Q

How is HIV transmitted?

A
  1. direct contact between infected body fluid (blood, semen, vaginal/rectal secretions, and breast milk)
  2. direct contact with mucous membranes or open wounds (IV drug use)
  3. mother-to-child/ vertical transmission through pregnancy, childbirth, or breastfeeding

A

must have tropism assay results before starting (determines if HIV strain infecting the patient can only bind to the CCR5 co-receptor

if the HIV strain can bind to CXCR 4 or mixed co-receptors maraviroc will not work HIV can still get into the cell

149
Q

What is the MOA of fostemavir?

A

150
Q

What are warnings and SEs with fostemavir?

A
  1. do not use with strong CYP3A4 inducers
  2. must maintain effective HBV treatment in patients coinfected with HBV
  3. can increase SCr (higher risk for underlying renal disease)
  4. indicated in combination with other ARTs in heavily treatment-experienced patients who are failing current therapy
151
Q

What is the MOA of Ibalizumab-uiyk?

A

monoclonal antibody that binds to a select domain of CD4 cell receptors, blocking the entry of the virus into the cell; fusion inhibitor

152
Q

A
  1. infusion-related reactions (observe for 1 hour after the first infusion)
  2. diarrhea

  5. rash
  6. indicated in combination with other ARTs in heavily treatment-experienced patients who are failing current therapy
153
Q

How is ibalizumab-uiyk administered?

A

IV injection administered by a health care professional

154
Q

What is the MOA of Lencapavir?

A

inhibits multiple stages of the HIV cycle including capsid transport into the nucleus, virus assembly and capsid formation, resulting in a malformed capsid; capsid inhibitor

155
Q

What are warnings/SEs wit lencapavir?

A
  1. CI with strong CYP3A4 inducers
  2. local injection site reactions: erythema, induration, nodule, pain swelling
  3. indicated in combination with other ARTs in heavily treatment-experienced patients who are failing current therapy
156
Q

How is lencapavir administered?

A

oral loading dose followed by SQ injection into the abdomen every 6 months

157
Q

What is the MOA of Enfuvirtide?

A

prevents HIV from fusing to the CD4 cell membrane, preventing virus entry into the cells; fusion inhibitor

158
Q

What are warnings/SEs with enfuvirtide?

A
  1. risk of bacterial pneumonia, hypersensitivity reactions
  2. local injection site reactions (occur in nearly all patients): erythema, nodule, pain, swelling, cysts,
  3. ecchymosis (bleeding under the skin)
  4. nausea
  5. diarrhea
  6. fatigue
  7. reserved for use as salvage therapy in patients with extensive HIV resistance
