Available for 1.50 hours of CPE creditActivity Number: 0217-0000-26-162-L02-PActivity Type: A Knowledge-Based ActivityWith advances in HIV antiretroviral therapy (ART), the focus of clinical decision-making for HIV management is shifting to an enhanced focus on co-morbidities and mitigating the long-term effects of ART and vice versa. Similarly, the population of people living with HIV is aging rapidly and the need for comprehensive care for cardiovascular disease treatment and prevention is critical. This session will explore strategies for integrating and strengthening HIV care in primary care settings and special populations, discuss literature and studies exploring cardiometabolic disease risk, treatment, and prevention in people living with HIV, and examine the impacts of polypharmacy within HIV care.
Learning Objectives1. Describe risk factors for cardiovascular disease that are common among people living with HIV.
2. Identify appropriate pharmacological strategies for reducing the risk of cardiometabolic disease in people living with HIV.
3. Describe key pharmacotherapeutic considerations for special populations, including pediatrics, adolescents, and geriatrics.
4. Identify key strategies to integrate and enhance engagement of HIV care within general primary care settings.
5. Recognize practice considerations for the treatment and prevention of HIV in peripartum and maternal care.
