Understanding MASH in HIV-Infected Individuals: A Guide for Patients and Advocates

Living with HIV comes with unique challenges, and understanding MASH (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis) is crucial for those affected. Join us on Thursday, August 15, 2024, from 10:00 am to 11:00 am EDT for an informative and interactive webinar featuring Dr. Meena Bansal, System Chief of the Division of Liver Diseases at Mount Sinai Health System and Director of the MASLD/MASH Center of Excellence at Mount Sinai in New York.

Recent research highlights the significant burden of MASH in people living with HIV, often resulting in severe liver fibrosis. Despite this, HIV is often overlooked in discussions about MASLD (metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease) and individuals with HIV are frequently excluded from clinical trials targeting MASH. 

In this webinar, Dr. Bansal will provide insights into how MASH impacts those living with HIV, its clinical significance, and what it means for your health. Our goal is to arm you with the knowledge to advocate for your care and engage in informed conversations with healthcare providers. 
We'll cover:
  • The link between HIV and MASH
  • How MASH impacts diagnosis and treatment of people living with HIV
  • The importance of early detection and patient advocacy 
Whether you're a patient or an advocate, this webinar is designed to help you navigate the complexities of liver health. The webinar will be limited to 100 people. REGISTER NOW to secure your spot and gain insights that could make a difference in your liver health journey:
