SUMMARY:Live Webinar - HIV and Infant Feeding: Navigating HIV and Infant Feeding Under the Updated HHS Guidelines
DESCRIPTION:Recent updates to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Perinatal HIV Clinical Guidelines reflect a meaningful shift in how infant feeding is discussed with families living with HIV. Rather than a directive approach\, the current guidance emphasizes shared decision-making in the context of sustained viral suppression and ongoing clinical support. For labor and delivery\, newborn\, and community nurses\, this change calls for thoughtful communication\, clear coordination\, and attention to stigma\, equity\, and trust. This program will explore the updated recommendations through real-world case studies and clinical examples\, highlighting relational nursing practice\, interdisciplinary collaboration\, and strategies to support families from birth through the first year of life. \nSpeaker: Emily Anne Barr\, PhD\, CNM\, CPNP-PC\, ACRN\, FACNM\, FAAN\, Associate Professor and Director of Translational Innovations in Maternal\, Child\, and Family Health\, University at Buffalo School of Nursing \nTarget Audience: Nurses\, physicians\, doulas\, community health workers\, and other perinatal healthcare professionals. \nLearning Outcome: At the conclusion of the program\, participants will self‑report increased knowledge of updated HHS perinatal HIV infant‑feeding guidance\, breastfeeding transmission risks with sustained viral suppression\, and nursing strategies that support safe feeding and shared decision‑making \nRegistration: Click here to register. \nSuccessful Completion: To receive contact hours for participating in the continuing education program\, the registrant must join the webinar\, attend the entire presentation\, and complete and submit an electronic evaluation.
