  6. Life Expectancy Five African Countries: 1970 - 2010 Canada life expectancy (2006 estimate): 80.22 years 6

  7. HIV natural history

  8. Development of AIDS is like an impending train wreck where: Viral Load = Speed of the train CD4 count = Distance from site of doom HIV infection J. Coffin, XI International AIDS Conf., Vancouver, 1996

  9. HIV Natural History • 8 to 10 years of symptom-free living after initial infection with the virus • As CD4 count drops, the potential for opportunistic infections (OIs) increases • AIDS is defined by certain OIs and cancers

  10. Oropharyngeal Candidiasis • White patches in mouth (thrush) • Pain/burning with eating • Can spread to esophagus  painful swallowing, burning in chest • Cause of weight loss, wasting

  11. Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP) • New name: Pneumocystis jiroveci • Symptoms include dry cough, shortness of breath and fever • Possibly anorexia and/or fatigue • Insidious as compared to bacterial pneumonia • CXR nonspecific • Diagnosed with bronchoscopy/biopsy

  12. Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia

  13. Toxoplasmosis • Seizures, motor disturbances or altered mental status • Space-occupying lesion in the brain • Diagnosed with serum serology and a CT or MRI scan • Differential diagnosis: CNS lymphoma

  14. Toxoplasmosis

  15. Kaposi’s Sarcoma • Pink, red or violet lesions which generally begin on the skin or the mouth • Can be in GI or respiratory tract • As lesions enlarge, they darken and coalesce to form raised plaques or tumours • Diagnosed with a biopsy of lesions • Any CD4, AIDS-defining • Caused by Human Herpes Virus 8 (HHV-8) • Treated with radiation/chemotherapy (ARVs)

  16. Targets for HIV Inhibition Protease Inhibitors EntryInhibitors Maturation Inhibitors Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors Integrase Inhibitors

  17. ARV-induced pVL changes are associated with a change in the rate of CD4 decline CD4 Low pVL Hi pVL Time, years

  18. Goals of therapy • Maximal and durable suppression of viral load to <50 copies/mL • Restore/preserve immune function • Improve quality of life • Reduce HIV-related morbidity/mortality

  19. What are the risks? • Poor compliance resistance limitations on future treatment options • Short- and long-term side effects

  20. HIV Drug Resistance • Reduced susceptibility of virus to one or more ARV drugs • Patient has many strains of virus; may harbour sensitive and resistant strains at the same time • Testing picks up the predominant viral populations • Minority populations don’t go away

  21. Why does it happen ? Lots of viruses are made every day; there is a natural variation of drug sensitivity

  22. Why does it happen ? Lots of viruses are made every day; there is a natural variation of drug sensitivity

  23. Why does it happen ? If replication is not completely stopped, those which are less susceptible can eventually escape Resistant Virus

  24. Implications of Resistance • Resistance can develop to any/all drugs • Resistance to 1 drug in a class often means resistance to others (cross resistance) • Sometimes the resistant virus is passed from person to person: “Primary resistance” (5-10% ) • Resistance will not go away when drug is removed (even if main virus reverts to “wild type”) - resistant viruses are archived • Develops when virus is allowed to reproduce when antivirals are around (i.e. suboptimal levels of drug which do not suppress virus completely)

  37. Summaryof SMART Study • HIV is a chronic inflammatory disease • Inflammation: important driver of non-AIDS events • heart, liver, kidney, etc • malignancies • Inflammation: important driver of CD4 decline • ADIs at a late stage of the disease
