rapid tests
ELISA test works how
detects antibodies against HIV1
time after infection to test positive
3-4 weeks up to 6 months
Western blot advantage
more specific than ELISA

2 + ELISA and a + western blot
CD4 is a surrogate marker for
immune function
During acute infection what is the viral load and CD4
low CD4, high viral load >100K
What is acute retroviral syndrome
flu-like s/s

10-15 years
Who should be tested for HIV
everyone 13-65 yo
women during 3rd trimester of pregnancy
Who should be tested for HIV
everyone 13-65 yo
women during 3rd trimester of pregnancy
Who should start ART
everyone HIV +
Which conditions favor more rapid initiation of ART
pregnancy AIDS defining conditions Acute opportunistic infections (NOT cryptococcal meningitis or non-TB mycobacterial infection) CD4 100/year) Higher viral loads (>100K)
Conditions where deferral of therapy may be considered
significant barriers to adherence
comobidities that complicate of prohibit ART (temporary)
Long term nonprogressors and elite controllers
goals of ART
Reduce HIV morbidity and prolong duration and quality of survival
Restore and preserve immunological function
Maximally and durably suppress plasma HIV viral load
Prevent HIV transmission
normal CD4 count
500-1500
per year decline in cd4 count without treatment
50-80
per year increase in CD4 count with treatment
50-150
when does hiv viral load suppression begin after starting treatment
12-24 weeks
when does hiv viral load suppression begin after starting treatment
12-24 weeks
What labs need to be done prior to ART?
CD4 count HIV-1 RNA viral load chemistries LFTs CBC w/ differential Fasting lipids Fasting glucose Urinalysis Hep B/C serologies Resistance testing Pregnancy test HLA B*5701 Tropism assay

What % adherence is needed in ART
> 95%
Barriers to adherence
non acceptance of diagnosis busy lifestyle inconsistent work schedule homelessness drug use depression/psych issues
6 steps of HIV replication
- binding and fusion
- reverse transcription
- integration
- transcription
- translation
- viral assembly
6 steps of HIV replication
- binding and fusion
- reverse transcription
- integration
- transcription
- translation
- viral assembly
what occurs in the binding and fusion step
HIV glycoprotein gp120 binds to CD4 receptor and the co-receptor chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5)
what occurs in the reverse transcription step
viral enzyme reverse transcriptase makes a double stranded DNA copy of the viral RNA
what occurs in the integration step
proviral DNA enters the cell nucleus and is incorporated into the CD4 genome via viral enzyme integrase
What occurs in the transcription step
the DNA is transcribed into viral m-RNA by human RNA polymerase
What occurs in the translation step
viral mRNA leaves the nucleus and is translated into long strings of viral protein
What occurs in the viral assembly step
viral protease reassembles viral proteins into mature virus particles which can bud from the cell membrane and infect new cells
