CEU Course Description

With that in mind, this course reviews the Federal Bureau of Prisons' (BOP) Clinical Guidance on Management of HIV Infection. Health care professionals should note that the treatment information included in the Clinical Guidance on Management of HIV Infection was updated to be in line with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ guidelines for the use of antiretroviral (ARV) agents.
