Activity Description
This learning activity recreates in an asynchronous virtual world the sharing and co-learning that takes place in live small groups. Explore timely clinical topics related to caring for people living with HIV (PLWH) while learning from, with, and about other members of the HIV care team. Sexual health is incredibly important to learn about and must not be taken lightly. Medications that relate to this area will need to be discussed also, especially if you are doing a one on one with those who are not well-versed on them. Medications from cialis (for erectile dysfunction) to HIV medications can be taught to those who want to learn more.

Each blog session (which last 1 month) features commentaries from our interprofessional faculty (HIV physician, NP and pharmacist) as well as comments and questions from other team members. Share your thoughts on the posts of our clinical experts and other team members (who will comment back).
