| If CD4 <200, What infections do you get? | 1)HSV Reactivation 2) cryptosporidoisis, 4)Isospora, 5)disseminated coccidioidomycosis, 6)PCP |
| If CD4 <100, What infections do you get? | 1)Candida esophagitis, 2)toxoplasmosis, 3)histoplasmosis |
| If CD4 <50, What infections do you get? | 1)CMV retinitis and esophagitis, 2)MAC, 3)Crytococcal Meningoencephalitis |
| What are the neoplasms associated with HIV? | Kaposi's sarcoma (HHV-8), Invasive cervical carcinoma (HPV), Primary CNS lymphoma, non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma |
| At what CD4 level do you get cryptosporidiosis? | CD4 <200 |
| At what CD4 level do you get PCP? | CD4 <200 |
| At what CD4 level do you get MAC? | CD4 <50 |
| How do you get toxo? | Ingestion of raw/undercooked meat with cysts; ingestion of oocysts(cats) |
| What are some of the symptoms of toxo? | Altered mental status, seizures, focal neuro signs |

| Should ART be started during treatment of OI or until OI treatment is completed? | During treatment obviously. However note that the IRIS rates increased with early treatment. |
| Explain the train analogy of HIV? | Viral load means the speed. The CD4+ markates distance, since t=d/v, since v is high, therefore you'll reach aids in a much shorter time. |
| What are the goals of HIV therapy? | 1)Suppress HIV RNA level 2)Preserve/enhance immune fxn 3)delay progression of HIV disease |
| Would you want to start early or late? | Early of course |

| How many drugs do you want to give HIV patients? | 3 drugs |
| What are the recommended regimens for HIV? | 1) 2 nucs + NNRTI 2) 2 nucs +PI (+/- RTV) |
