Two types HIV-1 and Hiv-2. In the US, CDC estimates that Over 1.2 million persons aged 13 yrs and older are living with HIV infections including 156,300 (12.8%) wo are not even aware that they are infected. Deaths in US: Estimated 13,712 people with AIDs dx died in 2012, and ~ 658,507 people with AIDS diagnosis have died overall. HIV/AIDS Three Phases 1. Acute: 2-3 weeks. Flu-like symptoms. HA, Fever, Fatigues. 2. Chronic: Could take several years. 3. Terminal (AIDS):- This is when CD4 counts are depleted. HIV/AIDS – Transmission/Spread HIV/AIDS STATS in the US HIV/AIDS:- Prevention and Cure HIV is not curable at the moment, but it is controllable and manageable. Protection is key. Avoidance of IV drug usage Avoidance of multiple sexual relations Adhering to SOP’s at work places (clinicians) Clinical Question How to Treat HIV/AIDS in patients with CD4T cell count < 200 HAART Highly Active Anti-Retroviral Therapy ( commonly known as ART Recommended for every HIV patients Commitment is Key ADHERENCE IS VERY CRUCIAL. Therapy includes 2 NRTI (Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitor) plus NNRTI (Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase) OR Ritonavir Boosted Protease Inhibitors (PI) OR INSTI (Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitors) CCR5 Antagonist Fusion Inhibitors Indinavir Study A Controlled Trial of two Nucleoside Analogues plus Indinavir in Persons with HIV infections and CD4 Cell counts of 200 per Cubit mL or Less. In this study total of 1156 patients not previously treated with lamivudine or PI’s were stratified according to CD4 counts. They were randomly assigned to receive A. Zidovudine 600mg and lamivudine 300mg OR Treatment A plus indinavir 2400mg. (Stavudine could be sub for zidovudine) Goal of the study was to accessed the efficacy and safety of 3 drug regimen containing indinavir. Indinavir Study Results N Engl J Med 1997; 337: 725–33 Indinavir Study Conclusion. Study showed a clinical superiority of the three-drug regimen containing indinavir (a PI), lamivudine, and zidovudine, over the two-nucleoside combination alone in patient previously on zidovudine (NRTI) plus CD4 of less or equal to 200. Proportion of patient whose HIV disease progressed to AIDs decreased from 1% to 6% Increased in CD4 counts for both persisted above base-line values seen with both arms, but superior response in the indinavir group. 91 AIDs defining events. With 60 on other group and 31 on indinavir group. N Engl J Med 1997; 337: 725–33 Study 2: Early ART Trial Early Antiretroviral Therapy Reduces AIDs Progression/Death in individuals with Acute Opportunistic Infections: A Multicenter Randomized Strategy Trial The primary endpoint of this study was a 3-level,ordered, categorical variable: alive without AIDS progression and with HIV viral load <50 (best outcome) Alive w/o AIDS progression and with detectable HIV viral load >50 copies/mL (intermediate) AIDS progression or death (worst outcome) at any time. Secondary endpoint included clinical outcomes such as Death/AIDS progression independent of virology response, Virologic response independent of clinical endpoint. CD4 courts changes from baseline, safety and tolerability. Hospitalizations. Early ART Trial Results Early ART Trial Conclusion No significant difference in the primary endpoint However there was a significant difference favoring the early treatment group in the secondary outcome of AIDS progression/death. Impact seen in morbidity and mortality events in the first 6 months. Subjects in the early ART group spent less time with CD4 counts <50 or <100 an therefore the less vulnerable to AIDS-related complication. Cautious to generalized study to every country.

RW has completed his discharged Antibiotics. RW was using Bactroban as needed for reddish area around groin. RW uses Nystatin cream for rash around groin. RW is a Med box patient RW is very picky in his medications, and therefore treatment options especially antibiotics are very limited. Current HIV/AIDS Therapy Viread 300mg.

Plan: Continue Current Treatment. Get Lab works, then decide if other prophylaxis needed. Possible Changes Would have recommended the addition of statins. Discontinue the Doxycycline that was given to patient. Would recommend the Addition of Azithromycin for MAC prophylaxis. Continue Nystatin powder until gone for the groin area rash. PCP Changes.
