At the completion of this educational session, learners will:
- Be aware of the increasing burden and complexity of multi-morbidity and polypharmacy in older HIV patients.
- Know about the basic mechanisms of drug-drug interactions and the inclusion of interaction data in the label.
- Appreciate the different interaction potential of antiretrovirals in our current guidelines and have a clear understanding of which interactions should always be on our radar!
- Have some understanding as to whether in the long acting era drug interactions will still be of concern!
