Inheritance of haemophilia A and B
X-linked
Joint most affected in haemophilia
Knee > elbows >ankles > shoulder/wrists
How to manage intramuscular bleeds in haemophiliacs
Intramuscular generally needs no treatment (except psoas)
Types of factor VIII replacement

- plasma derived - factor VIII and vWF
Recombinant factor VIII
- extended half life or short acting

- weight loss
- exercise
Pharmacological
- Prophylaxis 3-4x/week

How often to monitor bloods for HIV
every 3-6 months:
- CD4
- HIV RNA
- UEC, LFT, FBE
Every 6 months
- Lipids, fasting glucose
Opportunistic infections in HIV based on CD4 count
200-500
- Herpes, Pneumococcal, TB, lymphoma
50-200
- TB, PJP, toxo
- Cancers: Kaposi’s sarcoma, non hodgkin’s lymphoma
<50
- MAC,,CMV, cryptosporidosis

Poor adhere/psychosocial barriers
What to ask about HIV progress in treatment experienced person
When diagnosed Currently CD4 count/HIV load CD4 nadir Opportunistic infections Treatment history and reasons for change Current Mx Monitoring/co infection Co-morbidities
HIV exam
BP, BMI/waist circumference, lipodystrophy, oral candidiasis, CVS

types of HIV treatment failures
virologic
immunological
clinical progression
reasons for treatment failure (virologic or immunologic)
adherence - psychosocial, toxicity drug resistance suboptimal potency of regimen suboptimal pharmacokinetics (drug interactions) more advanced immunodeficiency
