HIV & AIDS

Course overview

The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) have undergone significant research and there have been recent improvements in disease outcomes and morbidity. Although it remains a chronic condition without a cure, new treatment guidelines and antiretroviral drugs have provided hope for individuals infected with HIV to live longer. Continuing education for health professionals caring for men, women and children with HIV/AIDS helps to dispel myths and reduce stigma, enhance a fuller understanding of best practice trends, and improve prevention strategies to avoid transmission of the disease and complications associated with disease progression and/or treatment.
