Psychopharmacology with HIV / AIDS
Prescribing a psychotropic in HIV means prescribing into a moving target — boosters that raise your drug, inducers that strip it, and syndromes where the antiretroviral, an opportunistic infection, or the virus itself wears a psychiatric mask. This course turns that complexity into fast, point-of-care decisions: a framework, every drug class, the full interaction engine, and the five syndromes that matter — each built for the clinician who needs the right call in the room, now.
