Statins utilization in adults with HIV: the treatment gap and predictors of statin initiation.
The purpose of this study was to describe trends in statin eligibility and subsequent statin initiation among people with HIV (PWH) from and identify the predictors of statin initiation. The researchers collected data from 12 United States cohorts between 2001 and 2017. The study found that among 16,409 PWH, 45% met statin eligibility criteria per guidelines for the time period from 2001 to 2017. Statin eligibility ranged from 22% to 25% from 2001 to 2013, and initiation increased from 13% to 45%. In 2014, 51% were statin-eligible, among whom 25% initiated statins, which increased to 32% by 2017. The researchers concluded that there is a substantial statin treatment gap, expanded by the 2013 ACC/AHA guidelines.

Toward safer opioid prescribing: effects of the TOWER intervention on HIV care providers.
A study evaluated the TOWard SafER Opioid Prescribing intervention's impact on HIV primary care providers' opioid prescribing practices. The research involved eleven providers and forty patients, examining opioid-related communications during clinical visits. Analysis of twenty-one patient visits assessed alignment with CDC Opioid Prescribing Guidelines. The intervention group demonstrated enhanced guideline adherence, though control group visits also showed consistency with key recommendations in several areas.
