Activity Description
Over half of the persons living with HIV in the United States are over the age of 50 and it is projected that within a few years that number will grow to over 60%. Many front-line providers are unequipped with the clinical skills to care for this aging cohort who, in addition to HIV, have other comorbidities associated with aging.

Using case studies and didactics, this free interactive CME/CNE-Certified webinar will provide members of the care team with tools and resources which have a geriatric focus that will help them to provide better management for this group.


Learning Objectives
After participating in the activity, learners should be better able to

  • Describe potential complications associated with long-term HIV infection
  • Identify drug interactions between antiretroviral drugs and other drugs commonly used by older patients
  • Implement team-based strategies for helping older individuals with HIV stay healthy and remain engaged in HIV care.
