This course will cover Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) effectiveness in preventing HIV infection when taken as prescribed. PrEP is recommended for individuals at high risk of HIV, and it involves taking antiretroviral medications regularly to reduce the risk of HIV transmission. Discover the importance of healthcare providers accessing individuals' risk factors to determine if PrEP is appropriate for them.  PrEP is highly effective when taken consistently. The two main medications approved for PrEP are Truvada (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine) and Descovy (tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine). Both medications have been shown to significantly reduce the risk of HIV transmission when taken as directed.

This course will focus on interpreting laboratory results related to Hepatitis B and Hepatitis C, and then using that information to make informed decisions about antiviral therapy for patients.  The approach may vary depending on guidelines, the specific patient's condition, and the available medications.  In both HBV and HCV cases, individualized patient assessment is essential to select the most appropriate antiviral therapy. Treatment response is monitored through serial lab tests, and adjustments may be made as necessary. Close collaboration with a hepatologist or infectious disease specialist is recommended for managing these chronic viral hepatitis infections. Treatment guidelines may evolve, so consulting the most recent guidelines is crucial.
