In this episode, Jill Blumenthal, MD, MAS, and William R. Short, MD, MPH, AAHIVS, address key considerations when evaluating ART safety and tolerability in pregnant people, those trying to conceive, and transgender individuals, such as:

• Approaching patients trying to conceive on nonpreferred ART regimens (eg, 2-drug regimens like LA CAB and RPV)
• Optimizing the use of the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry
• Addressing unique barriers to ARV adherence in transgender individuals with HIV (eg, drug formulation considerations for ARV medications and gender-affirming hormone therapy, sperm banking or egg harvesting, drug coverage considerations)

In this episode, Marta Boffito, MD, PhD, FRCP, and Jens D. Lundgren, MD, DMSc, address key considerations when evaluating antiretroviral therapy safety and tolerability in aging patients and those with possible cardiometabolic toxicities, including:

• Monitoring for cardiometabolic syndromes (eg, lipid panels, coronary artery calcification scores)
• Approaching antiretroviral-related weight gain in clinical practice
• Interpreting results from RESPOND on cardiovascular risk with integrase strand transfer inhibitors
• Collaborating with other specialties (eg, cardiologists, dietitians) to provide a multidisciplinary approach for managing comorbidities, including prevention and management
