Pharmacists now have a new resource to help expand their HIV knowledge, guide their treatment, and provide comprehensive care. HIV Pharmacotherapy: The Pharmacist’s Role in in Care and Treatment by Jason J. Schafer, with Jennifer Cocohoba, Elizabeth Sherman, and Alice Tseng, is the first of its kind to provide pharmacists with a consolidated resource for offering care to patients with HIV infection, including diagnosis, primary care, pharmacological management of co-infections, and more.

This resource will help prepare pharmacists to take a lead role in the care and treatment of patients with HIV, and will be a valuable guide for students, residents, and clinical pharmacists to build expertise in tailoring antiretroviral regimens to maximize effectiveness and adherence and reduce drug interactions and side effects.

You’ll find:

• Expertise in tailoring antiretroviral regimens, including combination therapies, dealing with short-term and long-term side effects, and adherence challenges
• Essential disease state information to reduce collateral damage and minimize transmission risk
• Preparation for AAHIVP certification or clinical practice
• Contributions from more than 30 clinical pharmacy specialists in HIV medicine
• Guidance on pharmacological management of HIV, co-infections, and patient care for special populations with HIV
