A
cardiovascular disease, and diabetes
7
Q

HIV Patho: HIV cosnsits of a viral core contianing viral RNA surrounded by an envelope cosisiting of protruding
A
glycoproteins
16
Q
HIV Patho: Virusees target cells with
A
CD4 receptors, which are expressed on surface of T Lymphocytes, Monocytes, Dendritic Cells, and Brain Microglia
17
Q
HIV Patho: Stage 0, known as acute/recent infection, attacks T Cells how?
A
USe chemokine cell receptor molecule CCR5 to entry to T cells in addition to CD4 REceptors
18
Q
HIV Patho Life Cycle: (1) Attachment / Binding Stage
A
First step, GP 120 and GP 41 glycoproteins of HIV bind with CCR5 which results in fusion of HIV with CD4
19
Q
HIV Patho Life Cycle: (2) Uncoating / Fusion
A
Two strands of RNA nd three vital enzymes (reverse transcriptase, integrase and protease) emptied in here
20
Q
HIV Patho Life Cycle:(3) DNA Syntehsis:
A
HIV changes its genetic material from RNA to DNA
21
Q
HIV Patho Life Cycle: (4) Integration
A

22
Q
HIV Patho Life Cycle: (5) Transcription
A
When Cf4 T is acivated, DNA forms isngle stranded RNA which builds new viruses
23
Q

Five
31
Stages of HIV Infection: Period from infection with HIV to development of HIV specific antibodies is known as
primary infection or acute HIV infection and is part of stage 0
32
Stages of HIV Infection:Acute HIV infection is the inerval between
appearance of detectable HIV RNA and first detection of antibodies
33
Stages of HIV Infection:Primary or acute infection is characterized by
high levels of viral replication, widespread dissemination of HIV throughout the body, and destruction of CD4 T Cells.
34
Stages of HIV Infection:What is Viral Set Point?
The amount of virus in the body after the initial immune response subsides
Results in equilivrium betwee HIV levels and the immune response.
35
Stages of HIV Infection: The higher the set point, the poorer the
prognosis
36
Stages of HIV Infection:Stage 2 occurs when
CD4 T Lymphocytes are between 200 and 499 stages.
37
Stages of HIV Infection:Stage 3 occurs when
count drops bellow 200 cells . At this point, patient is considered to have AIDS for survillence purposes.

39
Primary Infection: Symptoms are
none to flulike syndrome
40
Primary Infection: WIndow PEriod is
lack of HIV antibodies
41

fall
49

Immune system is significantly impaired
54
Gerontology Considerations: what percentage of populcation over 50 hasHIV?
25%
55
Gerontology Considerations: Reasons for high number of cases in this population?
Unprotected Intercourse
Dont consider themselves a risk
Social bias toward homosexuality
MAy use IV drugs
May have received HIV infected blood before 1985
REduction in immune system function
56
HIV Tests: What is used to determine if HIV infection is recent or ongoing?
Serologic Testing Algorithm (STARHS)
57
HIV Tests: What are the three types of HIV diagnostic tests?
Anti-body tests, antigen/antibody tests, and nucleic acid (rna) tests
58
HIV Tests: Antibody test detect
antibodies, not HIV itself
59
HIV Tests: Antigen and RNA Tests directly test
HIV
60
HIV Tests: Antigen/Antibody tests detect infection in blood before
Antibody tests
61
HIV Tests: Follow up testing is performed if
the intial test result is positive to ensure a correct diagnosis
62
HIV Tests: HIV Follow Up Tests Include
Antidifferentiation Tests
HIV-1 Nucleic Acid Tests
63
HIV Tests: What is the EIA test?
Antibodies are detected, resulting positive results and marking the end of the window period
64
HIV Tests: What is the Western Blot?
Also detects antibodies to HIV, used to confirm EIA
65
HIV Tests: What is VIral Load?/
Measures HIV RNA in the plasma
66
HIV Tests: What is CD4/Cd8 Test
Markers found on Lymphocytes. HIV Kills CD4 cells which results in significantly impaired immune system
67
HIV Tests: What is OraQuick Test?
In-home HIV Test
68
HIV Tests: Viral Load Tests use
targeet amplification methods to quantify HIV RNA or DNA levels in teh plasma .
This measures plasma HIV RNA levels
69
HIV Tests: RT-PCR is also used to detect
HIV in high-risk seronegative poeple before antibodies are measurable to confirm a positive EIA
70
HIV Tests: Virial Load is better predictor of the risk of HIV disease progression than CD4 count because
lower the viral load, the longer the time to aids diagnosis and the longer the survivial time.
71
Treatment of HIV Infection: Overreaching goal of ART is to
suppress HIV replication to a level below which drug-resistance mutations do not emerge
72
Treatment of HIV Infection: Optimal Viral Suppression is defined as
viral load persistently below the level of detection.
73
Treatment of HIV Infection: Achieving viral suppression requires use of ART with at least two or three more drugs and should occur within
12-25 weeks.
74
Treatment of HIV Infection: Different drug classes of ART target
some of the stpes in the HIV/host cycle
75
Treatment of HIV Infection: Six Classes of drugs include
Nucleoside/Nucleotide Reverse TRanscriptase Inhibitors
Non-Nucleoside Reverse TRanscriptase Inhibitors
Protease Inhibitors
Fusion Inhibitors
CCR5 Antagonist
Integrase Strand TRasnfer Inhibitors
76
Treatment of HIV Infection: Adverse Effects associated with all HIV treatment regimens include
Hepatotoxicity
Nephrotoxicity
Osteopenia
along with increased risk of cardiovascular disease
77
Treatment of HIV Infection: Many of the antiretroviral agents may cause
fat reditrubition syndrome and metabolic alterations such as dyslipidemia and insulin resistance
78
Drug REsistance: Two major components of ART resistance and they are
1. Transmission of drug-resistant HIV at the time of intial infection and
2. Selective drug resistance in patietns who are receiving non-suppressive regimens
79
Drug REsistance: Genotypic assays detect
drug-resistant mutations present in relevant viral genes while
80
Drug REsistance: Phenotypic measures
ability of a virus to grow in different concentrations of ART drugs
81
Drug REsistance: Genotypic is preferred because of
lower cost, more rapid turnaround time, the assays ability to detect mixtures of wild tpe and resistant virus and relative ease of interpreting test results

rapid restortion of organism specific immune response to infections that cause either the deterioration of a treated infection or new presentation
