Exam 5 - HIV/AIDS Flashcards
General Rule of treatment:
need at least __#__ active agents from at least __#___ classes
3 active agents;
from 2 classes
HIV expresses receptor proteins _____ which preferentially binds to ______ receptors T cells, macrophages, dendritic cells
gp120;
CD4 receptors
T or F: HIV is spread through breastmilk
true
hepatitis B NOT spread via breastmilk though
3 stages of HIV infection?
- Acute retroviral syndrome
- Chronic HIV infection (asymptomatic)
- AIDS (acquired immunodeficiency syndrome) symptomatic
3 main routes of transmission for HIV/AIDs
- Exposure of mucous membrane/damaged tissue to infected body fluids
- Blood stream exposure to infected body fluids
- Mother to child
When CD4 cells are infected with HIV/AIDs the cell is not able to do ______ production or secrete _______
antibody;
secrete cytokines
At CD4 counts below ________ is kinda start of opportunistic infections
500 cells/mm3
Sequence of appearance of laboratory markers for HIV infection:
1st seen:
2nd seen:
3rd seen:
1st seen: HIV RNA
2nd seen: HIV p24 antigen
3rd seen: HIV antibody
HIV RNA is first lab marker detectable — approx how long after infection?
10 days
A diagnosis of HIV an be made from either of the following:
-Positive result from __________
Positive ______ test (ex: _________)
- multitest algorithm (initial and supplemental tests MUST be differnet)
- virologic (ex: viral load or qualitative HIV NAT)
OraQuick Test:
Used to detect ________
uses ________ to test
detect HIV
use ORAL FLUID (not saliva tho)
OraQuick Test:
results seen how?
like pregnancy test
2 lines = positive
what is a seroconversion window?
a time THAT VARIES BETWEEN DIAGNOSTIC TESTS;
at end of window it will show a positive test/when antibodies will be seen…
OraQuick Test:
how long is the seroconversion for this test?
3 months
two main surrogate markers for HIV?
CD4 T lymphocyte cell count HIV RNA (viral load)
CD4 count or HIV RNA?
which one is used to assess a patients overall immunocopetence
CD4 T lymphocyte cell count
CD4 count or HIV RNA?
used to assess the effectiveness of therapy
HIV RNA (Viral load)
CD4 count or HIV RNA?
more useful BEFORE initiation of therapy
CD4
CD4 count or HIV RNA?
more useful AFTER initiation of therapy
Viral RNA
CD4 count is a calculated value based on __________ and can fluctuate depending on _________
based on total WBC count
may fluctuate with bone marrow suppressing medication/acute infections
Staging of HIV infection is split into __#___ of classifications and is based primarily on _______
into 4 classifications
based on CD4 count
two ways you can be in stage 3/AIDS?
CD4 count < 200
OR
any AIDS defining opportunistic infection
what drugs are the backbone of initial antiretroviral therapy in treatment naive patients?
NRTIs “nukes”
what NRTIs are adenosine analogues
Tenofovir
Didanosine
what NRTIs are cytidine analogues
lamivudine and emtricitabine
what NRTIs are thymidine analogues
stavudine and zidovudine
what NRTIs are guanosine analogue
abacavir
Prior to initiation of _______ pts must undergo screening for HLA-B5701 genotype
Abacavir
Class effects/ADEs of NRTIs?
mitochondrial toxicity lactic acidosis (w/ or w/out hepatomegaly and hepatic steatosis)
what are examples of mitochondrial toxicity
anemia granulocytopenia myopathy peripheral neuropathy pancreatitis
Some agents have low affinity for mitochondrial DNA polymerase gamma —- these agents are (1st or last line) and are what specific agents
they are 1st line! if low affinity for mitochondrial = better ADE profile
Specific agents are TEAL!!!
Tenofovir, Emtricitabine, Abacavir, Lamivudine
TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) has been assoc. with new onset/worsening _________ and decreases in ________
renal impairment
decrease in BMD (bone mineral density)
most NRTIs are eliminated via ________
renal excretion
the only NRTIs that are hepatic glucuronidated are _________ and __________\
zidovudine
abacavir
All NRTIs (except _______) need dose adjusted in renal insufficiency
abacavir
NRTIs:
few or lots of drug interactions?
few
Due to inhibition of intracellular phosphorylation and minimal additive antiviral activity _______ and _______ should not be used as NRTI backbone therapy
emtricitabine
+
lamivudine
class effect ADE with NNRTIs
rash (usually happens within the first 4 weeks of therapy)
SJS is a potential issue
NNRTIs:
few or a lot of drug interactions?
lots of drug interactions
NNRTIs:
eliminated renally or hepatically?
hepatically
use in caution with hepatic impairment
Class effects/ADEs of Protease Inhibitors:
GI intolerance-N/V/D
Insulin resistance
lipodystrophy
PIs:
few or a lot of drug interactions?
SO MANY — because they get metabolized by CYP3A4
what drug class can have “boosting”
protease inhibitors (bc of CYP3A4 metabolism)
also elvitegravir in INSTIs
INSTIs is what drug class?
integrase strand transfer inhibitors
