Rachael Pellegrino, MD, MPH

Learning Objectives: 

• Recommend and interpret HIV testing in accordance with CDC and USPSTF guidelines.
• Show how to conduct the initial assessment of a person newly diagnosed with HIV and initiate appropriate antiretroviral therapy according to the individual’s clinical presentation and preference.
• Recommend and prescribe HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) as part of primary care based on CDC and USPSTF recommendations.

Dr. Pellegrino will discuss the use of 2-1-1 dosing of oral PrEP (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) for HIV is not FDA approved, but this method of PrEP dosing is included in the CDC PrEP guidelines is important to note. I have clearly identified in the slide that this is not FDA approved but is a part of the CDC PrEP guidelines.
