Learning Objectives
By the end of this session, participants should be able to:
Identify the main classes of ARV drugs available in Vietnam and explain their mechanisms of action
Explain the criteria for starting ART Identify the first line ARV regimens
4

(NRTI)
2. Non-nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase
Inhibitors (NNRTI)
3. Protease Inhibitors (PI)

6
Combination Pills Availablein Vietnam
AZT + 3TC = LAMZIDIVIR, Combivir
D4T + 3TC + NVP = D4T - FDC, NEVITRIO 30, Triamune, GPOvir
AZT + 3TC + NVP = AZT - FDC, LAMZITRIO
AZT + 3TC + ABC = ABATRIO, Trizivir

Review of HIV Lifecycle
HIV is an RNA “retrovirus” Virus containing RNA infects the cell Viral enzymes transcribe RNA to DNA
(reverse transcription) Viral DNA is integrated into the host
cell DNA Cell and viral mechanisms produce
viral proteins and viral RNA New virus is produced

Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NRTI)
Reverse transcriptase (RT) builds DNA from viral RNA by using human nucleotides
NRTI drugs, when present, will be inserted into the growing DNA chain
DNA chain containing NRTIs cannot accept new nucleotides
This blocks DNA chain production so HIV cannot produce new virus to infect new cells
10
Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors (NNRTI)
NNRTIs attach directly to the reverse transcriptase enzyme.
Enzyme with NNRTI attached cannot function normally
Production of viral DNA from RNA is blocked
Virus is unable to convert RNA into DNA, therefore unable to infect the cell and produce new virus
11
Site of Action of RTIs
ReverseTranscriptaseInhibitors(NRTI + NNRTI)

13
Protease Inhibitors (PI)
Infected cell produces large viral proteins (polyproteins)
Protease enzyme cleaves polyproteins into enzymes and structural proteins required to make new virus
PIs attach to and block protease enzyme
The virus particles produced are defective and inactive and are unable to infect new cells

Goals of ARV Therapy
Inhibit HIV replication• As low as possible (undetectable)• For as long as possible
Allow recovery of the immune system Prevent opportunistic infection Improve survival, health and quality
of life
17
Key Principle of ARV “Triple Therapy” (1)
A 3 drug regimen should be chosen for treatment based on the National ARV guidelines
Treatment with 1 or 2 drugs should not be started for standard treatment of HIV disease
Guidelines for Diagnosis and Treatment of HIV/AIDS, MOH 2009
18
Key Principle of ARV “Triple Therapy” (2)
“Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy” is 3-drug ARV therapy with
2 NRTI + NNRTI
or
2 NRTI + PI
22
When to Start ART?
ARV therapy is never an emergency Patients with high CD4 are not at risk
for OIs and can delay ARV treatment Decide when to start ARV based on:
Risks Benefits
• Allergy• Side Effects• Adherence• Costs
• Improve immune function • Improve quality of life• Decrease risk for OIs
23
When to Start ARV in Vietnam
Patients with: CD4 ≤ 350 cells/mm³ irrespective of
clinical stage Clinical stage 3 or 4 irrespective of CD4
cell count

First Line ARV Regimens in Vietnam (1)
2 NRTI + 1 NNRTI
Stavudine (D4T) is no longer recommended as a first line ARV
Lamivudine (3TC)Tenofovir (TDF)Zidovudine (AZT)
Efavirenz (EFV)Nevirapine (NVP)

First Line ARV Regimens in Vietnam (3)
Priority Regimens Alternative Regimens

29
Prioritized Regimens:TDF/3TC/EFVTDF/3TC/NVP
TDF/3TC are the preferred NRTIs• Well tolerated by patients• Once-daily dosing• Treats hepatitis B in patients with HIV-
hepatitis B co-infection
30
First Line Regimen NNRTI:NVP vs. EFV
Use EFV Use NVP
•LFTs > 2.5x normal•HBV or HCV co-infection•Patient on Rifampin•Men, CD4 > 400•Female, CD4 > 250
•Pregnancy, 1st trimester•Depression or other mental illness
31
Use for patients who cannot take TDF Suitable choice for patients with:• Renal failure• Pregnancy
Alternative Regimens:AZT/3TC/EFVAZT/3TC/NVP
Do not use AZT in patients with severe anemia (Hgb < 8 g/l)
32
Alternative First Line Regimens: AZT + 3TC + TDF
For patients who cannot use NVP or EFV However, research shows less efficacy
than regimens that contain 2 NRTI + (1 NNRTI or 1 PI)• Lower rates of virological suppression• Higher chance for developing resistance to
NRTI Recommended only when no other
ARV regimens are available
34
Key Points
NRTI, NNRTI, PI are 3 ARV classes used in Vietnam
Only prescribe triple therapy ARV regimens – they are most effective
Two priority first ARV regimens in Vietnam:• TDF + 3TC + EFV• TDF + 3TC + NVP
