Abstract

There has been an evolution in the care and survival of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLWH) and AIDS. Increased survival of PLWH is attributed to antiretroviral therapy. However, adverse effects of antiretroviral therapy increase the likelihood that PLWH may also be diagnosed with chronic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. Drug-drug interactions are common when coadministering human immunodeficiency virus drugs and therapies for common chronic conditions managed in primary care. To prevent adverse events, nurse practitioners should know about these interactions before prescribing new regimens or modifying a regimen.
