HIV PRN Focus Session — Beyond the ART: Strategies to Enhance HIV Care in Primary Care Settings

With 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.​
