Southeast AETC Regional Conference 2023 Banner
Join us August 30 – September 1 for the SE AETC’s 2023 Regional Conference! For two and a half days, we’ll offer the chance to increase your knowledge in the areas of HIV care and service implementation, and connect virtually with other care professionals around the region, while earning up to 13 CE credits for your participation. This event is free and open to all healthcare professionals.

Attend talks on the cutting edge of HIV care across three different educational tracks: Treatment Implementation, Advanced Topics, and Quality Improvement and Retention, presented to you by dynamic and experienced faculty and staff of the SE AETC’s partner sites and HIV experts across the country.

  • The Treatment Implementation track will build a clinical foundation for primary care providers and clinicians new to HIV through programs that discuss topics such as antiretroviral therapy, implementing HIV care, primary care, the initial evaluation, and more.
  • The Advanced track, including topics of current interest to the experienced HIV provider, will feature talks on CVD prevention, comorbidities, primary care for unstably-housed individuals, substance use disorder, weight management, and more.
  • The Quality Improvement and Retention track will cover mental health, care of LGBTQ+ patients and families, oral health, PEP, and more.

We encourage you to ask questions in the chatbox, explore and get familiar with the virtual conference platform, and take advantage of this time to connect with HIV experts. If you have a question after the presentation ends or want to chat about other topics around HIV care, a chat will open on each stage between presentations. Check out our website for additional training and technical assistance at seaetc.com.

On behalf of the SE AETC partners, we hope that you engage with the program, ask questions, and have a wonderful time at our virtual conference!
