This virtual series was created in collaboration with the MidAtlantic AETC Ending the HIV Epidemic (EHE) Workgroup. This comprehensive webinar series aims to provide healthcare professionals with the latest strategies and tools to end the HIV epidemic. Each training session will focus on one of the four key strategies that make up the Ending the HIV Epidemic U.S. Initiative, which include: diagnosing all individuals with HIV as early as possible, treating HIV rapidly and effectively to achieve sustained viral suppression, preventing new HIV transmissions using proven interventions like PrEP, and responding quickly to potential HIV outbreaks to get needed prevention and treatment services to those who need them.
