HIV Flashcards
What is HIV/AIDS caused by?
- Human immunodeficiency Virus
*member of the Lentivirus genus and Retroviride family
*will destroy to CD4 cells
What is AIDS characterized?
Most advanced stage of HIV infection
1. CD4 cell count below 200
2. CD4 cell % of total lymphocytes less than 15%
3. Obtaining an opportunistic illness
What is the binding/attachment stage of HIV
- Binding of HIV to CD4 receptor
What is the fusion stage of HIV?
- HIV envelop fuses with CD4 membrane. Releasing HIV RNA and enzymes
What is the Reverse transcription stage of HIV?
Reverse transcriptase coverts HIV RNA into DNA that enters the CD4 nucleus
What is the integration stage of HIV?
The integrase protein integrate the HIV DNA into the host cells DNA
What is the replication stage of HIV?
Replication of host/HIV DNA occurs and translation of HIV proteins
What is the assembly stage of HIV?
New HIC RNA and protein move to CD4 surface and form immature HIV
What is the budding stage of HIV?
The new HIV pushes itself outside of the CD4 cell and releases protease to form infectious HIV
What is the most important part/goal for drug therapies?
Adherence at least 95% or greater
*Missing no more than 1dose/month of once-daily regimen
What is the 1 pill regimen for HIV (newly diagnosed)? (1 integrase strand transfer INSTI + 1-2 Nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors NRTIs)
- Biktarvy = bictegravir/emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)
- Triumeq = Dolutegravir/ abacavir/ lamivudine
- Dovato = Dolutegravir/lamivudine
What is the CI of Dovato?
- Hepatitis B infection
- HIV viral load >500,000 copies
What is the 2 pill regimen for HIV (newly acquired)?
- Trivicay (Dolutegravir) + Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) (TDF)
- Trivicay (Dolutegravir) + Descovy (emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide) (TAF)
- Isentress (raltegravir) + Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) (TDF)
- Isentress (raltegravir) + Descovy (emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide) (TAF)
What is PREP for (pre-exposure prophylaxis)
High risk sexual behavior
What needs to be completed before starting PREP?
- HIV -
- Screen for Hep B/STIs
- Confirm renal function
What are the options for PREP?
- Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) (TDF)
- Descovy (emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide) (TAF)
- Apretude (cabotegravir)
*1&2 tablets
*3 injection
What is the monitoring schedule for PREP?
Every 3 months
When should the PEP for HIV be taken?
- Within 72 hours and taken for 28 days
What are the options for HIV PEP?
- Truvada (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate) (TDF)
PLUS - Tivicay (Dolutegravir)
OR - Isentress (raltegravir)
*use once daily for 28 days
***Do NOT wait for HIV results to start PEP
