Summary

People living with HIV have twice the risk of heart attacks and stroke compared to the general population. This trial tests whether integrating clinical pharmacists into HIV care can improve blood pressure control and reduce cardiovascular disease risk. The study enrolls 450 adults with HIV and high blood pressure in Kenya, and the pharmacist-led program includes medication management, access to heart medicines, and peer support. Researchers will measure changes in blood pressure, medication adherence, and quality of life over 12 months.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
a pharmacist-led care program that includes medication management, access to heart medicines, and peer support
What this could lead to
If effective, this approach could provide a scalable way to lower heart attack and stroke risk in people living with HIV, especially in regions with limited healthcare resources.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage implementation study with 450 participants, so results may not apply broadly. The intervention depends on local health systems and pharmacist availability, which may limit reproducibility.
