Optimizing statin prescriptions for people living with HIV: Evidence for improved communication and shared care between primary care and specialist <scp>HIV</scp> services
Our results indicate that GPs can engage people living with HIV in cardiovascular risk reduction measures but may not consider HIV a cardiovascular risk. Written communication alone is insufficient to improve safe patient care. Shared HIV care needs bidirectional shared medical records. Ongoing work needs to ensure that HIV is recognized as an independent cardiovascular risk factor.
