- Rationale and Design of a Nurse-Led Intervention to Extend the HIV Treatment Cascade for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Trial (EXTRA-CVD) has been published in the American Heart Journal.
Persons living with human immunodeficiency virus (PLHIV) are at increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). In spite of this, uptake of evidence-based clinical interventions for ASCVD risk reduction in the HIV clinic setting is sub-optimal.
The EXTRA-CVD trial will provide evidence appraising the potential impact of nurse-led interventions in reducing ASCVD risk among PLHIV, an essential extension of the HIV care continuum beyond HIV viral suppression.

- The Use of a Human-Centered Design Approach to Adapt a Nurse-Led Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Intervention in HIV Clinics will be published in the Progress in Cardiovascular Diseases Journal.
Stakeholder-informed strategies addressing cardiovascular disease (CVD) burden among people living with HIV (PWH) are needed within healthcare settings. This study provides an assessment of how human-centered design (HCD) guided the adaptation of a nurse-led intervention to reduce CVD risk among PWH. Along with acceptability and feasibility testing, HCD led to the production of 14 key recommendations to enhance the effectiveness and scalability of an integrated HIV/CVD intervention.
