HIV Flashcards
HIV properties
retrovirus
target CD4
serocoversion occurs w/in 4-10wks
stage of HIV
1st infection seroconversion latent early symptom of HIV infection AIDS
HIV transmission
Sexual
parenteral
perinatal ( immediately before and after birth)
HIV presentation
Wt loss (avg 5kg), painful mucocutaneous ulceration, HIV viral load elevated; CD4 count low (normal: 800-1100 cells/mm3, 40-70% total lymphocytes, monitor every 3-6 months in HIV patients), aseptic meningitis
HIV latent phase
seroconversion - cell counts and viral load stay in near
HIV reservoirs
Infected CD4 cells but not actively producing HIV, can be established early on, continue to survive despite HAART (since they are not marked, they are not destroyed)
HIV early Sx
Thrush, STDs, fever or diarrhea >1 month,
+ ELISA and Weastern blot
AIDS
CD4 count < 200, HIV+ with AIDs- defining illness, advance aids CD4 count <50
HIV diagnosis
4th generation antigen/antibody assay - 30 min
HIV antibody differentiation assay
HIV RNA testing if acute infection is suspected
HIV labs
CD4 count, VL, CBC, Chem 7, LFT, UA, hepatitis screening, FBG and FLP
Co-receptor tropism assays (maraviroc )
HLA-B 5701 (abacavir) renal function
HIV VL
indicator for ART therapy: decrease by 30-100 fold in 6 wks
GOAL: undetectable VL
virologic failure: >200 copies
suppression of VL: decrease inflammation and immune activation, prevents selection of drug - resistant mutations, preserves CD4 cell numbers
HIV resistance test
Genotype preferred over phenotype
done at baseline and after virologic failure
should be done when viral load >1000
HIV backbone (HAART)
2 NRTI + PI/NNRTI/INSTI
HIV complications
AIDS
HIV-Associated Nephropathy (HIVAN): occurs almost exclusively in black patients, most common cause of ESRD in HIV patient , more rapid progression of HBV/HCV complications, CVD, non-AIDs defining malignancies, neurologic disease, immune cell activation and inflammation
HAART toxicity
Common early toxicities: GI intolerance, anemia, sleep disturbance, hyperbilirubinemia, rash Immediately life-threatening: ABC hypersensitivity, pancreatitis, lactic acidosis, hepatitis, Stevens-Johnson Syndrome Long-term complications: Peripheral nervous system : neuropathy, myopathy Metabolic: Glucose disorders (insulin resistance, hyperglycemia, diabetes), Dyslipidemia (↑TG, ↑Cholesterol, ↓HDL) Cardiovascular: CVD-MI Morphologic: Fat accumulation (abdominal, buffalo hump, gyneocomastia), Fat loss Bone, Renal, Malignancy Nausea counseling: Sx usually decrease over first month, avoid greasy, fried food, eat small frequent snacks or meals, mint and/or simethicone for gas/bloating, consider antiemetics
NRTIs
SE: lipoatrophy,
BBW: lactic acidosis, fatty liver
Emtric DID Lift TV ABove Star Zone

1st line for HBV co- infection
Retrovir
Zidovudine
bone marrow suppression
dyslipidemia
not take with stavu
NNRTI
SE: rash (NVP> DLV>ETR>efv/rpv), increase LFT, dyslipidemias
Delavirdine (DLV), Rilpivirine (RLP), Efavirenz (EFV), Etravirine(ETR), Nevirapine (NVP)
No use in K103N mutation except etravirine
no renal adjustment needed
higher chance for resistance

Not recommended as part of initial regimen
