Research progress on polypharmacy management in elderly HIV/AIDS patients with multimorbidity

Abstract

Abstract:

Long-term human immunodeficiency virus（HIV） infection and antiretroviral therapy（ART） have led to an increasing risk of non-acquired immune deficiency syndrome（AIDS）-related complications（NADs） in HIV-infected patients. The resulting polypharmacy has also greatly increased the drug burden of patients，seriously affecting the drug self-management and safe medication of HIV/AIDS patients. This paper systematically reviews the concept，evaluation tools and influencing factors of polypharmacy in elderly HIV/AIDS patients with multimorbidity，and puts forward the management strategies of polypharmacy in elderly HIV/AIDS patients with multimorbidity，in order to provide reference for the research and nursing practice of polypharmacy management in HIV-infected patients with NADs.

Key words: HIV, Elderly, Multimorbidity, Polypharmacy, Influencing factors, Review
