Combination antiretroviral therapy (ART) is highly successful in suppressing viral replication and preventing disease progression, however it cannot eradicate HIV-1 infection, and it does not accelerate the elimination of infected cells. HIV-1 persists in a latent state as integrated proviruses in resting memory CD4+ T cells that are not accessible to ART. Efforts to identify strategies to eradicate or induce treatment-free long-term HIV-1 remission are critical.
Broadly neutralizing antibodies (bNAbs) differ from ART in that they can recruit immune effector functions through their Fc domains to accelerate clearance of viruses and infected cells. In addition, immune complexes are potent immunogens that can foster development of host immune responses. Several bNAbs are undergoing clinical evaluation. We will discuss results from recent bNAb clinical studies and their potential role in strategies aiming to achieve long-term viral remission.

HIV risk is disproportionately high among incarcerated individuals, yet important gaps exist in the implementation of effective HIV services for preventing, testing for, and treating HIV. Studies of jail and prison populations have indicated substantial proportions of undetected infections, including Hepatitis C, and opioid use disorders.
The 14th HIV Care in the Correctional Setting Conference will offer critical and updated information to clinicians providing care in the correctional setting. Experts in the field of HIV medicine will present on the following topics: 2019 HIV/Hepatitis C Update, Primary Care, Aging and HIV and Medications for Opioid Use Disorder. The patient panel will share their experiences in receiving medication assisted treatment (MAT) in regional prisons.
This activity is sponsored by the Mountain West AIDS Education and Training Center and the University of Washington STD Prevention and Training Center. Both centers are federally funded regional programs.

The Mountain West AIDS Education and Training Center (MWAETC)
In 2015, the Northwest AETC and some of the Mountain Plains AETC states merged to form the Mountain West AIDS Education and Training Center. Through state based and regional programs, the new region now serves ten states: Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah and Wyoming. Our name has changed but our mission is the same: increase health care providers' capacity to provide high quality HIV/AIDS care within the region's health care systems by providing HIV treatment education, clinical consultation, capacity building, and technical assistance. Please check out our calendar pages for upcoming events and our training and resources page for your clinical or continuing education needs or just email or call one of the offices.
