Review of HIV Therapy Ronald D. Wilcox MD FAAP Project Director / Principal Investigator, DAETC Assistant Professor of Internal Medicine and Pediatrics, LSUHSC
Disclaimer • The speaker receives funding for research from the following companies: • Tibotec • Pfizer • Boeringer-Ingelheim • GlaxoSmithKline • Bristol-Myers-Squibb • Merck
Objectives • Review the life cycle of the HIV virus • Review the current medications for treatment of HIV • Review the current recommendations for initiation of HAART • Review appropriate prophylaxis for OIs
Question • How familiar are you with the different classes of HIV medications? 1. Very familiar – know all 7 classes and most of the agents 2. Can name at least 5 classes 3. Can name at least 3 classes 4. Can name at least 1 class 5. Know none of the classes of medications
HIV Life Cycle • Attaches at CD4 marker with help of CXCR4 and CCR5 • Injects RNA into the cytoplasm • cDNA is made using reverse transcriptase • cDNA is integrated into the cell DNA using integrase and replication occurs • Protease cleaves the subsequent RNA and proteins into individual segments • Buds off or disrupts cell membrane for release
HAART Therapy • 4 major targets: • Fusion inhibition • CD4 receptor inhibitor • CCR5-Inhibitor • Reverse transcriptase enzyme • Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors • Nucleotide Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors • Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors • Integrase • Integrase Inhibitor • Protease enzyme • Protease inhibitors
Nucleoside RT Inhibitors • Abacavir (ABC) (1998) • Didanosine (ddI) (1991) • Emtricitabine (FTC) (2003) • Lamivudine (3TC) (1995) • Stavudine (d4T) (1994) • Zalcitabine (ddC) (1992) • Zidovudine (AZT, ZDV) (1987)
Case 1 • 28 year old obese patient is being seen by one of your colleagues. His current (second) HAART is d4T + Efavirenz + ddI and his viral load last month was < 400 on this regimen. He is also on dapsone for PcP prophylaxis. • The patient comes to your office complaining of some abdominal cramping over the past week that has steadily increased along with some nausea with one episode of emesis. No hematochezia, hematemesis, melena, diarrhaea, or constipation. He has also had lower extremity pain for 2 months.
Case 1 • Laboratory work-up reveals a WBC 8.2 with diff 66 s and 30 l. His H/H and platelets are within normal limits. His chemistry reveals a Na 128, K 3.4, Cl 98, CO2 14, BUN/Creat 22/1.4, glucose 88, and his AST and ALT are elevated at 2x the upper limits of normal. Lipase was 34.
Question • Which of the following is the most likely cause of the patient’s symptoms? • Methemoglobinemia from the dapsone • Pancreatitis from the ddI • Hepatitis from the efavirenz • Lactic acidosis from the d4T • Cryptosporidiosis of the gallbladder
Adverse Side Effect of Class • Lactic Acidosis + / - hepatic steatosis

Riboflavin, Carnitine, Thiamine, Coenzyme Q • Rechallenge: Are any nucleosides safe?
