    Abstract Background: Recent studies suggest that statins are underprescribed in patients living with HIV (PLWH) at risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), but none have assessed if eligible patients receive the correct statin and intensity compared to uninfected controls.
    Objectives: The primary objective was to determine whether statin-eligible PLWH are less likely to receive appropriate statin therapy compared to patients without HIV.
    Methods: This retrospective study evaluated statin eligibility and prescribing among patients in both an HIV and internal medicine clinic at an urban, academic medical center from June-September 2018 using the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guideline on treating blood cholesterol to reduce ASCVD risk. Patients were assessed for eligibility and actual treatment with appropriate statin therapy. Characteristics of patients appropriately and not appropriately treated were compared with chi-square testing and predictors for receiving appropriate statin therapy were determined with logistic regression.
    Results: A total of 221/300 study subjects were statin-eligible. Fewer statin-eligible PLWH were receiving the correct statin intensity for their risk benefit group versus the uninfected control group (30.2% vs 67.0%, p < 0.001). In the multivariable logistic regression analysis, PLWH were significantly less likely to receive appropriate statin therapy, while those with polypharmacy were more likely to receive appropriate statin therapy.
    Conclusion: Our study reveals that PLWH may be at a disadvantage in receiving appropriate statin therapy for ASCVD risk reduction. This is important given the heightened risk for ASCVD in this population, and strategies that address this gap in care should be explored.

    Abstract Objective: Switching from tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)- to tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)-containing antiretroviral therapy may negatively influence weight, cholesterol, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk. The extent of these changes and their association with TAF remain unclear.
    Methods: This retrospective cohort evaluated metabolic changes in virologically suppressed patients with HIV infection who switched from TDF to TAF without switching other antiretroviral therapy medications. Adult patients on TDF and with no HIV viral load values >200 copies/mL for ≥2 years prior to and following a TAF switch were included. Weight and other variables were collected for 2 years before and after the switch. Longitudinal linear mixed-effects models evaluated changes at 1 and 2 years after the switch.
    Results: In the unadjusted analysis, there were increases in weight, BMI, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, fasting glucose, and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk scores 2 years after switching to TAF (each p ≤ 0.03). However, only increases in total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were associated with TAF and were significantly different from expected changes predicted in the adjusted longitudinal models.
    Conclusions: Despite observing significant unadjusted metabolic changes after switching to TAF, only changes in cholesterol were associated with TAF and were different from changes expected in time-trend adjusted models.

    Abstract Objective: To develop, implement, and evaluate team-based root cause analysis projects as part of a required medication safety course for second-year pharmacy students.
    Design: Lectures, in-class activities, and out-of-class reading assignments were used to develop students' medication safety skills and introduce them to the culture of medication safety. Students applied these skills within teams by evaluating cases of medication errors using root cause analyses. Teams also developed error prevention strategies and formally presented their findings.
    Assessment: Student performance was assessed using a medication errors evaluation rubric. Of the 211 students who completed the course, the majority performed well on root cause analysis assignments and rated them favorably on course evaluations.
    Conclusion: Medication error evaluation and prevention was successfully introduced in a medication safety course using team-based root cause analysis projects.

    Abstract Rilpivirine (RPV) is a second-generation non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI). It remains active against HIV strains harbouring mutations that affect first-generation agents. RPV is dosed once daily with food and has been coformulated into a single tablet containing tenofovir and emtricitabine. Two Phase III studies of treatment-naive patients found RPV and efavirenz to have similar safety and efficacy. However, suboptimal virological suppression with RPV occurred more commonly in patients with higher baseline viral loads (>100,000 copies/ml). The most common mutation that emerged during RPV therapy was E138K, which often occurred in combination with M184I. E138K is likely to cause cross-resistance to other NNRTIs thereby limiting the further utilization of this class.

    Abstract Background: Switching antiretroviral therapy (ART) in people with HIV (PWH) can influence their risk for drug-drug interactions (DDIs). The purpose of this study was to assess changes in the incidence and severity of DDIs among PWH who switched their ART to bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (BIC/FTC/TAF).
    Methods: This was a multicenter retrospective cohort study of PWH on ART and at least 1 concomitant medication (CM) who switched to BIC/FTC/TAF between 3/2018 and 6/2019. Using the University of Liverpool's HIV Drug Interaction Database, 2 DDI analyses were performed for each patient. The first assessed patients' preswitch ART regimens with their CM list. The second assessed the same CM list with BIC/FTC/TAF. Each ART-CM combination was given a score of 0 (no or potential weak interaction), 1 (potential interaction), or 2 (contraindicated interaction). A paired
    Results: Among 411 patients, 236 (57%) had at least 1 DDI present at baseline. On average, baseline DDI scores (SD) were 1.4 (1.8) and decreased by 1 point (95% CI, -1.1 to -0.8) after patients switched to BIC/FTC/TAF (
    Conclusions: Treatment-experienced PWH eligible to switch their ART may experience significant declines in number and severity of DDIs if switched to BIC/FTC/TAF.
