Abstract:HIV treatment guidelines recommend that HIV patients initiate first-line antiretroviral therapy (ART) with one of four "preferred" regimens: efavirenz/tenofovir/emtricitabine (EFV/TDF/FTC), ritonavir-boosted atazanavir + tenofovir/emtricitabine (ATV/r+TDF/FTC), ritonavir-boosted darunavir + tenofovir/emtricitabine (DRV/r+TDF/FTC), or raltegravir + tenofovir/emtricitabine (RAL+TDF/FTC). Adherence is critical to the success of ART in suppressing viral load and avoiding virological failure and development of drug… Show more

“…particularly among older adults and highlight significant disparities in immunization coverage according to race and socioeconomic status. 4 Because there remains a large burden of PD in the United States, with immunization rates being suboptimal, especially among older adults, new models of care designed to improve vaccine education are needed. The senior center model of care (SCMC) uses a community senior center as the focal point of access to an older adult population and can provide access to some preventive health services through a facility the population already attends.…”
PPPP significantly improved PD and PV knowledge. It could be delivered more efficiently by holding larger events on fewer dates, staffing with volunteers where appropriate, and utilizing a local pharmacy to manage the vaccine supply.
