HIV Cases“What to Start”

Dr Anton Pozniak

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital

London

Case-SP• A 57 year old caucasian man presented to the emergency

department with progressive difficulty in swallowing over the last 4 weeks.

• He is hypertensive and has diet controlled diabetes and asthma and takes inhaled B2 agonists and inhaled steroids

• He had seen his family practitioner who saw oral thrush and thought it was related to his diabetes/ inhalers and gave him amphotericin lozenges

• He had been diagnosed with HIV a year before but had not attended any clinics as he “felt well”

Case-SP

• He had extensive oral thrush and had severe dysphagia• BP 145/90 mmHg• He was admitted and treated with fluconazole

• Social History– Lives alone is MSM– Smokes 15 a day– Alcohol 20 units a week, no recreational drugs

• Drugs– Salbutamol inhaler – Fluticasone Inhaler– Amlodopine– St Johns Wort for depression

Case-SP• Labs• STD screen negative • FBC,U and Es, LFTs Normal ,• Cr CL 69 mls/min, Urine protein +no glucose• CD4 33 cells/uL• VL 365000 copies/ml• Hep B immune • Hep C negative • STS negative• Resistance test and HLA B5701 awaited• Framingham 10 year risk risk 18%

You decide to start ARVs

What is your choice of main agent?• NNRTI• PI/r• Integrase• other

Difficulties in choosing-which 3rd agent?

• NNRTI-– may have transmitted dug resistance– RPV may not be effective in High viral load

• Integrase– BD – and may have NRTI transmitted dug resistance

• PI/r– drug interactions,– diabetes, lipids

If you decide to give a boosted PIDrug Interactions

• What Drugs have significant interactions with a boosted PI?

1 St Johns Wort 2 Fluticasone 3 Amlodopine 4 None5 all

What NRTI back bone?

• AZT/3TC• ABC/3TC• TDF/FTC• DDI/3TC• OTHER

Difficulties in choice of NRTI

• AZT-– lipodystrophy– BD

• ABC– High Viral load– Cardiovascular risk(smoker and diabetic and BP)

• TDF– Renal changes,– Bone changes

Created from Ding X, et al. CROI 2011. Poster presentation 808.

• Meta-analysis of Phase II–IV RCTs including ABC – Mean follow up 1.6

person-years per subject– Patients: 80% male (mean

age=39 years)• Limitations

– Young adults, so underlying MI risk low

– Other CV risk factors usually unknown

– Unvalidated MIs– Some studies had a PI

control group

CVD: Do drugs matter?

FDA meta-analysis of abacavir and MI

CVD=cardiovascular disease; FDA=Food and Drug Administration; MI=myocardial infarction; RCTs=randomised controlled trials; CV=cardiovascular; PI=protease inhibitor

Chronic renal disease: ART risk factors

• 6,843 patients (5,136 male), median age 43 yrs, 90.1% exposed to cART, CD4 450 cells/mm3, 21.7% hypertension, 4.9% diabetes

• Median follow up 3.7 years• 2-fold increased risk if hepatitis C RNA+

Case-SP

• Resistance was wild type

• He starts EFV TDF FTC

Case AP

• 35 year old Asian women presents with• Night sweats, weight loss and cough• CXR - RUL cavity and infiltrates• AAFB - smear positive and started on RZHE• Had an HIV test and was positive CD4 was 35

cells/uL

Case AP• As her CD4 was<50 cells/uL she was offered

ARVs within 2 weeks of starting and tolerating her TB meds

What ARV combination would you offer her? What is your choice of main agent?

• NNRTI-Efavirenz• PI/r-Lopinavir/r• Integrase-Raltegravir• other

Case AP

• Started Efavirenz but couldn't tolerate it• What would you offer her?

• NNRTI-Nevirapine• PI/r-Lopinavir/r• Integrase-Raltegravir• other

Case AP

• What would you offer her?• NNRTI-Nevirapine-less efficacy ? Drug

interaction• PI/r-Lopinavir/r major interaction with

rifampicin so switch to rifabutin or double dose lopinavir/r or high dose ritonavir 400mg bd

• Integrase-Raltegravir 400 or 800mg bd• Other-4 nucleosides
