HIV Flashcards
All HIV infected individuals initiate ART if
CD4 count < 350, 350 to 500, or > 500
Initiate ART regardless of CD4 Count when
Hx of AIDs defining illness, prego, HIV associated nephropathy, Co-infected w hepatitis B, HIV infected individuals at risk for transmitting disease to their sexual partners
ART for Na_ve HIV patients
NNRTI + 2NRTI or PI (pref. boosted w ritonavir) + 2NRTI or INSTI + 2NRTI
Preferred Regimens NNRTI based
efavirenz/tenofovir/emtricitabine (Atripla)
Preferred regimen PI based
atazanavir + ritonavir + tenofovir/emtricitabine and darunavir + ritonavir + tenofovir/emtricitabine
Preferred Regimen INSTI based
raltegravir + tenofovir/emtricitabine
Preferred for prego
lopinavir + ritonavir + zidovudine/lamivudine
NRTIs Nucleoside/tide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors MOA
NRTIs work by binding to the catalytic site of reverse transcriptase, interfering with HIV viral RNA-dependent DNA polymerase and resulting in inhibition of viral replication
NRTIs entire class side effects
lactic acidosis, severe hepatic steatosis, sometimes fatal, especially with stavudine, didanosine, and zidovudine
Ziagen
abacavir ABC, serious possibly fatal hypersiensitivity reaction, must screen for HLA-B*5701 allele prior to starting and if + cannot use
Epzicom
abacavir + lamivudine
Trizivir
abacavir + lamivudine + zidovudine, one tab BID
Videx, EC
didanosine ddl, BBW: pancreatitis, SE: peripheral neuropathy, NVD, EC = take on empty stomach (1 hr before or 2 hrs after meal), decrease dose CrCl < 60, store med in tightly closed bottles at room temp
Emtriva
emtricitabine 3TC, BBW: may exacerbate hepatitis B once drug is D/C or HBV resistance may develop SE: hyperpigmentation
Truvada
emtricitabine + tenofovir, one tab daily
Atripla
emtricitabine + efavirenz + tenofovir, one tabe daily, take on EMPTY STOMACH preferably at bedtime
Stribild
emtricitabine + tenofovir and elvitegravir + cobicistat, one tab daily with FOOD
Epivir
lamivudine FTC, BBW: do not use Epivir-HBV for trmt of HIV bc contains lower lamuvidine, may exacerbate hep B once drug is DC or resistance may develop, decrease dose CrCl < 50
Combivir
lamivudine + zidovudine, one tab BID
Zerit
stavudine d4T, weight based dosing >= 60kg give 40mg Q12H, < 60 kg give 30 mg, decrease dose when CrCl < 50
Retrovir
zidovudine ZDV, BBW: bone marrow suppression, hematologic toxicities, decrease dose CrCl < 15
Viread
tenofovir TDF, BBW: may exacerbate hep B once drug is DC or resistance may develop, SE: fanconi syndrome, renal insufficiency, osteomalacia, decrease bone density
NRTIs Drug interaction
NRTIs do not undergo hepatic transformation via CYP metabolism pathway so fewer D/I’s, ribivarin may increase levels of NRTIs, avoid didanosine + stavudine bc pancreatitis, peripheral neuropathy and hyperlactatemia, avoid didanosine + tenofovir bc resitance and virologic failure and increased didansoine concentration, avoid emtricitabine + lamivudine bc no benefit, avoid zidovudine + stavudine bc antagonist effect on HIV-1
NNRTIs Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors MOA
NNRTIs work by binding to reverse transcriptase and blocking the RNA dependent and DNA dependent DNA polymerase activities including HIV-1 replication
NNRTIs Entire class side effects
Rash (SJS/TEN) monitor for erythema, facial edema, skin necrosis, blisters, tongue swelling,
Rescriptor
delaviridine DRV
Sustiva
efavirenz EFV, TAKE ON EMPTY STOMACH PREF QHS, SE: CNS (impaired concentration, drowsiness, vivid dreams) and PSYCH symptoms (depression, mania, suicide), hyperlipidemia, PREGO D
Intelence
Etravirine, ETR
