Question
Answer

🗑
what is CXCR4   the coreceptor that CD4 cells that HIV gp41 recognizes to allow penetration into the cell  
🗑
what is CCR5   coreceptor on macrophages that HIV gp41 recognizes allowing penetration into host cell  
🗑
What is the difference for a TH cell getting infected with HIV and a macrophage getting infected with HIV   Th cell will be lysed to allow HIV virions to escape. Macrophage HIV virions are released over time and cell doesn't die  
🗑
Why is HIV genome highly variable   high error rate during reverse transcription  
🗑
What is ARS   acute retroviral syndrome that has symptoms of sore throat, fever, muscle and headaches, enlarged lymph nodes and a rash that disappear in 1-4 weeks  
🗑
Why do the symptoms of ARS clear up in 1-4 weeks   body can still replenish fresh CD4 cells and CTLs  
🗑
How does HIV infection typically manifest itself   as a slow progression as the body slowly looses ground until CD4+ cells fall below normal reaching low levels of around ~300cells/ul  
🗑

🗑
What is the deffinition of AIDS   patient that is HIV antibody positive and has CD4+ T cell count below 200/mm3 or less than 14% of total T cells have the disease  
🗑
What are the common protozoan opportunistic infections in AIDS   toxoplasmosis isospora belli infection cryptosporodiosis  
🗑
what are the common fungal opportunistic infections in AIDS   pneumocystosis cryptococcosis candidiasis histoplasmosis mycobacterial- TB, Myco Avium  
🗑
What are the common viral opportunistic infections in AIDS   persistent mucocutaneous herpes simplex cytomegalovirus varicella zoster multifocal leukoencephalopathy  
🗑
How do you dx HIV   demonstrate presence of HIV antibody by EIA testing or PCR detection fro viral RNA or DNA in the serum  
🗑
Would it be effective to test someone for aids using an EIA if they had an accidental needle stick the day before   no because it take about 4 weeks to develop antibodies that EIA is testing for  
🗑
which test would allow detection of HIV infection after recent exposure in the last 4 weeks PCR or EIA   PCR would be more reliable because EIA tests for antibodies that are generally not present in the first 4 weeks  
🗑
What is the confirmatory test for a positive EIA test for HIV   western blot test that uses antibodies specific to viral proteins  
🗑
What is the most effective way to stop the spread of HIV   education  
🗑
When should you begin treatment for HIV   as soon as infection is detected or accidental blood exposure to infected individual  
🗑
What does HAART stand for   highly active antiretroviral treatment  
🗑
What are the guidelines for starting HAART   symptomatic HIV infection or AIDS related condition regardless of CD4+ T cell count or CD4+ T cell count falls below 200/mm3  
🗑
When should you consider starting HAART therapy   CD4+ T cell count is between 200 and 350/mm3 or HIV RNA is above 100,00 copies/ml  
🗑
What are the anti-HIV drugs in current use   NRTIs (nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors) such as AZT, D4T, lamivudin, DDL and ddC -Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors -protease inhibitors  
🗑
Does HAART cure AIDS   no in controls viremia and increases CD4 cell counts discountinuing therapy can cause return of viremia and complications of AIDS
