David Alain Wohl, MD

In response to the HIV pandemic, Dr. Wohl has focused his career on optimizing the treatment of HIV infection, including identifying the most effective therapeutic approaches and minimizing the adverse effects of therapy. Cognizant that HIV disproportionately affects the most vulnerable, he has worked to improve HIV care and prevention for often marginalized individuals such as the incarcerated, men who have sex with men, and those living in poverty.

Dr. Wohl is active within the U.S. AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) and HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN), and served two terms as a member of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines and was recently invited to serve on the DHHS Panel on Opportunistic Infection Guidelines.

As part of the response to the 2013-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Dr. Wohl led UNC clinical research efforts to test interventions for Ebola Virus Disease in Liberia and now is a principal investigator of a clinical cohort that longitudinally follows Ebola survivors, as well as a study to determine the natural history of Lassa fever.

In addition to his research and administrative activities, Dr. Wohl maintains a large HIV continuity clinic at UNC.

Sorana Segal-Maurer, MD is Director of Infectious Diseases at NewYork-Presbyterian Queens in Flushing, NY and Professor of Clinical Medicine at Weill Cornell Medicine in New York, NY. She has published extensively, as author of peer-reviewed articles on HIV treatment adherence, diagnosis, and treatment of metabolic and morphologic changes in HIV infected patients, and is an author of the section, “Nutritional Metabolism and Support in the Setting of HIV Infection“, in the Adult Nutrition Support Core Curriculum textbook. She is actively involved in HIV research, serving as principal investigator or co-investigator in phase II, III, IV clinical trials as well as investigator-initiated trials. Currently, she is the lead author on the 2022 NEJM publication of the CAPELLA trial where the use of lenacapavir was evaluated in a cohort of heavily treated persons living with HIV. She has been in clinical practice for nearly 30 years.

Dr. Segal-Maurer is board-certified in infectious diseases and is a Diplomate of the American Board of Medical Examiners.

Statement of Need

The use of antiretroviral (ARV) medication therapies has led to successful treatment for many patients with HIV. However, antiretroviral therapy (ART) resistance and medication adherence problems can reduce the chances of treatment success.1,2 Health care professionals (HCPs) need up-to-date education on the causes of ART resistance and non-adherence for patients who are treatment-experienced, as well as the treatment alternatives available including new ARV therapies with varying mechanisms of delivery (e.g., oral vs. injections). With this education, HCPs will be better prepared to treat patients with HIV who are treatment-experienced, reducing or mitigating the problems of ART treatment resistance and medication non-adherence.

In this CMEOCast podcast, expert faculty will present the latest information on the causes of ART resistance and medication non-adherence in patients with HIV and discuss the latest medication therapies that may prevent or counter treatment resistance and non-adherence, especially in patients who are treatment-experienced.

Learning Objectives

At the end of this CME/CE activity, participants should be able to:

  • Identify the etiology of ARV treatment resistance to improve HCPs’ competence in assessing and managing HIV in individuals who are heavily treatment experienced.
  • Apply efficacy and safety data for current and new ARV treatments that minimize risk of treatment resistance in treatment-experienced patients with HIV.
  • Evaluate efficacy and safety data for new and emerging long-acting oral and injectable ART regimens for heavily treatment-experienced people with HIV, including individuals with ARV resistance.
