Audience: Clinicians and other eligible healthcare professionals preparing for the AAHIVP HIV credential exam, including providers who deliver or support ambulatory HIV prevention and longitudinal HIV care within their licensed scope of practice and want an exam-focused review of contemporary HIV medicine principles.
Goals:
- By the end of this course, learners will be able to:
- Explain the published AAHIVP exam framework, competency areas, and any stated content emphases; if detailed weighting is not publicly specified, organize study by core HIV prevention, diagnosis, treatment, monitoring, coinfection, and patient-centered ambulatory care domains with explicit mapping and gap flags.
- Master high-yield HIV medicine concepts relevant to exam performance, including screening and diagnostic algorithms, acute and chronic HIV evaluation, antiretroviral therapy principles, PrEP/PEP, laboratory interpretation, adherence counseling, adverse effects, drug-drug interactions, prevention of transmission, and common coinfection/opportunistic infection prevention concepts.
- Apply contemporary guideline-based reasoning to realistic ambulatory HIV scenarios within the candidate role: identify the task → extract key facts → select the governing rule or guideline principle → execute the best next step → verify safety, scope, and follow-up.
- Interpret common HIV-related data accurately, including HIV testing patterns, viral load trends, CD4 implications, baseline and monitoring labs, resistance concepts at a principles level, renal/hepatic considerations, vaccination implications, and regimen-limiting comorbidities.
- Distinguish common distractors and boundary cases frequently tested in HIV care, such as acute HIV versus false reassurance from early testing, prevention choice mismatches, regimen selection pitfalls, interaction traps, adherence confounders, pregnancy/perinatal considerations, and when escalation, referral, or urgent evaluation is required.
- Use concise retrieval tools—tables, checklists, algorithms, and spaced review summaries—to retain discriminating facts for prevention, diagnosis, ART selection principles, follow-up, and counseling.
- Demonstrate readiness through self-checks and mini-assessments mapped to the exam framework or, if the framework is broad, to explicit teachable subskills tagged consistently as DOMAIN: Objective → Subskill.
- Coverage & Blueprint Mapping Requirements:
- Every chapter/section/subsection/topic must map to at least one AAHIVP-relevant domain, competency, or explicit subskill tag.
- When the official blueprint language is limited or broad, translate it into learner-facing subskills such as HIV Prevention → PrEP candidacy assessment, HIV Diagnosis → acute infection test interpretation, HIV Treatment → initial ART selection constraints, Monitoring → virologic response interpretation, and Patient-Centered Care → stigma-aware counseling and confidentiality.
- Ensure complete coverage across prevention, screening/diagnosis, initial evaluation, ART concepts, longitudinal monitoring, adverse effects/interactions, coinfections/OI prevention, reproductive/perinatal considerations at an ambulatory level, and interprofessional care coordination.
- Stay within the candidate role: ambulatory HIV prevention and longitudinal care within licensure and collaborative practice limits. If a scenario exceeds scope or depends on local policy, present the safest exam-aligned action as recognition, stabilization/counseling as appropriate, and consultation, referral, urgent evaluation, or emergency transfer.
- Do not invent unsupported blueprint details, rare rescue therapies, or institution-specific rules. When guidance varies by formulary, jurisdiction, or local protocol, state learner-safe uncertainty guidance such as: "Local protocols vary; confirm with your institution."
