Program DescriptionThe Prevention IS Care CE Workshop, “Incorporating HIV Prevention into the Medical Care of Persons Living with HIV,” was originally hosted at the 2007 Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) Annual Meeting. This session was recorded in its entirety and is being made available online to allow healthcare professionals who did not attend the IDSA symposium session, the opportunity to learn more about Prevention IS Care and earn continuing education credits.Purpose
The Prevention IS Care CE Workshop, “Incorporating HIV Prevention into the Medical Care of Persons Living with HIV” was designed to translate scientific evidence into practical tools for providers to use with HIV-infected patients with the hopes of influencing the adoption of a new “standard” for routine care, helping physicians better work with patients in reducing risky transmission behaviors.
Goal

Although there is no specific formula on how to integrate these principles, suggested tools, structural interventions and aids will be demonstrated during the Prevention IS Care workshop.
