In response to the HIV pandemic, Dr. Wohl has focused his career on optimizing the treatment of HIV infection, including identifying the most effective therapeutic approaches and minimizing the adverse effects of therapy. Cognizant that HIV disproportionately affects the most vulnerable, he has worked to improve HIV care and prevention for often marginalized individuals such as the incarcerated, men who have sex with men, and those living in poverty.

Dr. Wohl is active within the U.S. AIDS Clinical Trials Group (ACTG) and HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN), and served two terms as a member of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines and was recently invited to serve on the DHHS Panel on Opportunistic Infection Guidelines.

As part of the response to the 2013-2016 Ebola outbreak in West Africa, Dr. Wohl led UNC clinical research efforts to test interventions for Ebola Virus Disease in Liberia and now is a principal investigator of a clinical cohort that longitudinally follows Ebola survivors, as well as a study to determine the natural history of Lassa fever.

In addition to his research and administrative activities, Dr. Wohl maintains a large HIV continuity clinic at UNC.

Statement of Need

When making treatment decisions regarding PrEP, it is important that clinicians consider the long-term impact on bone health, lipids, and renal dysfunction. This includes the need for education on data comparing the safety and efficacy of emtricitabine and tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (F/TDF) and emtricitabine and tenofovir alafenamide (F/TAF) in order to facilitate data-driven decisions about PrEP.

This CME Outfitters webcast will feature expert faculty discussing clinical trial outcomes and how to apply them to treatment decision-making in order to improve clinical knowledge, confidence, and performance for utilizing PrEP.
