Addressing Comorbidities in People Living with HIV and Strategies to Manage Them

In this issue:

In this issue of eHIV Review, Maile Young Karris, MD, Associate Professor of Medicine and Co-Director of the San Diego Center for AIDS Research Clinical Investigations Core at the University of California San Diego, discusses the burden of comorbidities in older people living with HIV and current guideline recommendations for managing them. The comorbidities with high prevalence in people living with HIV addressed in this issue include cardiovascular disease, osteopenia and osteoporosis in the context of menopause, metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease, and human papillomavirus-associated anal cancer. Clinicians need greater awareness of the disparate burden of these comorbidities in people living with HIV and evidence-based strategies to manage them to best serve this patient population.

Learning objective:

Evaluate strategies to mitigate effects of comorbidities in older people living with HIV.
