Australia, South America, Arab
Term
Where did HIV come from and how
Definition

Butchering and food consumption

 

Old World Monkies

2 primates with SIV; Simian Immunodieficiancy Virus

 

Butcher killed two monkeys with HIV and got both of their virus'

 

 

 

Term
HIV is what kind of virus, what are its components, and how does it work?
Definition

It is a Enveloped RNA Retrovirus

 

Uses Reverse Transcriptase going from RNA to DNA to RNA

 

Hybrid virus' due to antigenic shift

Term
When was the first case of HIV
Definition

The 1950's

 

1981 in the United States; San Fran and NY

Term
What did HIV used to be called
Definition

gay related immune disorder

(GRID)

Term
Can you catch aids?
Definition
No Aids is caused by HIV
Term
What are the three strains of HIV and their subtypes
Definition

HIV 1, 2, and 3

 

Subtype is called clades; each has an abcd

Term
What causes symptoms in HIV and what are they
Definition

Flu symptoms

 

The titer/amount of virus in the blood

 

The T cell levels in the immune system (cd-4)p; once low enough will see symptoms, 50% in days

 

Term
When is a person diagnosed with AIDS
Definition
When they have a cd4 count of less than 200
Term
Symptoms of AIDS
Definition

Starts with fatigue

Massive chronic diarrhea; gastric system overgrowing

Weight loss

Neurological changes

 

Leads to Aids Dimensia - confusion and mood swings

Term
What is the difference between AIDS and HIV
Definition

HIV is the virus = infection

 

Aids is the disease caused by HIV

Term

What are the three types of infection of HIV

 

describe them

Definition

Acute - within 5 years devlop AIDS- rapid

 

Mid-level - develop AIDS in 5 to 10 years

 

Long term- non progressor- longer than 10 years to develop

Term

What is the progression of Aids based on?

 

How are the types of HIV determined?

 

Can everyone get Aids?

Definition

Genetics and access to medical care

 

Type is determined by the amount of T cells and titer levels

 

 

some people never get aids

still circulates and transmittable

Term
How does HIV infect?
Definition

Using cells and their receptors

 

Term
What is the binging receptor for the CD4 T cell
Definition
CXCR4
Term
What is the macrophages receptor
Definition
CCR5
Term

What is AIDS

and

why are opportunistic infections a problem?

Definition

Aquired immune deficiency syndrome

(wipes it out)

 

 can't present them to the immune system

 

Macrophages activate T cells that activate B cells

No macrophages= no adaptive immune response

Term
Stages of AIDS
Definition

 

Stage 1: Not aids: HIV infection asymptomatic,

need to get to AIDS

Stage 2: not aids: Minor recurrent upper resp. infection; colds, lasting 8 to 12 weeks

Stage 3: several bacterial infections (no immune system)

 = strep for a long time

Step 4: Toxoplasmosis of brain and esophagitis indicate aids

 

 

Term
What are some other AID symptoms
Definition

Must have HIV infection; cd4 T cell count below 200 and having indicator diseases like opportunistic infections

 

-hormone imbalances

-matabolic disturbances = wasting disease

-Nights sweats

-Lesions on the brain, meninges, spine, and peripheral nerves

Term
What is the reason aids was discovered?
Definition

 

Kaposi's sacroma; skin cancer associated

 caused by Kaposi's sarcoma associated herpe virus

 

People do not normally get KS

Term
What is the percentile for people ending up with AIDS
Definition

90%

 

others die of other things, car accidents, gun shots, ect

 

 

Term
Initial infection of AIDS
Definition

Viral load increase within 2 weeks

Starting to feel sick, get better within 7 - 10 days

Within 2 months antibodies die off

Stage 2 and 3 can last years depending on type

viral load drops because of T cells presenence

virus will take over, just a matter of time

once T cells below 200 automatically classified with AIDS

Term
What are the two types of transmission by HIV?
Definition

Only way to get it is blood borne

 1. Blood transmission

2. Transmission within the host - HIV integrades into the host

-cd4 infected, binds to it, sysnthesis integrates it

and puts it into the host genome 

-syncitia formation; cells fusing to make one giant nucleic cell

 

Exception to blood is saliva, one gallon at on time

 

Term
Transmittion percents
Definition

90% sexual transmission

10% birth or IV drug users

Term

Risks of developing HIV

 

greatest influences

Definition

Females: 

Greatest in underdeveloped countries

1. Prostitutes, 2. IV drugs users,  3. Blood

 

Males:

Greatest in developed countries

**1. Homosexual contact 2. IV drug users, & Prostitutes

 

 

