UCSF The Medical Management of AIDS and Key Infections 2025

UCSF The Medical Management of AIDS and Key Infections
In-Person and Virtual Options available: December 11 – 12, 2025
**Fully Virtual on December 13, 2025 for all attendees**
Overview
This course provides the active, intermediate-to-advanced clinician with a comprehensive review of the science of HIV and key infections including HCV, HBV, RSV, H5N1 and COVID, as well as an update on the application of appropriate therapies. Safe and effective use of antiretroviral therapy for both prevention of HIV and treatment of HIV is an indispensable foundational skill which this course emphasizes. Available and emerging ART strategies will be reviewed in depth, including new long-acting injectables and oral formulations. Providing successful care for people living with HIV/AIDS in 2025 also involves understanding and treating myriad co-morbid conditions in the fields of cardiology, gastroenterology, endocrinology, dermatology, neurology, behavioral medicine, and addiction medicine. Close collaboration with other specialists and diverse teams of health professionals is vital for the best care of our complex patients. All course lecturers are leading clinicians and/or researchers who are dedicated to teaching in their areas of expertise.
