36
Q

What is the window period?

A

time between the initial infection and a positive test
results.

37
Q

PrEP - Pre-exposure prophylaxis

A

Perform a risk assessment to determine
the risk of HIV INFECTION:
* men who have sex with men - MSM
* transgender and gender diverse people
* heterosexual people
* people who inject drugs
3 months is the key word

38
Q

Before prescribing HIV PrEP

A

Perform baseline testing:
* HIV,
* Hepatitis B and C virus
* Sexually transmitted infections
* RFT - LFT
* Pregnancy

USE:
Tenofovir + Emtricitabine (Truvada) orally, daily.

39
Q

When do you start Antiretroviral therapy

A
  • Reduces morbidity and mortality regardless of CD4 cell count, so it is recommended for all people with HIV infection.
  • For patients without opportunistic or co-infections, start antiretroviral
    therapy as soon as possible.
  • Once started, treatment should be continued indefinitely without
    interruption, unless oral therapy cannot be taken, or severe toxicity develops.
39
Q

Guidelines before starting antiretroviral therapy in Australia:

A

HIV antibody - antigen
* CD4 cell count
* Plasma HIV RNA (viral load)
* HIV genotypic resistance as soon as possible after diagnosis
* Hepatitis B and C virus serology
* FBE – RFT – LFT
* FBS and serum lipids
* Serum cryptococcal antigen if CD4 cell count is less than 100 cells/ microlitre
* Tests to exclude opportunistic and co-infections if the patient is symptomatic.

40
Q

Pregnancy and HIV

A
  • Risk of transmission: 15 to 25%
  • Antiretroviral therapy given to the mother during pregnancy
    and to the infant post delivery
  • Caesarean section delivery
  • Exclusive formula feeding.
40
Q

HIV antiviral therapy

A

Dolutegravir + abacavir + lamivudine= Triumeq
* Tenofovir alafenamide + emtricitabine + bictegravir = Biktarvy
* Tenofovir alafenamide + emtricitabine +elvitegravir + cobicistat = Genvoya

41
Q

HIV Infant management

A
  • 4-week course of oral zidovudine prophylaxis for all HIV-exposed infants
  • Started ORALLY or IV as soon after birth as possible, within 6 hours of delivery
42
Q

DX of HIV in Infant

A

During pregnancy, the foetus passively acquires maternal HIV
antibodies across the placenta – so Elisa/WB will be (+)

  • It can take up to 12 to 18 months for an infant to clear these
    maternal antibodies.
43
Q

HIV post- exposure prophylaxis

A

LOW RISK:
* Zidovudine + Lamivudine 12 hourly for 4 weeks

HIGH RISK: (ASAP)
* Zidovudine + Lamivudine + Indinavir within 8 hrs for 6 weeks

MONITORING at 0,4,6,12,24 and 52 weeks.
