A Nurse-led Intervention to Extend the HIV Treatment Cascade for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention
Completed · Not applicable
Conditions studied: HIV/AIDS, Hypertension, Hyperlipidemias
In brief
Strategies to improve uptake of cardiovascular disease preventive therapies among people living with HIV (PLHIV) are urgently needed. This study tests an innovative prevention nurse intervention to extend the HIV/AIDS treatment cascade for the treatment of hypertension and hyperlipidemia among PLHIV on suppressive antiretroviral therapy. This intervention may be scalable as an extension of ongoing HIV/AIDS treatment cascade initiatives in HIV specialty clinics nationwide.
