Q

HIV 1 versus HIV 2

A

HIV = retrovirus = lentivirus

HIV - 1

  • More Prevalent*
  • More Pathogenic*
  • HIV-1 VArients divided into groups: M, N, O, P*
  • Within M (Major) group there are classes A, B, C, D, F, G, H, J, K*
  • Origins Chimpanzee*

HIV - 2

  • Largely limited to Western Africa*
  • Less pathogenic*
  • Treatment differences (HIV-2 resisitant to NNRTI’s)*
  • Origins: Sooty Mangabey*

Q

A

1. CD4 Receptors

2. Chemokine Receptors

Q

HIV testing

A

Seroconversion window period

Time of infection to production of antibodies

Average 3-4 weeks but up to 6 months

HIV tests

Rapid (antibody tests)

  • Blood or oral fluid sample (eg., in-home oral HIV test through OraQuick)*
  • Faster results; require confirmation if reactive*

Combination immunoassy (‘fourth - generation test’)

  • Detects HIV-1 and HIV-2 antibodies and HIV-1 protein 24 (p24) antigen*
  • More sensitive in diagnosing early infection*

PCR test (polymerase chain reaction test)

Viral load tests: detect genetic material of HIV

Q

NNRTI Characteristics

A

Pharmacokinetics:

Absorption/food effects:

Take with food: Rilpivirine

Take on empty stomach: Efavirenz

Metabolism

Liver metabolism via CYP450

Substrates of CYP3A4

Efavirenz is a substrate of CYP2B6 and its levels may accumulate in genetic polymorphism

<em>Lower-dose Efavirenz in Symfi Lo may be better tolerated</em>

Q

PI Pharmacokinetics

A

Absorption/food effects:

Acid-suppressive therapy interacts with atazanavir

Metabolism:

Substrates of CYP 450 (hepatic and intestinal) and P-gp

Most PIs are also inhibitors of CYP enzymes

Many drug interactions (eg., statins, fluticasone, salmeterol, rifampin, Hep C antivirals, anticoagulants, certain antifungals, quetiapine, St. John’s Wort)

Ritonavir: strongest metabolic inhibitor in class (CYP3A4 and 2D6)=> boosts levels of other PIs

22
Q

Insomnia, HA, possible weight gain, increase in liver enzymes, and creatine kinase (CK)

Drug-specific side effects:

Dolutegravir

Neuropsychiatric effects

Neural tube defects (avoid in women of childbearing age not on contraception or within 12 weeks post conception)

Boosted INSTI (Genvoya, Stribild)

25
Q

INSTI Pharmacokinetics

A

Absorption:

Elvitegravir regimens - Genvoya, Stribild:
