Q

HBV and HIV coinfection boxed warnings

A
  • Severe acute HBV exacerbation can occur if emtricitabine, lamivudine or tenofovir-containing products are discontinued (some NRTIs treat HBV)
  • Do not use Epivir-HBV for the treatment of HIV (contains a lower dose of lamivudine)

A
  • Screen for HLA-B*5701 allele before starting; abacavir is contraindicated if positive (boxed warnings: risk for hypersensitivity reaction)
  • Consider avoiding with CVD due to a potential risk of MI

Q

INSTI interactions with polyvalent cations

A

Separate from INSTIs from polyvalent cations: take INSTIs 2 hours before or 6 hours after aluminum, calcium, magnesium and iron-containing products; exceptions:
* Dolutegravir and bictegravir can be taken with oral calcium or iron if also taken with food
* Dose separations with raltegravir may not be effective; avoid polyvalent cations if possible

Q

NNRTI drug interactions

A
  • All NNRTIs are CYP3A4 substrates
  • Efavirenz is a moderate CYP3A4 inducer
  • Do not use rilpivirine with PPIs and separate from H2RAs and antacids

Q

Efavirenz (Sustiva) safety issues

A
  • Psychiatric symptoms (depression, suicidal thoughts)
  • CNS effects (impaired concentration, abnormal dreams, confusion), generally resolve in 2-4 weeks
  • ↑ total cholesterol and triglycerides

Food increases the bioavailability and risk for CNS effects; take on an empty stomach QHS to ↓ (and sleep through) CNS effects

Q

Rilpivirine (Edurant)

A
  • Take with food (with a meal, do not substitute with a protein drink)
  • Depression
  • Do not use if viral load > 100,000 copies/mL and/or CD4 count < 200 cells/mm3 (higher failure rate)

  • Hepatic dysfunction: ↑ LFTs
  • Hypersensitivity reactions: rash (including SJS/TEN), angioedema, bronchospasm, anaphylaxis
  • Common side effects: diarrhea, nausea
  • Take with food (except for fosamprenavir oral solution in adults)
17
Q

Atazanavir (Reyataz)

A
  • Hyperbilirubinemia (jaundice or scleral icterus, remember with “bananavir”): reversible, dose not require discontinuation
  • Requires acidic gut for absorption
18
Q

19
Q

20
Q

Ritonavir and cobicistat drug interactions

A

  • Treatment option 1: oral regimen of either Truvada or Descovy, taken daily, with no more than a 90-day supply provided at a time
  • Treatment option 2: a long-acting intramuscular injection of cabotegravir (Apretude); administered by a healthcare provider monthly for 2 doses, then every 2 months

PEP

A
  • AFTER HIV-exposure, start within 72-hours and take for 28 days
  • Truvada (if CrCl ≥ 60) + Tivicay or Isentress
