By the end of the module, the learner will be able to:

1. Identify common cardiovascular disease risk factors among people with HIV (PWH)

2. Apply risk prediction tools to estimate cardiovascular risk in a patient.

3. Develop and explain recommendations to optimize a patient’s cardiovascular health using an interprofessional team-based approach

4. Identify drug-drug interactions between Antiretroviral Therapy and pharmacologic agents used to prevent and treat cardio-metabolic conditions

5. Recognize the negative impact of CVD on long-term outcomes of PWH

6. Appreciate other non-communicable diseases experienced by PWH.
