Management of HIV/AIDS Infection

Zero Viral Load - Management of HIV/AIDS Infection

The Zero Viral Load — Management of HIV/AIDS Infection course shares the successful strategy implemented in the outpatient clinic that treats people with HIV in the dermatology department of HCFMUSP.

The outpatient clinic began in the mid-80s, at the initiative of Professor Doutor Alberto Duarte, when he received the first cases of HIV in the country. Currently, the unit is coordinated by Professor Jorge Casseb, infectious disease doctor and associate professor in the Department of Dermatology at FMUSP

.

Taught by a multidisciplinary team with 30 years of clinical experience, the course provides students with basic knowledge about the virus, epidemiology, diagnosis, in addition to the acquisition of practical management in the various clinical aspects related to HIV/AIDS infection. All of this to provide the best outpatient, emergency and infirmary care.

Currently, 500 people living with HIV (PVHIV) are under regular follow-up. Of this total, 98.5% have an undetectable viral load
