Activity Description

HIV prophylaxis is divided into two categories: post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). PEP is the administration of antiretroviral therapy to an HIV-negative person who may expose to HIV. Exposure can be occupational (oPEP) or non-occupational (nPEP), with non-occupational exposure being related to sexual or intravenous (IV) drug exposures. PrEP is the use of antiretroviral drugs in a high-risk, HIV-negative patient, to prevent future HIV infections. This activity reviews the evaluation of HIV prophylaxis and discusses the role of the interprofessional team in educating patients on the options available. This activity reviews the evaluation and treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms and highlights the role of the interprofessional team in evaluating and treating this condition.
