Needs Statement

According to the CDC 36,136 people received an HIV diagnosis in the United States and dependent areas in 2021. The annual number of new diagnoses decreased 7% from 2017 to 2021. It is critical for professionals to have current knowledge to provide effective treatment and education for patients. The CDC also states that Kentucky is at high risk for an HIV outbreak if introduced into the drug using population. HIV therapy was previously limited due to lack of treatment options, but more therapy options increase choice for patient treatment and challenges for providers. Screening for drug misuse is critical to the prevention of or early intervention in addiction. 

As of January 4, 2010, a diagnosis of HIV infection will not render a person traveling into the United States as inadmissible under Section 212(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). Thus, HIV-positive travelers seeking entry to the United States no longer need a waiver of inadmissibility to travel to the United States. Beginning Jan. 4, 2010, the civil surgeon, or panel physician should no longer test an individual for HIV during a foreign national’s medical examination.

Target Audience

Physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, nurses, pharmacists, dentists, social workers, health educators and therapists who currently provide or could provide care services to persons living with HIV/AIDS or Hepatitis C.

Objectives

Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
1. Describe how the illicit drug market is serving as a social determinant of health with the capacity to influence individual drug preferences, consumption patterns, and health outcomes
2. Dicuss the pharmacologic effects associated with a changing drug supply and its impact on consumers' drug use behavior, and adverse health outcomes (e.g., infectious disease)
3. Discover how harm reduction organizations and people who use drugs are responding to rapidly changing drug markets and helping consumers more safely navigate an increasingly toxic drug supply
