Lecture 26: HIV Flashcards
What is the target cells for the Pathophysiology for HIV?
- gp120; binds to CD4 on T cells, Marcophages, Dendritic Cell
- Primary Target = CD4 T
CD4 T helps with cell immunity and protection aganist viruses
What are the 3 routes of transmission for HIV?
- Exposure of mucous membrane
- Blood stream exposure
- Mother-to-Child
ALL EXPOSED TO INFECT BODY FLUIDS
Infected Body Fluid: Blood, Semen, Pre-Cum, Rectal Fluid, Vaginal Secretions, Boob Milk
HIV NOT in urine, poop, sweat or tears
What are a few of the ways that there is Mucous Membrane Transmissions in HIV?
What can increase risk?
- Sexual: MOST COMMON
- Increased Risk: High viral load, STI present, Tearing, Menstruation
Others: Blood Stream Exposure and Mother-to-Child
Getting Anal > > Giving Anal > Getting Vaginal > Giving Vaginal > > BJ
What are is 3 stages of HIV Infections?
- Stage 0: Acute Retoviral Syndrome [Fast replication]
- Stage 1: Chronic HIV [Asymptomatic]
- Stage 2: AIDS [Symptomatic]
Who should be recommended for HIV Screening?
- Patients 13-64 years old [Annually for high risk]
- ALL Pregnant women ASAP
- ALL starting TB treatment
- ALL going to STI clinics
TESTING SHOULD BE OPT-OUT = they have to do it
What is the best method of Screening Diagnostic tools for HIV?
- 4th Gen Immunoassay; shows (+) or (-)
- (+) = differentiation for HIV 1 or 2
- (-) = stop [no HIV 1 or 2 & no pg24]
What is the one OTC Rapid Testing tool that is used for HIV, and what is some counseling for it?
- OraQuick: uses oral fluids
- (+) results: Should go to Dr to double check
- (-) Results: seroconversion window [3m window to check]; Repeat Teat; Prevention
What are the 2 HIV Surrogate Markers?
- CD4 T Lymphocyte: Primary Marker of Imunocompetence & used BEFORE therapy
- HIV RNA PCR: Shows effectiveness of therapy & used AFTER therapy
When staging for HIV, what are the CD4 cells counts for each of the stages?
- Stage 0: —-
- Stage 1: > 500
- Stage 2: 200-499
- Stage 3 [AIDS]: < 200 or OI Diagnosis
What is the MOA, Class Adverse Effects and Precaution for Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors for HIV Treatment?
- MOA: Elongation Termination of growing proviral DNA chain [NO 3’ OH]
- Class AE: Mitochondrial Toxicities & Lactic Acidosis [Less in “TEAL”]
- Precaution: REQUIRES dosage adjustment [NOT Abacavir
Mito Toxic: Anemia, Granuocyotpenia, Myopathy, Neuropathy…
TEAL = Tenofovir, Emtricitabine, Abacavir, Lamivudine
What is the MOA, Class Adverse Effects and Precaution for Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors for HIV Treatment?
- MOA: Binds to allosteric site of RT decreasing function
- Class AE: Rash
- Precautions: Caution in Hepatic issues; drug interations; high resistance [mainly nevirapine & efavirenz]
What is the MOA, Class Adverse Effects and Precaution for Protease Inhibitors for HIV Treatment?
- MOA: Inhibits action of protease; preventing assembly, maturation, release
- Class AE: GI issues, Insulin Resistance, Lipodystrophy
- Precaution: NOT for Hepatic Issues; drug interactions
What is important to know about “Boosting” in HIV?
Main agents? What they help with?
- Ritonavir & Cobicistat are potent 3A4 inhibitors
- Increase conc. of other ARVs
- Increases absorption, half-lifes, conc; reduces doses, frequnecy
What is the MOA, Class Adverse Effects and Precaution for Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors for HIV Treatment?
- MOA: Inhibits HIV integrase, prevents viral DNA integration into host genome
- Class AE: Weight Gain
- Precaution: less drug interactions, gets resistance easily
What is the MOA and Precaution for Attachment Inhibitor for HIV Treatment?
- MOA: Temsavir binds to gp120; blocking attachment to CD4
- Precaution: Contraindicated with strong 3A4 inducer, Rarely used
What is the MOA and Precaution for Post-Attachment Inhibitor for HIV Treatment?
- MOA: Binds to D2 on CD4 and interrupts the post-attachement requires for entry into host cell
- Precaution: IV, NO drug interactions, Rarely Used
What is the MOA and Precaution for Chemokine Coreceptor (CCR5) Antagonist for HIV Treatment?
- MOA: Binds to CCR5 on CD4; blocking gp120 and preventing entry
- Precautions: Before start give tropism since its only active toward CCR5, 3A4 substrate
What is the MOA and Precaution for Fusion Inhibitor for HIV Treatment?
- MOA: Binds to gp41 and prevents fusion and entry into CD4 cell
- Precaution: SUBQ, No drug interactions, Rarely Used
What is the MOA and Precaution for Capsid Inhibitor for HIV Treatment?
- MOA: Binds between p24 and interferes with many steps in viral synthesis [uptake, assembly, formation]
- Precaution: Half-life of 8-12w, 3A4 substrate
