Currently, 48% of people diagnosed with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) in the United States are age ≥ 50, and as the HIV-infected population ages it becomes increasingly important to identify comorbidities and consider them when optimizing treatment decisions, as they can involve risk of cardiovascular complications, renal disease, osteoporosis, and bone fracture.
In this CME Outfitters BriefCase, expert faculty will present a patient case focusing on the impact of comorbidities and how to individualize treatment regimens for aging patients with HIV, based on their specific needs and comorbidities.
At the end of this CE activity, participants should be able to:
- Individualize treatment regimens for aging patients with HIV, based on their specific needs and comorbidities.
The following learning objectives pertain only to those requesting CNE or CPE credit:
- Describe individualized treatment regimens for aging patients with HIV, based on their specific needs and comorbidities.
