An Aging HIV+ Population:  The Urgent Need (and Opportunities) for HIV-trained Pharmacists - Ep 176

In this episode, Stuart Haines and Jennifer Cocohoba discussed the "unmet needs" of HIV care with Radhika Polisetty and Kristy Shaeer, the lead authors of the HIV PRN Opinion paper published in JACCP. The success of antiretroviral therapy has led to an aging HIV population with multiple comorbidities and complex medication regimens. The guests outline a vision for a tiered competency-based education and training system and emphasize the pharmacist's vital role in education, research, and health policy. This episode serves as a powerful call for advocacy to ensure sustainable, pharmacist-provided HIV care and expanded access to therapies, like PrEP and injectable antiretrovirals.
