The UNMC Annual HIV Update for Providers and Educators returned on June 9, 2022. The conference was not hosted in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This year, the UNMC HIV team joined forces with the DHHS HIV PrEP Institute team to provide a day-long event focused on HIV TREATMENT and PREVENTION.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time, the conference was hosted as a hybrid event with approximately 60 attendees in person, and over 100 attendees registered in the interactive virtual forum. <\/p>\n\n\n

The morning was focused on What\u2019s New in HIV Care with a fantastic summary of up to date treatment recommendations and review of clinical trials, with honored presenter Dr. Susan Swindells. A \u201chot topics\u201d session covered STI Treatment Guidelines, Weight Gain on ART, and the intersection of COVID-19, HIV, and health disparities. The morning was rounded out with panel discussions related to team based approach to address psychosocial barriers to care, as well as long-acting ART.<\/p>\n\n\n

In the afternoon, we switched gears to focus on HIV prevention, particularly PrEP. The presenters highlighted PrEP in special populations including adolescents and Native Americans. We heard from a team that has initiated a new PrEP project to make this tool accessible to people across Nebraska, as well as a panel of patients familiar with PrEP. Finally, we heard about the importance of \u201cRebranding PrEP\u201d to increase interest and uptake across populations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We would like to acknowledge the teams that made this hybrid conference and continuing education possible: UNMC\/Nebraska Medicine, Nebraska AIDS Project, Omaha Childrens\u2019 Hospital, Ponca Tribe Heath Services, UNO, DHHS, Midwest AIDS Training and Education Center Kansas\/Nebraska, Washington University, KC Care Clinic, University of Cincinnati, St. Louis PTC, Entertainment LIVEstyle, and all of our speakers, moderators, panelists, organizers, vendors, and attendees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
