Epidemiology and Spread of HIV
Module Description
The Core Curriculum is developed out of the Academy's Fundamentals of HIV Medicine textbook and is an ideal way to learn the basics of HIV prevention, care and treatment or to gain a quick update on specific topics in HIV care. While the number of newly diagnosed HIV cases is declining in many countries, the number of people with HIV continues to increase, largely due to improved access to antiretroviral medications.
