Goal of Antiretroviral Therapy
To  the length/quality of life by
• Reducing the Viral Load (VL)
• Preventing infection of new cells
• Preventing further damage to the immune
system ( CD4)
AIM:VL<50 copies/ml and CD4>>200
BHIVA Guidelines
When to start therapy?
• VL >30,000 & CD4 350-500
• CD4 <350
• Symptomatic
Starting Tx early
• Drug toxicities
• Drug resistance/limit future drug options
Delayed Treatment
• Limit capacity for immune restoration
Antiretroviral Agents (HAART)
Divided into 4 groups
• Nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitors (NRTIs)
• Protease Inhibitors (PIs)
• Non- nucleoside reverse transcriptase
inhibitors (NNRTIs)
• Fusion Inhibitors

NRTIs
• 1st drugs licensed
• Backbone of HAART
• Similar in structure to nuclesides present in
HIV RNA
• During viral replication – become
incorporated into the genome, competing
with cellular nucleosides
• Bring about chain termination & incomplete
replication
Zidovudine (AZT)
Lamivudine (3TC)
• Dose: 300mg -1000mg
daily
• Metabolism – hepatic
and renal
• Reduces risk of vertical
transmission of HIV
• Good CNS penetration
• Dose 150mg BD
• 90% renal excretion
• Hepatitis B
Side Effects
• Bone Marrow
Suppression
• Nausea
• Headache
• Insomnia
• Myalgia
Side Effects
• Pancreatitis
• Abnormal LFTs
• Peripheral neuropathy
• Headache
Emtricitabine (FTC) Tenofovir (TEN)
• Dose 200mg OD
• Take with/without food.
• CrCl <50ml/min – dose
adjustment
• Hepatitis B
Side Effects
• Headaches, diarrhoea,
nausea
•  CK – muscle pain &
weakness
•  Tg,  blood sugar, 
WCC & RBC
• Disturbance of liver,
kidney & pancreas
• Dose 245mg OD
• Take with food
• Hepatitis B
Side Effects
• Hypophosphatemia
• Diarrhoea, nausea,
vomiting
• Pancreatitis
• Renal failure, acute
renal failure, proximal
tubulopathy
Protease Inhibitors
Act on the HIV Protease Enzyme – prevent
production of essential proteins.
Benefits:
• Dramatic decline in clinical progression of HIV
disease/related deaths followed PI introduction in
1996
Drawback:
• Pill Burden
• Long term metabolic complications
Cholesterol/Lipodystrophy Syndrome/Diabetes
• Food/fluid restrictions
• DRUG INTERACTIONS
Ritonavir (RTN)
• Dose Escalation
600mg bd
• 50% discontinuation
rate
Side Effects
• N/V/D
• Perioral/Peripheral
Neuropathy
• Malaise
• Fever
Atazanavir
Azapeptide PI
Superior lipid profile to other
PIs
Dose: 400mg OD
Or 300mg OD Ataz/100mg
OD Ritonavir
Boosted if coprescribed with
Ten or EFV or previous PI
exposure
With food
Side effects
Diarrhoea, nausea, vomiting
(taken with RTN)
Tipranavir

• Active against HIV 1
strains which
demonstrate resistance
to other PIs
• Dose: 500mg Bd
Tip/200mg Bd Ritonavir
Side Effects
• Diarrhoea, nausea,
vomiting (taken with
RTN)
Atazanavir
• Azapeptide PI
• Superior lipid profile to
other PIs
• Dose: 400mg OD
Or 300mg OD Ataz/100mg
OD Ritonavir
• Boosted if coprescribed
with Ten or EFV or
previous PI exposure
• With food
Side effects
• Diarrhoea, nausea,
vomiting (taken with
RTN)
Drug Interactions - PIs
• PIs metabolised by CYP 450 isoenzyme system
• Coadministration of enzyme inducers may 
levels of PIs – risk of resistance (eg Rifampicin)
• Coadministration of enzyme inhibitors may 
levels of Pis – risk of toxicity
• PIs inhibit CYP3A4 –  levels of other drugs
RTN>>IND=NFV=AMP>>SQV
(eg/Pethidine/Antiepileptics)
• Some PIs induce isoenzymes  levels of other
drugs (eg Methadone/O.C.)
NNRTIs
• Act on reverse transcriptase enzyme –
preventing HIV RNA from being processed
• Simplier to take than PIs/no food
restrictions
• Resistance develops quickly – interclass
resistance
• ?delayed toxicities
Nevirapine (NVP)
Efavirenz (EFV)
• Dose: 200mg OD x 14/7,
then 200mg BD
• Metabolised by and
inducer of CYP 450
• Dose 600mg OD
• Induces and inhibits
CYP 450
• Teratogen
Side Effects
• Rash
• Fever
• Nausea
• Hepatotoxicity
Side Effects
• Dizziness/Headache
• Insomnia
• Increased Dreaming
• Irritability
• Decreased
Concentration
Drug Interactions NNRTIs
• NNRTIs metabolised by CYP 450
isoenzyme system
• Coadministration of enzyme inducers may
 levels of NNRTIs -  risk of resistance
• Coadministration of enzyme inhibitors may
 levels of NNRTIs – risk of toxicity
• NNRTIs induce isoenzymes  levels of
other drugs
Patient Monitoring
• Baseline – VL/CD4/FBC/LFTs
• 1 Month – VL/CD4/FBC/LFTs
• Then every 3 Months – VL/CD4/FBC/LFTs
Virologic Failure
• VL > 50copies/ml on 2 occasions more than
one month apart
Reasons
• ? Patient Adherence(<95%)/Intolerance
• ? Pharmacological Issues
• ? Poor Pharmacokinetics
Perform Resistance Test and change therapy
accordingly
HIV Resistance
Reduced Susceptibility of Virus to ART
• Virus replicates in the presence of drugs –
can result in development of mutations
• Results in changes in structure/function of
protease & RT enzymes –less susceptible to
drugs
HIV Resistance Testing
• Two types -both require VL > 1000copies/ml
Phenotypic Assay:
• Measures ability of a HIV isolate from patient to
grow in presence of specific drugs
• Time consuming & expensive
Genotypic Assay:
• RT/Protease genes from patients virus sequenced
to determine mutations within these genes
• Insensitive to presence of minor variants
