His symptoms have been present for approximately 48 hours and his history reveals unprotected receptive anal intercourse with another man 12 days prior to the onset of his symptoms. He had a negative HIV antibody test approximately 6 months ago. http://www.hivwebstudy.org/cases/initial-evaluation/acute-primary-hiv-infection Adapted case from HIV Web Study. Accessed on August 14, 2015 5 Acute HIV Infection Oladunni Adeyiga, MD, MS African American HIV University Wednesday, August 26, 2015 Case 2 • A 25-year-old man reports that five weeks prior to going to the doctor, the patient had sexual contact with a new male partner who was infected with HIV and was not taking antiretroviral therapy (ART). Two weeks later, he experienced the rapid onset of fatigue, fevers, sweats, and sore throat, followed by a generalized rash, and headache. At that time, he was tested for HIV infection (via antibody testing), which was negative, but viral load testing was elevated. Kim, JY, et. al.

Her friends think that she has “mono,” because she’s always tired, and she’s had swollen nodes on and off. She doesn’t have a great appetite. She’s nervous, she usually has her mom with her at all her doctor’s appointments, but currently she’s away at school. During the evaluation, she shares with the doctor that she recently broke up with her 1st boyfriend last week. They met 4 months ago, she thought she was in love, but she caught him cheating with someone else. The doctor asks her about HIV testing, and she is adamant: “There’s no way that could be the problem.” 7 Acute HIV Infection Oladunni Adeyiga, MD, MS African American HIV University Wednesday, August 26, 2015 Learning Objectives 8 Acute HIV Infection Oladunni Adeyiga, MD, MS African American HIV University Wednesday, August 26, 2015 Learning Objectives • Understand the time course of symptom onset and resolution in acute HIV infection • Understand the biology of acute HIV infection • Understand the risk factors of HIV acquisition • Understand how to diagnose acute HIV infection • Understand the regulatory guidelines with regard to diagnosing and reporting acute HIV infection • Understand how to counsel newly diagnosed patients 9 Acute HIV Infection Oladunni Adeyiga, MD, MS African American HIV University Wednesday, August 26, 2015 HIV - Brief History 10 Acute HIV Infection Oladunni Adeyiga, MD, MS African American HIV University Wednesday, August 26, 2015 FDA History Timeline* *Source: http://www.fda.gov/ForConsumers/ByAudience/ForPatientAdvocates/HIVandAIDSActivities/ucm117935.htm Accessed August 11, 2014 • 1981: First case reports • 1982: AIDS terminology used by CDC • 1983: Identification of HIV as virus leading to AIDS 11 Acute HIV Infection Oladunni Adeyiga, MD, MS African American HIV University Wednesday, August 26, 2015 Gottlieb, MS., et. al.
