You can look at country-specific data on incidence, risk, and treatment. www.cdc.gov/hiv/topics/surveillance/ is the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention website with HIV/AIDS statistics and surveillance information. www.vdh.virginia.gov/Epidemiology/DiseasePreve ntion/Programs/HIV-AIDS/index.htm is the Virginia Department of Health website with the most recent surveillance information for the state. August 2006 CDC revised estimated annual new HIV infections in US to 56,300 annually Since 1993, decreasing pediatric infections Decreasing AIDS deaths = increasing prevalence Minority populations disproportionately affected Increasing heterosexual transmission, increasing women especially in southeast US 10% new cases in people over age 50 Diagnosis LATE in spectrum of infection persists September 2006 CDC recommended change in testing approach with goal to decrease late diagnosis 1985 CDC case definition for AIDS – did not include some diagnoses that women get more than males 1993 – jump in cases because CDC case definition for AIDS was revised to include more conditions that result from HIV immune compromise, including pulmonary TB and invasive cervical cancer 1996 – death rate decreasing, Prevalence or number of people living with AIDS diagnosis increasing 2010 - New cases and deaths continue to be higher in people of color 1981 – First cases of Pneumocystis Pneumonia and Kaposi’s Sarcoma in young gay males identified – common factor of immune suppression identified 1985 – Test for HIV Antibody approved by FDA 1987 – Zidovudine - AZT - approved for HIV treatment 1993 – ACTG 076 Results Released early – giving pregnant women AZT decreases risk of HIV infection in the baby – becomes standard of care 1995 – Combination therapy in clinical trials improves viral suppression and improves patient outcomes, decreased opportunistic infections and decreased hospitalizations, HIV/AIDS death rate plummets, increased life expectancy Prior to 1995 – only 4 medications available – gave one at a time 1995 – Protease Inhibitors available – new category of antiretroviral medications SMART Study – ended early in 2007 – group randomized to stop HIV medication had more cardiovascular adverse events than those on HIV medications 1985 – Treatment options limited, patients concerned about side effects, often avoided medications, high death rate 1993 – ACTG 076 showed benefit to baby by treating pregnant HIV+ women 1995 – Combination therapy effective, Recommendation treat all HIV+ patients early in infection 2000 – Cohort studies data: safe to wait until CD4 around 350 to treat SMART study – Strategic Management of AntiRetroviral Therapy – large international study, patients with CD4>350 randomized to start/ continue medications, or to stop medications. 2007 – SMART study ended early, group that stopped medications had more cardiovascular adverse events than those on medication. Analysis of metabolic parameters ongoing. 2009 – Test and treat theoretical discussion: What if everyone HIV infected immediately was put on antiretroviral medications? Granich, Reuben M, et al, Universal voluntary HIV testing with immediate antiretroviral therapy as a strategy for elimination of HIV transmission: a mathematical model, January 2009, The Lancet Practical concerns: Access to care; Paying for medications; Medication adherence National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) of the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) issued a press release on May 12, 2011, announcing the results of HPTN 052 “A Randomized Trial to Evaluate the Effectiveness of Antiretroviral Therapy plus Primary Care versus HIV Primary Care Alone to Prevent the Sexual Transmission of HIV-1 in Serodiscordant Couples” Conclusion: Treating HIV-infected People with Antiretrovirals Protects Partners from Infection Concerns: Who will pay for testing and treatment? Goal 1 – Reduce New Infections Goal 2 – Increase Access to Care and Improving Outcomes ◦ Includes strategies to improve linkage to care, maintain patients in care, and increase number and diversity of providers Goal 3 – Reduce Disparities ◦ By end of 2011 HRSA wants to collect data to “calculate community viral load” as burden of illness ◦ Increase coordination of state and federal programs Acute Asymptomatic Early Sx AIDS 4-6 wks 10-12 years months-yrs ______/___________/________/______ Most people will have HIV infection for 10 to 12 years or longer