| Abstract: |
Approximately one third of patients coinfected with HIV and hepatitis Cvirus (HCV) who initiate direct-acting antivirals (DAAs) for HCV treatment may have to switch antiretroviral therapy (ART) because of drug interactions. ART switches can negatively affect quality of life, increase HIV symptom burden, and delay HCV therapy. Approaches to identify ART/DAA drug interactions that minimize the impact of switching ART are urgently needed. Nurses can lead the way in addressing this new and major need. We provide a guide for registered nurses and nurse practitioners who care for patients coinfected with HIV and HCV to identify HIV/HCV drug interactions and manage ART/DAA coadministration when needed.
