CPE
Jennifer Cocohoba, PharmD, AAHIVP
More than 40 years have passed since HIV first emerged as a threat to public health. Great strides have been made to ameliorate the devastating impact of HIV, but there were still 31,800 new infections in the United States in 2022, and geographic locations such as the South, or specific communities such as Black and Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) that remain deeply affected. For people who do acquire HIV, combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) reduces morbidity and mortality and allows HIV to be managed as a chronic disease. Effective ART that results in complete viral suppression also reduces subsequent transmissions, a concept known as “treatment as prevention” or TaSP. TaSP is an essential strategy, but it is only one component of a multi-pronged approach that must be employed to reduce the overall spread of HIV.
