Objectives Describe two ways HIV can be transmitted Identify two laboratory tests used to assess HIV disease Describe the clinical progression of HIV Discuss the purpose of antiretroviral treatment
Slide 3-

What is HIV Human Immunodeficiency Virus HIV is a retrovirus that attacks the immune system. Its genetic material, RNA, must be converted in to DNA during replication. Over time, the immune system and the body loses its ability to fight the virus.
Slide 4-

HIV and the Immune System The CD4 cells coordinate a body’s immune response to an invader (bacteria, virus, etc.) BUT, when HIV enters CD4 cells for reproduction, it damages the CD4 cell, eventually killing it. The body’s immune system works hard making more CD4 cells Overtime, HIV destroys the CD4 cells faster than the immune system can make new ones So, HIV damages the very system that usually protects the body from infection.

HIV Transmission Perinatal transmission during pregnancy, labor and deliver, or breastfeeding Occupational exposure via needle stick or exposure to eyes, nose, or open wound Since 1981 there have been 57 documented cases of occupational transmission in the US Blood transfusion or organ donation from an HIV infected donor (rare in US)
Slide 11-

HIV Transmission HIV is NOT transmitted by casual contact Working or playing with an HIV positive person Closed mouth kissing Shaking hands Public pools Hugging Public toilet HIV is not transmitted by air, food, or mosquito and does not survive long outside the body.
Slide 12-

HIV Testing CDC recommends routine HIV testing for ALL patients: Aged 13-64 Initiating TB treatment Seeking treatment for STI’s Who are pregnant Repeat Screening Recommended Annually people at high risk Before beginning a new sexual relationship When clinically indicated After an occupational exposure
Slide 13-

HIV Testing Benefits of routine opt-out HIV testing Reduces the stigma of testing Reduces transmission Majority of people aware of their HIV status reduce behaviors that transmit infection Perinatal transmission can be prevented if mother’s HIV status is known Improves patient outcomes (with early diagnosis of HIV)

Slide 15-

HIV Laboratory Tests – CD4 Count CD4 count –measures state of a person’s immune function Adult values are approximately 500-1300 Used to determine stage of HIV progression Determines risk of opportunistic infection Historically guided decisions about antiretroviral therapy (ART)
Slide 16-

HIV Laboratory Tests – Viral Load Detects the amount of virus present High viral loads increase risk for disease progression and HIV transmission Monitors effectiveness of ART Goal of therapy is an undetectable viral load Used during acute infection to detect virus Measured by HIV-1 RNA PCR
Slide 17-

Clinical Progression Acute Retroviral Syndrome Two thirds of all patients experience symptoms Occurs 2-6 weeks after initial infection Symptoms last 2-4 weeks May be mistaken for influenza, mononucleosis, or other viral process During this period HIV virus is replicating rapidly and CD4 count decreases until the body’s immune response recovers CD4 cells and decreases viral load
Slide 18-

Clinical Progression Clinical Latency Virus is replicating at low levels CD4 cells are maintained at a healthy level Virus is transmittable This period may last for several years
Slide 19-

Clinical Progression Clinical symptoms will begin to develop at the end of this period as CD4 count falls and viral load increases. May include Bacillary angiomatosis (lesion on skin caused by infection with gram negative organism Persistent or resistant vulvovaginal candidiasis PID Cervical Dysplasia Hairy leukoplakia Herpes Zoster Fever or diarrhea lasting longer than one month
Slide 20-

AIDS AIDS is characterized by certain infections that take advantage of the body’s weakened immune system. A diagnosis of AIDS is made when an HIV positive patient has a CD4 count of less that 200 or 14% or the patient is diagnosed with an AIDS defining condition Progression from initial infection with HIV to advanced HIV/AIDS varies among people and can take several months to up to 10 years or more.
Slide 21-

Opportunistic Infections Opportunistic infections are infections that take advantage of a weakened immune system to cause more frequent or severe illness CDC identifies 29 infections Prophylactic drugs may be given to prevent illness for some conditions Other clinical options include Effective ART Vaccination Avoiding exposure to certain pathogens Disease treatment Preventing disease recurrence (secondary prophylaxis or chronic maintenance therapy)
Slide 22-

Clinical Progression
Slide 23-

What can we do?
Slide 24-

Antiretroviral Therapy Recommended for all HIV-positive people To prevent disease progression To prevent transmission of infections Strength of recommendation based on CD4 count Transmission risk See Guidelines for the Use of Antiretroviral Agents in HIV-1 Infected Adults and Adolescents available at http://www.aidsinfo.nih.gov/ for more info
Slide 25-

