Studying the Benefits of Pitivastatin Statin for Cardiovascular Disease in HIV Patients

The REPRIEVE trial investigated the use of pitivastatin statin in HIV patients who were at low to moderate risk of cardiovascular disease. The trial enrolled over 7,000 adults aged 40 to 75 who were taking antiretroviral therapy for their HIV diagnosis. The results showed that pitivastatin statin significantly reduced major adverse cardiovascular events compared to placebo, with a number needed to treat of 106. This suggests that pitivastatin statin may be an appropriate option for primary prevention of cardiovascular disease in this patient population.
