Advances in Pediatric HIV: Antiretroviral
Innovations and Clinical Implications
This symposium will educate nurses and NPs who treat patients with HIV/AIDS on updated treatment
strategies for children infected with HIV. The session will present the latest clinical-trial data and updated
evidence-based recommendations, and will include case study discussions.
HIV/AIDS nurses are most often the healthcare professionals counseling parents and caregivers who are so
integral to the care of children. To be able to provide and monitor effective ARV therapy, these clinicians
must remain current on the most recent evidence-based guidelines; clinical-trial data on new agents and
formulations and implications of these data for care; and strategies that foster patient adherence and improve
overall nursing care for these young patients. This satellite will discuss these important documents to
improve learner knowledge, competence, and practice that are translatable to better patient outcomes.
