HIV Flashcards
Which cell type does HIV cause death of
T-Cells
How does HIV replicate
CD4+ T-helper cells
ART
antiretroviral therapy (HIV treatment)
As HIV replicates _____ increases while ____ decreases
viral load increases
CD4+ count decreases
CD4+ count that causes AIDS diagnosis
CD4+ count <200 cells/mm3
Treatment goal
normal CD4+ count (800-1200)
undectable HIV viral load
HIV viral load indicates _____
response to ART
High viral load can indicate 2 things
- medication nonadherence
2. drug resistance
Lab tests for HIV
CD4+ count, HIV viral load, drug resistance genotyping, CMP, CBC with differential, lipid panel, urinary analysis, Hep B+C, pregnancy test, drug-specific allele screening
What drug do you screen for HLA-B*5701 allele?
abacavir
what drug do you get a tropism assay for?
maraviroc
What must a patient be willing to commit to in order to prevent resistance?
ADHERENCE
what must the adherence rate be to prevent resistance?
> /=95% (no more than one dose/month for once daily dosing)
One pill, once daily initial ART options in treament-naive adults
Biktarvy, Triumeq, Dovato
Biktarvy
2 NRTIs: Tenofovir alafenamide, emtricitabine
1 INSTI: Bictegravir
Triumeq
2 NRTIs: Abacavir, lamivudine
1 INSTI: Dolutegravir
Dovato
1 NRTI: Lamivudine
1 INSTI: Dolutegravir
2 pill initial ART in treatment naive adults
Tivicay + Truvada
Tivicay + Descovy
Isentress + Truvada
Isentress + Descovy
TDF vs TAF
TDF has more renal and bone issues, use TAF if renal impairment or high fracture risk
Supplementation while using TDF
calcium and vit D.
HLA-B*5701 present
high risk of hypersentivity reaction to ABACAVIR - CONTRAINDICATED
Do not use Dovato when…
HIV RNA is >500,000 copies/mL or hep B co-infection present (only has two drugs/not as strong)
NRTIs MoA
competitively block reverse transcriptase preventing viral RNA from being converted into DNA
List of NRTIs
TDF- Viread TAF - combos and Vemlidy (Hep B) Lamivudine - Epivir Emtricitabine - Emtriva Abacavir - Ziagen Zidovudine - Retrovir Stavudine + didanosine (old, many AEs)
What NRTI is given during labor to protect baby if mother’s IV load is >1000
zidovudine
when do we give zidovudine during labor?
if mother’s viral load is >1000
_____ impairment indicates decrease NRTI dosing (except abacavir)
renal!
Tenofovir combo place in therapy
ART regmines usually compose of tenofovir and emtricitabine
also used in PrEP & PEP (Truvada and Descovy)
Why are 2 NRTIs a backbone of treatment-naive therapy?
good tolerability
few interactions
lack of resistance in ART naive patients
Caution in older NRTIs (didanosine, zidovudine, + stavudine)
HIGHER risk of lactic acidosis and hepatomegaly with steatosis and pancreatitis
Caution: abacavir
hypersensitivity risk - allele testing required prior to use
CI if history of reaction - NEVER rechallenge
Do not use ______ if treating HIV and HBV
abacavir
What drug class should a patient avoid if taking TDF (tenofovir disoproxil fumarate)
NSAIDs
Side effects of NRTIs
N/D, increase LFTs, headache
Abacavir: rash, increase risk of MI
emtricitabine: hyperpigmentation of palms of hands and soles of feet
______ and _______ can be replaced by each other in treatment regimens, but don’t use together because they are antagonistic
emtricitabine and lamivudine
INSTIs MOA
block integrase enzyme preventing viral DNA from integrating into host cell DNA
list of INSTIs
"-tegravir" Bictegravir Elvitegravir Doletegravir Raltegravir
Caution with INSTIs:
Don’t mix with cations (Al,Mg)
Which INSTI needs to be used with caution with UGT1A1s?
Raltegravir
Which drug should be avoided when using INSTIs
Rifampin
Which INSTIs can exacerbate HBV if discontinued? (two)
bictegravir, elvitegravir
Side effects of INSTIs
headache, insomnia, diarrhea, weight gain, rhabdomyolysis, proteinuria
____ can be increased by bictegravir and dolutegravir but _____ is not effected
SCr can be increased, GFR not effected
NNRTIs MoA
inhibit reverse transcriptase by non-competitively binding unlike NRTIs (competetitive)
list of NNRTIs
efavirenz (Sustiva)
rilpivirine (Edurant)
NNRTIs place in therapy
not-first line
used with 2 NRTIs
