Q

what is the MOA of NRTI

A

NRTI bind to the receptors of reverse transcriptase preventing reverse transcription from being able to take place this therefore prevents viral RNA being transcribed into DNA and thus viral replication

Q

what is the mode of action of NNRTI (non nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors)

A

NNRTI work by binding to the reverse transcriptase enzyme (but not the receptor like NRTI) this causes the receptor to change shape meaning that HIV RNA can not bind halting viral replication

Q

what is the mode of action of boosted drugs used in ART

A

boosted drugs aim to boost the effectiveness of protease inhibitors, it makes the liver break down protease inhibitors slower which means the body is exposed to higher levels of serum ART. Without the booster drug the prescribed drug would not be effective

20
Q

Ritonavir and cobicistat are examples of which class of ART

A - NNRTI
B- protease inhibitors
C- intergrase inhibitors
D - NRTI
E- boosted drugs

A

E- boosted drugs

21
Q

what type of virus is HIV

  • single stranded DNA
    -single stranded RNA
    -double stranded DNA
    -single stranded RNA
A

single stranded RNA virus

22
Q

what class of viruses does HIV belong to

A

lentivirus

23
Q

name the ART that interacts with all forms of hormonal contraception excluding IUD (IUS/IUCD) and depo

A

Efavirenz

24
Q

what is Efavirenz effect on emergency contraception

A

Efavirenz is an enzyme inducer potential to decrease plasma level of levonorgestrel and ulipristal acetate

25
Q

ART efficacy is effected by contraception drug interactions - true or false

A

false - no evidence that any contraception effects the efficacy of ART. It is the reverse that ARTs can reduce the efficacy of contraception methods

26
Q

which two classes of ART are considered inducers of the P450 system

A

ritonavir boosted protease inhibitors and NNRTIs (specifically Efavirenz)

(inducers speed up metabolism of contraception and therefore decrease its efficacy)

27
Q

NRTIs are considered safe will all forms of hormonal contraception (excluding oral EC)
True or false

A

true

28
Q

which NNRTI should we avoid using hormonal contraception (oral EC, POP/CHC, implant) with and why

A

Efavirenz is a enzyme inducer of P450 system and should be avoided with all forms of hormonal contraception including oral EC

29
Q

what methods of contraception are considered safe with Effavirenz

A

IUS, IUCD, depo provera

30
Q

Are etravirine and nevirapine considered enzyme inducers or inhibitors of P450 system

A

enzyme inducers, potential weak interaction but not expected to lower HC effectiveness. FSRH advise to consider different option but could be used if patient understands potential risk as not considered to

31
Q

which two NNRTIs are considered safe with all forms of hormonal contraception

A

Doravirine and rilpivirine

32
Q

intergrase inhibitors are considered safe with all forms of contraception

True or false

A

True

e.g. dolutegravir, raltegravir, bictegravir

33
Q

what effect do boosted protease inhibitors have on hormonal contraception

A

increase in progestogen levels and EE levels remain unchanged or slightly decreased

34
Q

what is the advice regarding patients using enzyme inducing ART with emergency contraception

A

ideally avoid oral EC and advice EC-IUD as best option
no evidence of double dosing ART
if IUCD is not an option for the patient suggest double dose levonorgestrel but not to double dose ulipristal acetate (no evidence on how effective this is)

35
Q

what is the risk of of HIV acquisition from one episode of receptive vaginal sex with a partner known to be HIV positive with detectable viral load?

A

0.1%

36
Q

what type of sex has the highest risk of HIV acquisition

A

receptive anal sex (1.11%)

37
Q

Sally is a 32 year old female diagnosed with HIV and taking ART. Her HIV viral load is undetectable. She wants advice regarding contraception. She tells you her ART consists of efavirenz with tenofovir disoproxil. Which of the following is the most suitable form of contraception.

A- IUS
B- Implant
C- CHC
D- POP

A

A - IUS (Efavirenz is an enzyme inducer and therefore should be avoided with hormonal contraception except IUS/cu - IUD and depo

38
Q

boosted PI with carbocistat has the following effect on hormonal contraception

A - increases estradiol and progestogen levels
B- increased estradiol and decreases progestogen levels
C- decreases estradiol and progestogen levels
D- decreases estradiol and increases progestogen levels

A

A - increases estradiol and progestogen levels (hence FSRH recommend considering not using CHC due to potential theoretical increase in thrombosis risk)

cobocistat is an inhibitor - inhibits metabolism of EE and P

39
Q

what does contraception efficacy rely on progestogen or oestrogen?

A

Progestogen exposure

40
Q

list the anti-retrovirals that should be avoided with hormonal EC and why

A

Efavirenz - enzyme inducer
Etravarine - enzyme inducer
Neviparine - enzyme inducer

41
Q

Can boosted PIs be used with oral EC (e.g. ritonavir and carbocistat boosted (atanzavir, darunavir, lopinavir)

A

yes fine with oral EC as if anything they lead to increased serum progestogen levels so don’t decrease efficacy of oral EC

42
Q

protease inhibitors are enzyme inducers or inhibitors of Cytochrome P450 enzyme

A

inhibitors therefore lead to increased levels of serum hormones in contraception

43
Q

booster PIs are enzyme inducers or inhibitors of cytochrome P450 enzyme

A

inducers

44
Q

carbocistat an inducer or inhibitor of P450

A

inhibits - leads to increased levels of estradiol and progestogen (theoretical increase risk of thrombosis)

45
Q

is ritonavir an inducer or inhibitor of P450

A

both - it induces metabolism of EE and decreases metabolism of P therefore unlikely to affect hormonal contraceptive effectiveness, just perhaps a few more se due to low oestrogen e.g. irregular bleeding.
