The Stages ofHIV
Infection
• Primary Infection (Acute/ Recent HIV Infection, Acute HIV
Syndrome)

Lymphocytes/mm3)
• HIV Symptomatic (CDC Category B: 200-499 CD4+ T
Lymphocytes/mm3)

Lymphocytes/mm3)

his illness, and has not been eating or sleeping well.

What is HIV?
•Human
Immunodeficiency
Virus, or HIV, is a
sexually transmitted
virus that attacks the
human body’s immune
system.
• Invades helper T-cells/
CD4 cells Via Electron Micrograph by
NIH, 2009
16.

•Acquired Immune
Deficiency Syndrome
(AIDS)

immune system can
no longer fight
infection

prone to life-
threatening illnesses
Window Period

symptoms or signs

the blood and other
body fluids = Infectious

(x) antibodies
20.

two

short flu-like illness

(seroconversion)
21.
Stage 2 (ClinicallyAsymptomatic or Early/ mild stage)

less than one year to 15
years or more
• 5 to 10% = With health
problems
• Another 5 to 10% =
Asymptomatic
• T-Helper cells =
infected and die
22.
Stage 3 (SymptomaticHIV infection or Intermediate/ Moderate stage)
• Time frame: months to years; 4 or 5 years on average
• immune system becomes increasingly damaged (Mild
symptoms frequent, severe and longer lasting)
• Opportunistic infections/ Cancer
• Multi-system disease
23.
Other symptoms
• Lack of energy
• Weight loss
• Frequent fevers and sweats
• Persistent or frequent yeast infections (oral or
vaginal)
• Persistent skin rashes or flaky skin
• Pelvic inflammatory disease in women that does
not respond to treatment

• Difficult or painful swallowing
• Mental symptoms such as confusion and
forgetfulness
• Severe and persistent diarrhea
• Fever
• Vision loss
• Nausea, abdominal cramps, and vomiting
• Weight loss and extreme fatigue
• Severe headaches
24.
Stage 4 (Progressionfrom HIV to AIDS or Late/ Severe AIDS)
• Time frame: Usually less than two years, unless treatment is
available
• CD4 count is less than 200 cells/mm3
• Immune system (very weak) Vulnerability No treatment
DEATH

PRIORITY NURSING CAREAND TOP
OPPURTUNISTIC INFECTION
Educate the patient of proper hygienic practices to
prevent cross-contamination infection.
Educate the patient of the opportunistic infections and
how to prevent it.
Emphasize the proper ideal lifestyle to reduce further
decrease of the immune system.
GM
Risk for infection related to insufficient knowledge to
avoid exposure to pathogens.
• Note the risk factors for occurrence of infection
• Stress and educate the patient proper handwashing techniques.
• Educate the patient about isolation from others.
• Stress the importance of safe sex practices.
• Review nutritional needs
• Involve the client in community education programs geared to increase
awareness of spread/prevention of communicable diseases

Knowledge deficit regarding the disease process
• Determine client’s ability to learn • Review dietary needs (high protein, High calorie)
and ways to improve intake when depression
• Provide a conducive environment, paced interferes
conversation, allow for feedback

• Present information out of sequence, if necessary, exercise
dealing first with the material that is most
anxiety-producing • Trace previous contacts
• Provide positive reinforcement (be more active/ • Know support system of client (family)
excel on work or with family ties than focusing on
risky behavior) • Emphasize compliance with drug regimen

expectations
• Encourage abstinence or monogamous
relationships and use of latex condoms • Review modes of transmission of disease
• Prescription of anti-retroviral/ anteroviral drugs

Editor's Notes
#3 “Beginning of aids” Around this time a number of theories emerged about the possible cause of these opportunistic infections and cancers. Early theories included infection with cytomegalovirus, the use of amyl nitrite or butyl nitrate 'poppers', and 'immune overload'. Because there was so little known about the transmission of what seemed to be a new disease, there was concern about contagion, and whether the disease could by passed on by people who had no apparent signs or symptoms. Knowledge about the disease was changing so quickly that certain assumptions made at this time were shown to be unfounded just a few months later.
#4 The NAPCC focuses on six activities: surveillance, health education, training of health workers, counseling, screening of blood units and strengthening of diagnostic facilities. This integrated program has identified three long-term goals: to reduce transmission of HIV infection to prevent development of STD complicationsto reduce the impact of HIV infection.56 Issues in Management of STDs in Family Planning SettingsMid-term goals of the program are to:monitor the incidence of infection among identified sentinel groups and the general population continuouslyimplement mandatory HIV screening of all blood productspromote safe sexual behavior, in particular condom usagepromote disinfection practices for skin piercing instrumentspromote health education among individuals at high risk for STDs and HIV/AIDS and among thegeneral populationIntroduction of Genital Tract Infection Services at the Fertility Care CenterFollowing training, genital tract infection services were introduced at the Fertility Care Center (FCC) of the University of the Philippines/Philippine General Hospital and Reproductive Health Care Center. The GTI program has five components:history taking/screening/risk assessmentclinical diagnosislaboratory diagnosistherapeutic management counseling
#6 In June 2011, there were 178 new HIV Absero-positive individuals confirmed by the STD/AIDS Cooperative Central Laboratory (SACCL) and reported to the HIV and AIDS Registry (Table 1). This was a 63% increase compared to the same period last year (n=109 in 2010) [Figure 1].Most of the cases (94%) were males. The median age was 28 years (age range:15-58 years). The 20-29 year (60%) age-group had the most number of cases. Sixty-two percent (111) of the reported cases were from the National Capital Region (NCR). Reported mode of transmission was sexual contact (173). Five did not report mode of transmission [Table 2]. Males having sex with other Males (83%) were the predominant type of sexual transmission [Figure 2]. Most (99%) of the cases were still asymptomatic at the time of reporting [Figure 3]. There were no reported deaths for this month.
