ART Safety Considerations in Aging Patients With HIV

In this episode, hear Marta Boffito, MD, PhD, FRCP, and Julian Falutz, MD, FRCPC, discuss their approach to minimizing antiretroviral (ARV)-related intolerances in older patients with HIV, including:

• Consequences of polypharmacy
• Deprescribing ARV and non-ARV medications
• Complications associated with aging (eg, geriatric syndromes such as falls, frailty, multimorbidity)
• Mediations to avoid, such as anticholinergic medications, to minimize drug–drug interactions and risk of developing geriatric syndromes
