Results of a phase 3 trial in people with HIV infection suggests use of statin therapy could help prevent cardiovascular disease events among this patient population. Named the Randomized Trial to Prevent Vascular Events in HIV (REPRIEVE) trial, results suggest use of daily pitavastatin calcium was associated with a 35% relative reduction in risk of […]
