New COVID-19 vaccine policy, proviral DNA testing, then the case of a woman with 10+ years viral suppression, CKD, and CVD, identified as a statin candidate after a significant cardiac event. With no family history of CVD, her risks included exposure to older ARVs and smoking 1 to 3 cigarettes/day. Listen as Drs. Scully and Hoffmann delve into non-infectious comorbidities associated with HIV, risk factors, and adjusted CVD risk calculation for women and African Americans.