before developing AIDS diagnosis. Goal is to have HIV-infected people enter care before they develop AIDS and get on medication to prevent AIDS and promote normal life span Opportunistic Infections and Cancers Wasting AIDS-Related Dementia T4 (CD4) count < 200 Any HIV+ patient who does not have one of these illnesses or conditions just has HIV infection and does not have AIDS CD4+ T-Lymphocytes “Conductor” of the Immune System “Orchestra” Normally 600-1200 Can be lower due to illness, stress, pregnancy Gradually decrease over the course of HIV Infection Can increase with ARV therapy Usually checked every 3 months outpatient Cost around $150 Indirect Measure of Viral Replication in the body lymph nodes, CNS, GI tract Higher with acute illness, immunization, also seroconversion or reinfection Higher viral load - increased risk of disease progression (>100,000) Lower viral load - decreased risk of disease progression (<100,000) Undetectable viral load - means ARV medications are working, NOT that virus is gone Usually checked every 3 months, cost about $180 Combination therapy is better than monotherapy. HAART - Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy - 3 or 4 drugs, usually from 2 or 3 classes of antiretrovirals. When to start therapy depends on CD4 count, HIV viral load, patient symptoms, and patient ability to be adherent to medication regimen. When resistance develops drugs should be changed or added based on HIV genotype resistance profile. Antiviral therapy ideally begun outpatient. Once started, can therapy be safely interrupted? SMART Study data: Treatment Interruption is NOT recommended Expensive: $600 or more per month In US only Zidovudine, Lamivudine and Didanosine are available as generics, still very expensive ADAP is AIDS Drug Assistance Program which is federally funded, administered by state Health Departments. HIV+ patients who meet income guidelines and have no insurance can receive ADAP medications at no cost Go to website for National Alliance of State & Territorial AIDS Directors www.nastad.org for current ADAP Watch update Over 8,000 patients in 13 states are on waiting lists for medication Almost 700 in Virginia on waiting list States have reduced number of drugs available on ADAP formulary, and decreased the income guidelines, to help control costs Pharmaceutical company Patient Assistance Programs are helping bridge the gap HIV HIV Sexually Transmitted Diseases Each year, there are approximately 19 million new STD infections, and almost half of them are among youth aged 15 to 24.4 In 2004, an estimated 4,883 young people aged 13-24 in the 33 states reporting to CDC were diagnosed with HIV/AIDS, representing about 13% of the persons diagnosed that year. Hepatitis C HIV Sexually Transmitted Diseases Tuberculosis Hepatitis C HIV Sexually Transmitted Diseases The TB skin test, also referred to as PPD, is used to determine if a person has TB infection in the body. A person can have TB infection without having active disease – they have no symptoms, they are not sick, and cannot transmit TB to anyone else. Active TB disease can be prevented by taking prophylactic medication. HIV+ patients have increased risk of becoming infected with TB, then once infected HIV+ patients have a 1 in 8 risk every year of developing active TB infection; compare with HIV Uninfected patients who have 1 in 10 lifetime risk of developing active TB Many HIV+ patients also have other risks for TB infection including homelessness, IV drug use, incarceration Tuberculosis HIV Hepatitis C Sexually Transmitted Diseases Substance Abuse Tuberculosis HIV Hepatitis C Incarceration Sexually Transmitted Diseases Substance Abuse Poverty Tuberculosis HIV Hepatitis C Incarceration Sexually Transmitted Diseases Substance Abuse Mental Illness Poverty Tuberculosis HIV Hepatitis C Incarceration Sexually Transmitted Diseases Substance Abuse Homelessness Mental Illness Poverty Tuberculosis HIV Sexually Transmitted Diseases Substance Abuse Incarceration Hepatitis C HIV programs are categorical medicine, but HIV does not take place in a vacuum. HIV+ patients may have their care complicated by all the factors in the preceding diagram Tests for presence of ANTIBODY, NOT directly for virus. Many of those infected produce detectable antibody by 28 days after infection. 95% have detectable antibody in 3 months. CDC: By 6 months after infection, it would be rare for anyone infected not to have detectable antibody.
