HIV Flashcards
HIV1 vs HIV2
HIV-1- more prevelant in the U.S and more pathogenic (rapid progression to AIDS)
HIV-2- more in Western Africa, less pathogenic, more resistant to NNRTs
Souce of Transmission: body fluids of infected person
Cell surface receptors for HIV
CD4
CCR5
HIV testint
Seroconversion window period
- time of infection to production of antibodies
- average 3-4 weeks but up to 6 months
- acute HIV
HIV tetsing
- Rapid (antibody test)- bllod or oral fluid, rapid test requires confirmation if reactive
- Combination immunotherapy (4th gen)- HIV-1 or HIV-2 antibodies and HIV-1 protein 24, more sensetive to early detection
- PCR test- viral load test detects genetic material of HIV
Emtriva (emtricitabine, FTC)
NRTI
Headache, GI intolerance, rash
Emtricitabine used for HIV and HBV
Rare hyperpigmentaition of palms and soles of feet more with African Americans
Epivir (lamivudine, 3TC)
NRTI
Headache, GI intolerance, rash
Can be used in HBV infections
Viread (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate or TDF)
NRTI
GI intolerance (fatulence and diarrhea), headache,
decreased bone marrow density, osteomalacia, renal impairment (TDF), Fanconi Syndrome
TDF associated with lower lipid levels (good patients with hyperlipidemia)
Used to treat HBV too
Vemlidy (tenofovir alafenamide, TAF)
- NRTI
- Higher lipid levels but better for the kidneys
- substrate of p- glycoprotein- DDI will lower the TAF levels (subtheraputic)
- Phenytoin, oxcarbazepine, phenobarbital, rifampin, rifabutin, rifapentine, St. John’s Worts
- Used to treat HBV too
Ziagen (abacavir, ABC)
NRTI
Liver metabolism via alcohol dehydrogenase- caution in hepatic impairment and alocholics
Hypersenitivity reactions- check HLA-B*5702 test
- Positive then avoid the drug and report as allergy on patient chart
- Even if the test is negative report signs and symptoms if they develop
Increased risk of MI
Travada (emtricitabine/ tenofovir disoproxil furarate, FTC/ TDF)
NRTI
Can be used as prophylaxis too
Descovy (emtricitabine/ tenofovir alafenamide, FTC/TAF)
NRTI
For HIV and HBV
Epzicom (lamivudine/ abacavir, 3TC/ABC)
NRTI
Generally what is the MOA of NRTIs and drug class side effects?
Pharmacokinetics?
MOA- inhibit HIV-1 reverse transciptase (RT) by competitive inhibition of the enzyme as well as chain termination
- drug binds to RT instead of virus
ADR- lactic acidoisis and hetaptic steatosis, lipodystrophy/ lipoatrophy (more common with stavudine)
Pharmacokinitics- mostly renally excreted except Ziagen (abacavir)- liver metabolism via ADH
Which NRTI can be used to treat HBV?
Emtriva (emtricitabine)
Epivir (lamivudine)
Viread (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, TDF)
Vemlidy (tenofovir alafenamide, TAF)
Pifeltro (doravirine)
NNRT
LEAST CNS TOXICITY IN CLASS
Nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, dizsiness, headache, fatigue, abnormal dreams
Edurant (rilpivirine, RPV)
NNRT
A bit more CNS effetcs then doravirine
Depression, insomnia, headache, rash
Take with food (need acidic environment for absportion)
Contraindicated with PPIs
Take H2 anatagonist at least 12 hours before or 4 hours after rilpivirine
Take anatacids 2 hours before or 4 hours after rilpivirine
Sustiva (efavirenz, EFV)
NNRTI
MOST CNS EFFECTS
dizziness, drowsiness, sleepiness, insomnia, vivid dreams
Lipophilic drug so take on an empty stomach _(_food would cause increase CNS effects)
CYP2B6 substrate induction pathway- genetic polymorphism may lower the metabolism (increased ADR)
- give lower dose efavirenz in symfi Lo may be better tolerated
Neural tube defects in first trimester of pregnancy
Decreases levels of rifampin, rifabutin, voriconazole, methoaone, statin
