HIV Life Cycle Illustration by David Klemm
Goals of Therapy & Strategies to Achieve Goals Improvement of quality of life Reduction of HIV-related morbidity and mortality  Restoration and/or preservation of immunologic function Maximal and durable suppression of viral load Selection of ARV regimen Preservation of future treatment options Rational sequencing of therapy Maximizing adherence Use of resistance testing in selected clinical settings Strategies Goals
Indications for  Antiretroviral Initiation TREAT >100K c/mL >350 cells/mm 3 Asymptomatic Defer therapy <100K c/mL >350 cells/mm 3 Asymptomatic Offer treatment;  pros vs cons Any value 200 to 350 cells/mm 3 Asymptomatic TREAT Any value <200 cells/mm 3 Asymptomatic AIDS TREAT Any value Any value Symptomatic (AIDS) Recommendation HIV RNA CD4 cell count Clinical Category
Benefits and Risks of  Deferred Therapy BENEFITS Avoid negative effects on quality of life Avoid drug-related toxicity Preserve future drug options Delay development of drug resistance Decrease total time on medications RISKS Possibility of irreversible immune system depletion Increased possibility of progression to AIDS Possible increased risk of HIV transmission

Case JB is a 35 y/o female HIV-infected patient who was diagnosed.  Her baseline CD4 count was 137 cells/mm 3  and HIV RNA viral load was 68,980 copies/mL.  PCP prophylaxis was initiated.  All other labs with normal limits.
Case What would you do next?   Defer therapy because she is not a candidate. Initiate therapy because her CD4 count is <200 cells/mm3. Initiate therapy because she has an AIDS defining illness.
Case What regimen would you initiate? Didanosine + Stavudine + Efavirenz Zidovudine + Stavudine + Efavirenz Zidovudine + Lamivudine + Lopinavir/r Abacavir + Tenofovir + Lamivudine

Mechanism of Action Nucleoside analogs (like AZT below) are activated after being phosphorylated so that they can  be incorporated into the viral DNA strand by reverse transcriptase. Since TDF is a nucleotide, it does  NOT  have to be phosphorylated prior to being incorporated into the growing viral DNA strand. After incorporation of  the NRTI, viral DNA  synthesis will be  terminated.

Case JB and her physician decided to initiate therapy because of her low CD4 count and high viral load.  Zidovudine + lamivudine + efavirenz was initiated.  Her CD4 cell count increased from 88 cells/mm3 to 167 cells/mm3 in 3 months.  Her viral load was undetectable.  Although she reports she takes her medications every day, she stated she recently began to feel fatigued and experiencing headaches.
Case Laboratory findings were suggestive that JB was anemic with a Hemoglobin of 7.4.  She was also found to be iron deficient. What could be the cause of JB’s anemia HIV Bactrim HIV medications
Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTIs) Inhibit reverse transcriptase   by a mechanism that is different from that of NRTIs nevirapine (NVP) delavirdine (DLV)  efavirenz (EFV)  Use caution when coadministering PIs (modify dose and  closely monitor in  order to minimize  P450 interactions  and complications) X I can stop that HIV reverse transcriptase! RT
Mechanism of Action These agents  directly bind to reverse transcriptase   to inhibit its making DNA from the HIV’s RNA. NEVER  use   NNRTIs  as  monotherapy  in order to ↓  development  of rapid  resistance!  RT X

Protease Inhibitors: Mechanism of Action Protease cleaves HIV precursor proteins (gag/pol polyproteins) into active proteins that are needed to  assemble a new, mature HIV virus. This enables new viral particles to “break off”  from infected host cells.  PIs prevent this cleavage and inhibit the assembly of new HIV viruses   within  infected host cells.

    Mechanism of ActionNucleoside analogs (like AZT below) are activated after being phosphorylated so that they can be incorporated into the viral DNA strand by reverse transcriptase. Since TDF is a nucleotide, it does NOT have to be phosphorylated prior to being incorporated into the growing viral DNA strand. After incorporation of the NRTI, viral DNA synthesis will be terminated.

Editor's Notes

  • #10 The Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Guidelines are based on sound science and recommend preferred and alternative regimens. Preferred regimens may be PI- or NNRTI-based in combination with an optimized backbone regimen typically containing dual nucleosides. Older HAART regimens required patients to adhere to complex dosing schedules involving multiples pills taken several times daily, whereas, the new HAART regimens have simplified dosing and pill schedules down to streamlined once daily fixed dose regimens, in order to facilitate better patient adherence.
