Lessons From Pathogenesis
• High levels viral replication makes mutations
(resistance) inevitable if detectable viremia
• Persistent cellular reservoirs of infection
established early in course of infection
– Source of archived virus throughout course of disease
• Viral rebound likely regardless of duration of viral
suppression with current therapeutic options

Revised CDC Recommendations for
HIV Testing in Healthcare Settings
• Routine voluntary testing
for patients ages 13 to 64
years in healthcare settings
– Not based on patient risk
• Opt-out testing
• No separate consent for
HIV
• Pretest counseling not
required
• Repeat HIV testing left to
discretion of provider
– Based on patient risk

ART in Serodiscordant Couples
HIV-infected, sexually
active serodiscordant
couples; CD4+ cell count
of the infected partner:
350-550 cells/mm3
(N = 1763 couples)
Immediate ART
Initiate ART at CD4+ cell count 350-550 cells/mm3
(n = 886 couples)
Delayed ART
Initiate ART at CD4+ cell count ≤ 250 cells/mm3*
(n = 877 couples)
*Based on 2 consecutive values ≤ 250 cells/mm3.
• Primary efficacy endpoint: virologically linked HIV transmission
• Primary clinical endpoints: WHO stage 4 events, pulmonary TB,
severe bacterial infection and/or death
• Couples received intensive counseling on risk reduction and use of
condoms

Rationale for Recommending Therapy
for Those with >350 CD4 cells/uL
• Recent cohort studies (4 for 350-500 cells/uL
and 1 for >500 cells/uL)
• HIV replication associated with non-AIDSdefining diseases (e.g. cardiovascular, renal,
liver, malignancy)
• Evidence that ARVs may reduce risk of
transmission
• ARV more effective, convenient, better tolerated
than in the past

Factors to consider in choosing firstline therapy
• Patients willingness to commit to therapy
• Baseline resistance
• Efficacy data
• Tolerability
• Convenience
• Comorbid conditions
• Consequences of failure (resistance)
• Since the introduction of potent ARV therapy
preferred regimens all include NRTIs + third drug

DHHS Guidelines: What to Start
Preferred
Regimens

• ATV/r + TDF/FTC
• DRV/r (once daily) + TDF/FTC
• RAL + TDF/FTC
• EVG/COBI/TDF/FTC
October 30, 2013
• DTG + TDF/FTC
• DTG + ABC/3TC
[Pregnant Women Only: LPV/r (twice daily) + ZDV/3TC]
Alternative
Regimens
• EFV + ABC/3TC
• RPV + (TDF or ABC)/(FTC or 3TC)
• ATV/r or DRV/r + ABC/3TC
• FPV/r or LPV/r (qd or bid) ABC/3TC or TDF/FTC
• RAL + ABC/3TC
Acceptable
Regimens
• EFV or RPV + ZDV/3TC
• NVP + TDF/FTC or ZDV/3TC or ABC/3TC
• ATV + (ABC or ZDV)/3TC
• ATV/r, DRV/r, LPV/r, FPV/r , RAL + ZDV/3TC

http://aidsinfo.nih.gov/contentfiles/lvguidelines/adultandadolescentgl.pdf . Revision March 27, 2012.
Individualizing First-line Therapy:
Specific Circumstances
Circumstance
Agents
No genotype
 Use boosted PI
High HIV-1 RNA
 Caution with ABC, RPV
Renal disease
 Caution with TDF, ATV/RTV; monitoring complicated with
COBI and DTG
Dyslipidemia
 RAL, DTG, RPV most lipid neutral
CV risk factors
 Possible association with ABC, ddI, LPV/RTV
 No data for DRV/RTV, INSTIs, MVC
Pregnancy
 Preferred: ZDV/3TC + NVP, LPV/RTV, or ATV/RTV
 EFV can be used after first 5-6 wks
Chronic HBV
 Preferred TDF + 3TC or FTC
 Alternative is entecavir
Decreased BMD
 Caution with TDF
CNS effects
 Caution with EFV for at least first month
When to Consider ARV Switch
• ARV intolerance
• Difficulty with adherence
• Treatment failure
• Incomplete virologic response
• Two consecutive HIV RNA>400 or >50
copies/mL after 24 and 48 weeks,
respectively
• Virologic rebound
• After virologic suppression HIV RNA
repeatedly above assay limit of detection

ART in Serodiscordant Couples
HIV-infected, sexually
active serodiscordant
couples; CD4+ cell count
of the infected partner:
350-550 cells/mm3
(N = 1763 couples)
Immediate ART
Initiate ART at CD4+ cell count 350-550 cells/mm3
(n = 886 couples)
Delayed ART
Initiate ART at CD4+ cell count ≤ 250 cells/mm3*
(n = 877 couples)
*Based on 2 consecutive values ≤ 250 cells/mm3.
• Primary efficacy endpoint: virologically linked HIV transmission
• Primary clinical endpoints: WHO stage 4 events, pulmonary TB,
severe bacterial infection and/or death
• Couples received intensive counseling on risk reduction and use of
condoms
