HIV-1
tARGET SITE for HIV?
CD4 receptors
What cells recognise MHC2 antigen presenting cell?
CD4 t lymphocytes
Name One major hallmark of HIV infection that promotes viral replication and drives CD4+ T cell depletion.
Chronic Immune Activation
Normal CD4 range?
500 to 1600
What CD4 count puts you at risk of opportunistic infections?
Less than 200
When does rapid replication of HIV occur?
Early and very late infection
When is a new generation of HIV replicated?
Every 6 to 12 hours
Within how many days is the HIV infection estasblished?
WIthin 3 days of entry
when does primary HIV infection present?
Onset 2-4 weeks after infection
Fever Rash (maculopapular) Myalgia Pharyngitis Headache/aseptic meningitis
Primar yHIV
What type of HIV infection is occuring with ongoing viral replication, ongoing CD4 count depletion, ongoing immune activation?
Asymptomatic HIv infection
an infection caused by a pathogen that does not normally produce disease in a healthy individual. It uses the “opportunity” afforded by a weakened immune system to cause disease
Opportunistic infections (occur in late disease with high viral load)
Wjhat organism causes pneumocystis pneumonia HIV?
Pneumocystis jiroveci
What is CD4 threshold in pneumocystis pneumonia caused by HIV?
lESS THAN 200
What sign is present in pneumocystis pneumonia?
Exercise desaturation
: insidious onset
