HIV and HAART Flashcards
HAART agents causing peripheral neuropathy
Didanosine, Stavudine, Zalcitabine
MOA of raltegravir
Integrase inhibitor
NOD like receptor responsible for gout
NALP3
Caspase 1 activated and IL-1 beta released
DOC for HIV, Hep B coninfection not on HAART
Emtricitabine+Tenofovir with NNRTI or PI
On HAART - Truvada or Lamivudine +Tenofovir(Lamivudine naïve)
Entacavir only if full suppression of HIV
If on Lamivudine -Add Tenofovir/adefovir or change to Truvada
HAART agent causing lipodystrophy
Ritonavir
Complication of statin with protease inhibitor
Protease inhibitors cause CYP3A4 inhibition
Can cause high statin levels leading to rhabdomyolysis
Alternative -Pravastatin
Drug absolutely CI with PI
Cisapride -can cause torsades
Cytokines mediating atopy
Th2 response
IL-4, 13 -Act on B cells to cause Ig E switching
IL-5 attracts eosinophils
Exposure posing highest risk of HIV transmission
Receptive anal intercourse -1/120
S/E of tenofovir
Renal impairment, osteoporosis
HLA related to abacavir hypersensitivity
HLA B5701
HAART causing lipoatrophy
Zidovudine, stavudine
S/E of PI
Insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, increased CV risk
MOA of MARAVIROC
CCR5 inhibitor
Not active in patients where virions use CXCR4 for entry
Strongest single predictor of disease progression at all stages of HIV
CD38 expression by CD8 cells
