    Principles for selecting the

  • 8/6/2019 Recent Advances in the Management of Hiv Infection

    76/105

    p gfirst-line regimen

    1. Choose 3TC (lamivudine) in allregimens

    2. Choose two NRTI - 3TC with (AZT or

    d4T) 3. Choose one NNRTI (NVP or EFV)

    NNRTI BASED

    PI BASED

    First choice:

    Ideally, second-line regimens should include atleast three active drugs;

    one of them from a new class, in order toincrease the likelihood of the success of thetreatment and to minimize the risk of cross-resistance.

    The PI class should be reserved for second-linetreatments.

    Immune Reconstitution

  • 8/6/2019 Recent Advances in the Management of Hiv Infection

    80/105

    80

    Inflammatory Syndrome (IRIS)

    Different from clinical failure A paradoxical worsening of preexisting,

    untreated, or partially treated

    opportunistic infections Clinical manifestation of a sub-clinical

    infection that was already present atbaseline, brought about by HAART-

    induced reconstitution of the immunesystem Typically seen within the first several

    weeks after initiating HAART

    Immunologic Failure

  • 8/6/2019 Recent Advances in the Management of Hiv Infection

    81/105

    81

    Immunologic Failure

    Fall in CD4 counts more than 30% frompeak value or

    A return of CD4 count to, or below, the

    pre-treatment baseline Not usually not seen for several months

    or maybe years after starting successfulART.

    CD4 count can take a long time to comeback up even on effective ART, and maynever reach a normal level if initiallysignificantly suppressed

    Virologic Failure

  • 8/6/2019 Recent Advances in the Management of Hiv Infection

    82/105

    82

    Virologic Failure

    Failure of viral load to becomeundetectable after 24 weeks of ART(failure to suppress)

    Reappearance of detectable virus after aperiod of undetectability (loss ofvirologic control)

    Less than one log (10-fold) decrease in

    viral load from baseline after 6-8 weeksof HAART

    Need to ensure that failure is not due to

    lack of adherence.

    Causes of Failure of Therapy

    Poor adherence most common and importantreason

    Viral resistance

    Diminished efficacy of ARVs

    Decreased absorption of ARVs Drug-food interactions (eating/not-eating with

    meds malabsorption)

    Drug-drug interactions

    Other disease processes in GI tract Colitis, gastritis, diarrhea lead to rapid transit

    times in intestines

    Inadequate dosage

    Which Measure of Treatment

  • 8/6/2019 Recent Advances in the Management of Hiv Infection

    87/105

    87

    Failure Should be Used?

    Virologic failure precedes immunologic &clinical failure

    Periodic viral load screening therefore

    offers advantage of detecting treatmentfailure earlier, when more options mayexist for subsequent treatmentregimens

    However, viral load testing is also veryexpensive: Is the benefit of earlierdetection worth the cost?
