OBJECTIVES: understand the principles of managing HIV in treatment-experienced patients
Review medical and social history
ARV treatment history
Results of previous resistance tests
HIV RNA, CD4 changes over time
Medical conditions: Co-morbidities, mental health disorders, HIV-related events
Adherence, tolerability, concomitant medications, drug–drug or drug–food interactions
Determine what factors may be barriers (i.e. social, economic, psychological)
Perform resistance testing
OBJECTIVES: compare and contrast the pharmacologic characteristics of the antiretroviral agents
OBJECTIVES: recognize key concepts of antiretroviral drug resistance
OBJECTIVES: select a viable regimen in a patient experiencing treatment failure based on relevant clinical factors
2 fully active agents with one that has a high genetic barrier
if not, give 3 active agents
OBJECTIVES: describe the appropriate action for post-exposure prophylaxis for the prevention of HIV
emtricitabine/TDF + raltegravir BID
or
emtricitabine/TDF + dolutegravir daily
only if > 72 hours
Types of HIV exposure requiring post exposure prophylaxis
percutaneous (needlestick)
contact of mucus membrane or on-intact skin
sexual
How soon should someone start post exposure prophylaxis?
ASAP and within 3 days
OBJECTIVES: recommend the appropriate regimen for pre-exposure prophylaxis when indicated, including necessary lab testing
indicated for
ppl w HIV positive partner
bacterial STI in the past 6 months
inconsistent or no use of condom
HIV positive injecting partner or sharing injection equipment
negative HIV test
Medications for Pre Exposure Prophylaxis
OBJECTIVES: understand the principles of managing HIV in pregnancy
Dolutegravir is the way to go (esp bc w morning sickness, a once a day drug is the way to go)
recommended to ALL pregnant women with HIV ASAP
Intrapartum management
IV zidovudine:
NOT for <50 copies
recommended for >1000 copies
C-section at 28 weeks if
1000 copies near time of delivery
Neonatal Care
breast feeding is supported
Maraviroc
Ibalizumab
Fostemasvir
Lenacapravir
Virologic response
attaining and maintaining HIV RNA <200
Virologic failure
inability to achieve and maintain HIV RNA <200
Virologic blip
as isolated HIV RNA level (>50 copies) that is followed by a return to virologic suppression
Low-level viremia
consecutive or consistent detectable HIV RNA
