This CPE program is designed to provide a medical overview of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) and specifics to consider to appropriately and effectively implement the Nutrition Care Process (NCP). People with HIV and AIDS are living longer and are requiring more specialized nutrition attention during their lifespan. Having qualified and up-to-date dietetic practitioners’ familiar with the intricacies of providing optimal, evidence-based nutritional care to this medically complex population from early diagnosis to the late stages of the disease process is essential. You will gain expertise in areas requiring your involvement during the HIV disease process including:

  • HIV-related wasting, malnutrition, and gastrointestinal intolerances,
  • lipodystrophy, insulin resistance, and hyperlipidemia,
  • alterations in bone health and food safety, and
  • social-environmental factors impacting nutritional optimization.

Meets licensure requirements for Florida and other states that require it.

CUSTOMER COMMENTS

Dawn J. Walker - "I have a better understanding of the use of the antiretroviral therapy (ART). I will pay more attention to the side effects of ART from a nutritional point of view. Apart from poor appetite, wasting away, it is also important to look at some micronutrients."

INTRODUCTION AND OVERVIEW

With human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS) now classifying as a chronic illness and no longer an acute illness, people with HIV and AIDS are living longer and are requiring more specialized nutrition attention during their lifespan. The link between optimal nutrition and HIV disease progression is irrefutable. Unfortunately, there remains a high prevalence of impaired nutritional status in this population. Having qualified and up-to-date dietetic practitioners familiar with the intricacies of providing optimal, evidence-based nutritional care to this medically complex population from early diagnosis to the late stages of the disease process is essential. Common areas requiring involvement of a dietetic practitioner during the HIV disease process includes HIV-related wasting, malnutrition, gastrointestinal intolerances, lipodystrophy, insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, alterations in bone health, food safety, and social-environmental factors impacting nutritional optimization. This continuing professional education program is designed to provide a medical overview of the disease and specifics to consider to appropriately and effectively implement the Nutrition Care Process (NCP).
This program is a level 2 Continuing Professional Education (CPE) program approved for five (5) continuing professional education units (CPEUs). That means that the reader has general knowledge of the literature and professional practice in the area covered. The focus of the program is to enhance knowledge and application.
To get the most benefit from this program, we suggest you adhere to the following steps:
Step 1: Review the objectives for the CPE program.
Step 2: Study the program and as you read, think of how you can apply what is being discussed in your own area of practice.
Step 3: Assess what you have learned by answering the self-assessment questions and compare your answers to the answer key at the end of this program. Once you scored at least 80% correct go to our website https://www.easycpecredits.com to submit your Continuing Professional Education Reporting Form.

OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this accredited, self-directed learning program you should be able to:

  • Discuss prevalence of HIV and AIDS globally and within the United States.
  • Explain common comorbidities and opportunistic infections found commonly in the HIV and AIDS population.
  • Assess the complex relationship between nutritional status and HIV disease progression.
  • Apply appropriate, evidence-based medical nutrition therapy for the management and treatment of HIV-related complications including: wasting syndrome, gastrointestinal intolerances, lipodystrophy, and alterations in bone health.
  • Evaluate prevalent drug-nutrient interactions of common antiretroviral therapy medications and identify potentially harmful complementary and alternative medicine practices that may interfere with appropriate HIV disease control.
  • Assess areas of concern surrounding food safety for those with a compromised immune system.
  • Recognize the role of food insecurity in the potential progression of HIV.
  • Implement an interdisciplinary, nonjudgmental approach for providing optimal nutritional care to those with HIV and AIDS.
  • Apply the appropriate steps and individual components involved in the NCP for individuals with HIV or AIDS.
