Q

How is HIV transmitted?

A

Blood, semen, pre-seminal fluid, vaginal fluid, rectal fluids, and breast milk.

Most infection is caused by vaginal and rectal sex,, sharing needles.

Q

How long after initial infection does it take for the viral load to be high enough for HIV RNA and HIV p24 antigens to be detected with an initial HIV1/HIV2 antigen/antibody screening test?

A

~2 weeks post-infection

Positive results are confirmed with an antibody differentiation immunoassay which can determine if HIV1 or HIV2; detection in 4-6 weeks, but sometimes 6 moths

Q

HIV Life Cycle: what happens during Stage 3?

A

“Reverse Transcription”
inside the CD4 cell, HIV releases and uses reverse transcriptase (an HIV enzyme) to convert its genetic material- HIV RNA into HIV DNA.

The conversion of HIV RNA to HIV DNA allows HIV to enter the CD4 cell nucleus and combine with the cell’s genetic material- cell DNA.

NNRTs & NRTs work here

Q

HIV Life Cycle: What happens during stage 4?

A

“Integration”
Inside the CD4 cell nucleus, HIV releases integrate (an HIV enzyme).

HIV uses integrate to insert (integrate) its viral DNA into the DNA of the CD4 cell.

Q

HIV Life Cycle: What happens during stage 5?

A

“Replication”
Once integrated into the CD4 cell DNA, HIV begins to use the machinery of the CD4 cell to make long chains of HIV proteins.

The protein chains are the building blocks for more HIV

No drugs work here.

Q

HIV Life Cycle: what happens during stage 7?

A

“Budding and Maturation”
Newly formed immature (noninfectious) HIV pushes itself out of the host CD4 cell.

The new HIB release protease (an HIV enzyme). Protease breaks up the long protein chains in the immature virus, creating the mature (infectious) virus

A

efavirenz/ Sustiva

69
Q

Why is Atripla no longer first line?
