Cardiovascular disease, medication regimens and HIV in pregnancy: new research relevant to nurses

Abstract

People living with HIV have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) compared with the general population due to a combination of traditional risk factors.

The 31st Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2024) was held in Denver, Colorado over 3–6 March 2024 (https://www.croiconference.org/croi-2024-resources). The CROI conference is a forum for both basic scientists and clinical investigators to present their research findings in HIV, hepatitis, SARS-CoV-2, mpox and other viral infections and their related conditions. The conference had a mixture of plenary sessions, oral abstract presentations, themed discussions, interactive symposia, and poster presentations. Out of a total of 1902 submitted abstracts, 1067 were selected for presentation.

The author attended CROI as part of a team presenting research results from DolPHIN-2, a trial evaluating the safety and efficacy of dolutegravir when initiated in late pregnancy (Malaba et al, 2022), and results from the AGILE clinical trial platform, an early phase clinical trial platform for the treatment of COVID-19 (Griffiths et al, 2020). This report summarises findings from the conference sessions attended.
