Expert faculty members review the role of integrase in HIV replication, clinical trials of integrase inhibitors, and the use of integrase inhibitors in patient management, followed by discussion of clinical cases.
Purpose
The purpose of this activity is to enable participants to utilize integrase inhibitors effectively in clinical practice by reviewing the rationale, clinical data, and practical management strategies related to their use.
Target Audience
This activity is intended for physicians, registered nurses, and other healthcare professionals involved in the care of HIV-infected patients.
Learning Objectives
- Recount the functions performed by integrase in the HIV life cycle
- Describe the results of clinical studies of integrase inhibitors in both treatment-experienced and treatment-naive patient populations
- Discuss the use of integrase inhibitors as part of practical strategies to regain virologic suppression in treatment-experienced patients
- Summarize strategies to simplify therapy in treatment-experienced patients who have achieved virologic suppression with complex antiretroviral regimens
