antiretrovrial therapies (ARTs)
start immediately
purpose of the spleen
filter antigens from the blood
produce leukocytes, monocytes, lymphocytes, and plasma cells in response to infection

splinting
what is fibromyalgia syndrome
a disorder characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain, fatigue with sleep, memory, and mood disturbances
what is chronic fatigue syndrome
a complex, chronic syndrome characterized by overwhelming fatigue and other symptoms

diagnosis of HIV requires positive results from two of three HIV tests.. what are the three
- CD4: 500-1200 cells/mm
- Testing with HIV-1/HIV-2 antigen/antibody combination immunoassays
- medical eval and lab eval

flu-like illness within 2-4 weeks of infection
pathophysiology of HIV
reduction of CD4+ helper T cells
=
CD4+ T lymphocytopenia
how many stages of HIV and what are they
Stage 1: flu-like illness within 2-4 weeks of infection
Stage 2: asymptomatic.. can last a decade or longer
Stage 3: AIDS

11/18
