AUSTIN, Texas, Feb. 14, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Integritas Communications is excited to present an online CME activity about preventing HIV at university communities across the United States. This activity is intended for student healthcare providers (MDs, Dos, NPs, PAs, nurses), social workers, counselors, peer educators, and other community stakeholders engaged in the care of patients with HIV in a college or university health center setting.

PrEP UTM: HIV-Prevention Education for University Student Health Centers is a comprehensive professional and lay-leadership training program to help meet the health needs of university communities. The project seeks to help participants understand the changing landscape of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the southeast, particularly among the university community, and implement comprehensive HIV-prevention strategies. Topics to be covered include: HIV epidemiology and risk, overcoming stigma and social barriers, screening and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), and strategies and resources for implementing an educational and awareness campaign to prevent HIV infection and increase the use of PrEP on university campuses. The faculty members for the online CME activity are Stacy Smallwood, PhD, MPH, Dr. David Malebranche and Damon Johnson, Jr.

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be better able to:

  • Demonstrate knowledge of key epidemiologic data on HIV incidence and burden in the Southern United States;
  • Determine patients' PrEP eligibility through HIV testing, sexual-history taking, and appropriate laboratory testing;
  • Describe evidence-based HIV PrEP principles and guideline-driven practices with regard to initiating treatment and on-treatment monitoring;
  • Implement Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommendations for comprehensive HIV prevention for at-risk candidates; and
  • Engage healthcare providers, administrators, students, and/or other pertinent community or campus stakeholders in the implementation of campus-specific, comprehensive HIV-prevention strategies.
