PROHYLAXIS &TREATMENT
HIV
HIV YOGA SRINIVAS ANANTHA
Transmission prevention /
Safer sex
Abstinence from sexual relations
use of condoms
Male circumcision
sexual
Avoidance of sharing of needles and other paraphernalia
Avoiding sterile needles
IDA’S
Screening of all blood donors for HIV Antibody nucleic acid in addition clotting factor concentrates are heat treated, essentially eliminating the risk to haemophiliacs who require these products.
BloodMTCT
AZT (reduces risk by 3 fold)
Mother @before delivery
Baby @6 weeks
NEOVIRAPINE (reduce transmission by 50%)
Mother @at onset of labour
Neonate @1st three days

PRE EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS
A new strategy?
2011& 2012 results support this – TENOFOVIR
It prevented HIV transmission & new infections
HIV
Effectiveness of PEP depends on….
• Efficacy of PEP is best if administered within two hours of exposure.
• PEP need to be given within 72 hours of exposure.
• Do not delay PEP while waiting for result of HIV testing.
• Informed consent must be obtained before testing a source as per National guidelines.
• Base line rapid HIV testing before PEP.
• Negative result does not exclude HIV infection.
• Positive HIV result helps in stopping the PEP
TOPICAL MICROBICIDES
Reports from 2010 research
A candidate vaginal gel containing the antiviral drug TENOFOVIR reduced HIV acquisition by 39%
HIV
VACCINES AGAINST HIV
All candidate vaccines tested as of 2011 proved ineffective at preventing infection.
One goal of vaccine research is to design “IMMUNOGENS”

GENE THERAPY
BEING DEVELOPED TO ACHIEVE
“INTRA-CELLULAR IMMUNISATION”

TREATMENT
ANTI RETRO VIRAL THERAPY
• GOALS
• CLINICAL GOALS
• VIROLOGICAL GOALS
• IMMUNOLOGICAL GOALS
• THERAPEUTIC GOALS
• REDUCTION OF HIV TRANSMISSION IN INDIVIGUALS
FUSION INHIBITORS @2003
ENTRY INHIBITORS @2007
INTERGRASE INHIBITORS @2007
ANTIVIRAL DRUGS
HIV
Nucleoside
&
Non nucleoside
inhibitors of viral
enzyme
Inhibitors of viral
“PROTEASE
ENZYME”
HAART
HIGHLIGHTES:
• It often can suppress viral replication below the limits of detection in plasma
• Decreases the viral load in lymphoid tissues
• Allow the recovery of immune response's
HIV
Recommended choices of first-line regimens• Principles for selecting the first-line regimen
• 1. Choose 3TC (lamivudine) in all regimens
• 2. Choose one NRTI to combine with 3TC (AZT or d4T)
• 3. Choose one NNRTI (NVP or EFV)
• First choice: AZT + 3TC + NVP
• for patients with Hb > 8 g/d Substitute NVP with EFV, for patients with TB or toxicity to NVP
What to Expect in the First Six Months of Therapy
CD4 recovery
Early ARV toxicity
IRIS
IRIS
• “occurrence or manifestations of new OIs or existing OIs within six weeks t six months after initiating ART; with an increase in CD4 count”.
Drug resistant variants in treatment of naïve patients
A NEW CHALLENGE ???
In 2004 & 2005; patients with newly diagnosed HIV were found to carry
drug resistant mutants 8% and10% of cases in USA & Europe
respectively.
Infants (PI) USA 2002, 19% - Resistant mutants
HIV
COMBINATION THERAPY
A BOON!!
CT turned HIV infection in to chronic treatable disease
Highlights:
• Suppression of viral replication can be achieved
• Restoration of immune function
