treatment options, while also gaining practical insights into the prevalence of metabolic complications and the use of clinical and laboratory assessments. Designed to be both informative and actionable, the program equips clinicians with the knowledge and tools to take the next step in advancing metabolic health for PLWHIV.
