Addressing Management Challenges in HIV with Comorbid Infections

In this issue:

People living with HIV (PLWH) face an increased risk of comorbid infections such as hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV), and tuberculosis (TB). Consequently, clinicians may be challenged in their ability to evaluate and implement optimal treatment regimens to manage PLWH with comorbid infections.

In this issue of eHIV Review, Sonya Krishnan, MD, MHS, Assistant Professor of Medicine at Johns Hopkins Medicine, and Zachary W. Lorenz, MD, Infectious Diseases Fellow at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, discuss ways to improve and optimize the management protocols for PLWH and comorbid infections according to current guidelines. Learners will expect to improve their awareness of the latest advancements in HCV, HBV, and TB treatments and how to incorporate these therapies appropriately in the overall management of HIV.

Learning objective:

Evaluate optimal regimens for patients living with HIV and other comorbid infections (eg, TB, hepatitis B).
