Early HIV ? | * CD4 lowers and then rebounds, causing viremia to lower to get latent stage... * antigens are - bc virus is replicating in cells and HIV EIA is +.... * latency can last months to many years |
CD4+ measurements do what ? | * monitors HIV, not Dx it... * When CD4 lvls drop, latency is up and it becomes emergent again, and makes the person susceptible to opportunistic pathogens and secondary neoplasms |
What Syncytia formation means ? | * ppl that have this development have a lot worse prognosis |
What is an HIV superinfection ? | * someone with HIV becomes infected with a totally different subtype..... * Get recurrent HIV Sx.... * Restricted to window period of less than 3 years post infection |
HIV and lab testing ? | * CD4 count .... * HIV-1 DNA (sensitive in infants).... * HIV-1 RNA - best monitoring test, but $$$ |
HIV-1 Genotype and Phenotype ? | * Genotype - looks at genetic makeup to see if superinfections or what mutations to see what meds to use.... * Phenotype - best to see drug/bug combos to use |

Pneumocystis jiroveci infection and stain needed to see it ? | * Fungus that is airborne that causes pneumonia.... * See it on a GMS stain (silver stain) |

Toxoplasma gondii Infection ? | * causes headaches and see in ppl with Cats.... |
JC Polyoma Virus Infection ? | * infection of oligodendrocytes --> CNS demyelination --> Progressive Multifocal Leukoencephalopathy (PML).... * Dymylination of the white matter |
Herpesvirus Infection | * see disseminated infections of blisters all over the body... * see Intranuclear inclusions w/ ground glass appearance |
Candida Infections ? | * budding white yeast with pseudohyphae in the GI/Resp Tract |
Histoplasma capsulatum Infection ? | * seen in bird roosting sites in the Mississippi, Ohio & St. Lawrence river valleys..... * yeasts inside macros and neutrophils.... * infect bone marrow |

Kaposi Sarcoma ? | * See purple plaques on the body.... * seen in men with HIV.... * by HHV-8/KSHV.... * see in the heart and are a vascular tumor |
Lymphoma ? | * Primary CNS Lymphoma = HIV + EBV .... * Body cavity lymphomas = HIV + KSHV |
Squamous cell carcinoma of uterine cervix and anus cancer ? | * HPV positive and is reactivation of the infection |
