Q
Screening/Diagnosis
A
- Everyone once between 19-64 yo
- High-risk for infection annually
- High-Risk: sexual behaviors, injecting drugs, STIs/TB hx
4
Q
Acute HIV
A
- Flu-like sxs (occurs in 50-70%)
- About 2 weeks post-infection high enough viral load for HIV RNA/p24 antigen to be connected (use HIV1/2 antigen/antibody screening)
- Positive screening + positive confirmatory = HIV diagnosis

16
Q
INSTIs
A
- Integrase strand transfer inhibitors
- Works at stage 4
- Drugs end in “-gravir”

17
Q
Stages 5/6
A
- Replication
- Assembly

21
Q
Preferred ART Therapy
A
- 2 NRTIs and 1 INSTI
- Descovy or Truvada are common for 2 NRTI backbone
- NEVER use lamivudine and emtricitabine together (redundant)
- If renally insufficient, harder to use combo products (use individuals)
22

- Megace ES (megesterol) is a progestin that also stimulates appetite
44
IRIS
- Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome
- Worsening of underlying condition after starting ART (unmasks condition)

47
PEP
- Start ASAP (w/in 72 hours) no matter then circumstance
- Baseline HIV test, follow-up in 4-6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months