Confusing terminology? ART = Anti Retroviral Therapy ARV = Anti Retro Virals HAART = Highly Active Anti Retroviral Therapy Triple Therapy = Three Antiretrovirals “The Cocktail”
Slide 26-

Basic Facts about ARVs Always use 3 or more different ARV medications for therapy. Regimen should be selected by an experienced HCW. Other medications interact with ARVs. ARVs are divided into classes, each of which attacks HIV in a different way. New classes becoming available through clinical trials.
Slide 27-

HIV as a Chronic Disease ARVs change HIV from a terminal (fatal) disease to a “chronic disease” Examples of chronic diseases: Diabetes High blood pressure Asthma Schizophrenia
Slide 28-

Advantages of ARV Therapy Improved patient health Reduced illness Reduced hospitalisations Fewer deaths from AIDS
Slide 29-

Goals of Treatment Improve quality of life Reduce HIV-related morbidity and mortality Restore and/or preserve immunologic function Maximally and durably suppress HIV viral load Prevent HIV transmission
Slide 30-

How do ARVs control HIV? ARVs reduce the ability of the HIV virus to replicate In turn, this increases the ability of the body to fight disease Reduces the risk of HIV transmission HIV Replication Immune Response
Slide 31-

The Ideal ARV Good tolerability No toxicities Complete viral suppression No resistance
Slide 32-

Initial Treatment: Choosing Regimens 3 main categories: 1 NNRTI + 2 NRTIs 1 PI + 2 NRTIs 1 II + 2 NRTIs Combination of NNRTI, PI, or II + 2 NRTIs preferred for most patients Fusion inhibitor, CCR5 antagonist not recommended in initial ART Advantages and disadvantages to each type of regimen Individualize regimen choice
Slide 33-

Achievable…..? YES ARVs are able to significantly reduce viral load, allowing the immune system to recover followed by an increase in quality of life and reduction in morbidity and mortality BUT they are not perfect……….
Slide 34-

Managing Side Effects ‘Acceptable’ (transient, manageable) Versus ‘Unacceptable’ (severe, adverse reactions) …..but, ALL must be reported so that they can be managed appropriately
Slide 35-

Basic Facts about Adherence and ARV Therapy ARV blood concentrations must remain constant; low concentrations allow HIV to mutate. HIV mutations cause drug resistance. ARV medications must be taken every day otherwise they will not work. Things that can lower drug concentrations: Missing 1 or 2 ARV medication doses regularly Taking ARV medication late Taking ARVs with certain foods or other medications
Slide 36-

Treatment Adherence A patient’s ability to follow a prescribed treatment regimen Major factor in success of drug regimen Significant determinant of survival Willingness to start treatment and take medications exactly as directed Level of adherence affects how well ART decreases the HIV viral load Average US ART adherence rate is about 70%
Slide 37-

Treatment Adherence Factors associated with poor adherence Depression Active alcohol or drug use Low literacy Lack of social support (unstable social situation, chaotic lifestyle) Lack of support from partner Advance HIV infection Young age Disbelief in treatment efficacy Unstable housing Cognitive impairment Competing priorities Childcare, food and work
Slide 38-

Treatment Adherence Complexity of medication regimen Adverse drug effects Poor patient provider relationships Lack of resources Poor literacy Substance abuse Stigma Travel away from home Sleeping through doses Treatment fatigue Adherence should be assessed at each visit
Slide 39-

Treatment Adherence Strategies to improve adherence Choose once daily dosing if possible Avoid complex or poorly tolerated regimes Use fixed dose combinations if possible Use multidisciplinary approach Provide tools and support Reminder alarms Text message reminders Education and counseling Pill boxes
Slide 40-

Resistance Skipping doses of medications may cause the virus to mutate leading to strains of HIV that are resistant to medications Drug resistant strains can be transmitted Viral fitness: Ability of a virus to enter and destroy CD4 cell (caused by the number resistant mutations developed)
Slide 41-

Resistance Testing Genotype Amplifies and sequences HIV to look for mutations known to correlate with drug resistance. Most successful if viral load is above 1000 copies/ml Recommended as initial form of resistance testing Use to select effective ART Phenotype HIV reverse transcriptase and protease genes are spliced and created into a laboratory strain The strain is grown in the presence of escalating concentrations of ARV drugs Process takes 2-3 weeks and is costly Recommended for patients with complicated multidrug resistance patterns
Slide 42-

Take Home Messages: HIV 101 HIV infection is a treatable, chronic illness Routine HIV testing is essential not only for treatment of HIV but also for prevention ART improves quality of life and decreases Mortality Morbidity Risk of transmission to partners Adherence is key to ARV effectiveness
