Impact of HIV and Its Treatment on Weight and Body Habitus
Workshop DescriptionAcademy credentialed providers, clinicians, members, and guest participants will explore the evolving challenges of HIV-associated weight and body composition changes, a concern since the introduction of antiretroviral therapy in the mid-1990s. Metabolic syndromes, including insulin resistance, diabetes mellitus, and dyslipidemia, have been significant issues for individuals with HIV. This webinar and workshop series will address these emerging health concerns, focusing on how healthcare professionals can effectively identify and manage unintended weight and body composition changes in people with HIV. Interactive sessions will offer practical insights and strategies to help healthcare providers, support staff, and individuals with HIV to enhance care and improve health outcomes in this population.

Learning Objectives
- Discuss the evolution of weight and body habitus-related comorbidities, such as HIV-associated wasting, loss of lean muscle mass and weight and adipose tissue gain, over time, including the impact on morbidity and mortality.
- Describe the recent studies evaluating the management of HIV-associated weight and body habitus changes.
- Discuss the evolving role of antiretroviral agents when evaluating weight-suppressing, weight-neutral and weight-promoting agents among people with HIV.
- Incorporate into clinical practice both pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions to manage weight and body habitus changes, taking into consideration the accompanying changes in body composition.
