HIV definition
presence of virus w.o AIDS defining illness
(+) blood test, no symptomology
AIDS definition
HIV (+) w. AIDS defining illness
AND/OR
HIV (+) w. CD4 < 200
besides CD4 count, another lab value suggestive of AIDS
low platelets
not diagnostic, she just mentioned this
t/f: once pt has dx of AIDS, they will always have this dx even if CD4 count comes back up
T!

asymptomatic
incidental dx
if not asymptomatic, HIV may present w.
opportunistic infxn
anyone w. new dx of __ should be screened for HIV

gs test for PCP/PJP
silver stain on sputum or bronchi wash
preferred test for PCP/PJP
PCR
CXR findings of PCP/PJP
bilateral hilar infiltrates
what is this CXR showing
PCP/PJP
bilatral hilar PNA
4 sx of PCP/PJP
fever
dry cough
SOB/severe hypoxemia
fatigue
pharm for PCP/PJP
trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole
prednisone
dosing for trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole for PCP/PJP
15-20 mg/kg IV q day divided into 6-8 hr dosing
dosing for prednisone for PCP/PJP
40 mg po bid
indication for prednisone for PCP/PJP
paO2 < 70 mm/HG
indication for PCP/PJP prophylaxis
CD4 < 200
1st line for PCP/PJP prophylaxis
PO trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole
med for PCP/PJP prophylaxis if pt has sulfa allergy
dapsone
OR
inhaled pentamidine
must go to infusion center
what are these showing
kaposi’s sarcoma →
purplish, brownish lesions
can be body wide → inside of mouth
kaposi’s sarcoma is caused by
human herpes virus 8
tx for kaposi’s sarcoma
reconstitute/restore immune fxn

4 pathogens of concern when CD4 is btw 200-500
thrush
oral hairy leukoplakia
TB
shingles
3 pathogens of concern when CD4 is <200

myobacterium
aspergillus sp
m. avium complex
CMV
2 pops w. highest number of new HIV dx
AA
gay/bisexual men
pt pop most affected by HIV
gay/bisexual men
region of US most affected by HIV
south
HIV is a retrovirus that depends on __ to replicate
reverse transcriptase
RNA dependent DNA polymerase
most prevalent type of HIV in US
HIV 1
t/f: HIV 1 is more virulent than HIV 2
T!
HIV enters CD4 cells via what 2 chemokine receptors
CCR5
CXCR4
pharm for HIV targets __ chemokine receptor
CCR5
T/F: people w. CCR5 deletions are less likely to become infected w. HIV
T!
what stage of HIV is characterized by integration of HIV genome into the cell
latent
5 stages of HIV
- viral entry
- reverse transcriptase
- integration
- transcription/translation
- assembly/budding
90% of HIV is asymptomatic, what are 5 common presenting sx if not
fever/night sweats/wt loss
kaposi’s sarcoma
lymphoma
oral lesions → hairy leukoplakia
thrush (not considered AIDS defining)
3 stages of HIV infxn
acute retroviral syndrome → 1-12 weeks
clinical latency → 6-10 years
AIDS → 1-2 years
when do sx/infxns related to AIDS/HIV occur
CD4 is going down
viral load coming up →
acute and AIDS
acute retroviral syndrome begins w.
exposure
sx of acute retroviral syndrome
nonspecific flu like →