Term
Global view of Adults
Definition

-Middle east doesn't report

-35 to 45 mill living with HIV

-District of Columbia; 2060/20 miles

-Some states do no have to report

homosexuality privacy and discrimination

-New York is the state with the most infection

-Virginia Islands is the territory with the most AIDS

Term
What are the four cities running AIDS task force
Definition
Pitt, Baltimore, Chicago and San Francisco
Term
Ranked 6th in the nation with AIDS
Definition

Pennsylvania - 16,750/100,000

 

Philadelphia highest incidence

Term
Steps of HIV viral life cycle
Definition

1. Bind- HIV using GP-120 portion with accessory receptors of

CYCR4 of CD4 or CCRS of MAC

2. Uncoat - Ph in vessicle drops and RNA moves out

3. Synthesis - RNA converted to DNA by reverse transcriptase, intergrates intos the host genome with integrase then goes back to RNA with transcription

4. Assembly - inclusion bodies come together

5. Release by exocytosis/budding

Term
What is integrase
Definition

How transmission can occur within the body

 

The enzyme required for integration,

tells HIV host cell must replicate

Term
The hallmark of HIV
Definition
Integration
Term
What are the receptors?
Definition

CXCR4 and CCR5

 

lock and key fit for the hold

Term
HIV primary routes of infection
Definition

blood exposure

 needles, sex, oral sex, semen and vaginal fluid

 

or

 

infection by macrophages

splash of blood

Term
Why are RBC not transmitted in HIV
Definition

They do not have the right receptors, HIV can not get in

 

No Nucleus; no DNA; no integration

 

 

ONLY WBC, DC, MAC, or T cells can integrate

Term
What is an infection from another source and how?
Definition

Transinfection

-Infection from another cell; Virus infects mac or dc when transmitting virus, two cells coming together

 

Cyst infection

-infected cell replicating, transmitting within the host = cd4 multiplying and infecting others

 

Problem: contact with thousands of cells per day = latent period

Term
Treatment of HIV
Definition

HAART

 

Highly Active Anti Retroviral Therapy

 

Cocktail drugs for HIV

Term
What are cocktail drugs
Definition
comprised of four different drugs
Term
HAART drugs
Definition

Entry inhibitor - stops binding by endocytosis;

stops cell from being infected, not person

 

others stop active virus from being made; already infected 

-Nucleoside analogue - stop reverse transcriptase

= no DNA= no integration

 -Protease inhibitor - stops assembly, no proteins

 -integrase inhibitor - stops viral dna from integrating

Term
Which one stops infection?
Definition

None of them

 

Can't stop infection, only prevent

Term
Why do you want to stop the virus at different stages?
Definition

HIV isn't constant, every cell is at different stages

 

If you only hit one, you won't inhibit all reactions

 

Must give different types of drugs

Term
What are the drawbacks of HAART
Definition

Tocix side effects

 

Expensive

 

All four pills are single pills; must take 30 - 40 per day

Term
What is the QUAD Pill?
Definition

Takes all pills and puts it into one

 

Side effects are the reason they took so long to make

Very expensive, people still take the old way

Term
Names of pills for HIV
Definition

Fuzeon: entry inhibitor; stops binding of CCR5, mac and dc

 

Isentrase (wonderdrug): IV; for integrase inhibitor - drops viral load and stops integration

 

Lexiva: Only drug allowed for kids; 2 to adult; Prokase inhibitor; oral drink

 

Ziagen: Reverse transcriptase inhibitor; no made viral dna; pill

Term
Biggest problem of HAART drugs
Definition

Patient non-compliance

 

if stop taking drugs, virus' change gradually with antigenic drift, new virus' made and drugs won't work anymore

 

also they cannot completely erradicate HIV

Term
Opportunistic Infections
Definition

Disease that take advantage of the week immune systems

 

Fairly common, usually by germs

 

HIV disables the immune system - no T cells or MACS= no presentation or adaptive immune response

 

Reduce risks by good hygiene

Term
How does HIV prevent opportunistic infections?
Definition

Prohopylaxis treatment

 

takings drugs before getting it or attempting to resist it

 

Term
How do you die from AIDS?
Definition

Cannot die, AIDS is a syndrome, you die from the infection

 

ie. pneumonia, esophasgus, ect

Term
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis
Definition

-droplet transmission, aerobic

-tuberculos and granulomas that form in the lungs by T cells

Symptoms: Chronic cough, weight loss, bloody sputum,

high fever and night sweats

 Diagnosis: X ray and culturing, 3 days, 3 times

Treatment: Anitbiotic therapy and retrovirals; 19 pills per day for the rest of life

Term

Myobacterium Tuberculosis combined

with HIV is a problem why?

Definition

infection of the lungs

HUGE problem with HIV b/c it can't be controlled

 

HIV cannot get granulomas so they get 2nd TB and leads to extrapulmonary TB, they cant wall off infection

Term
Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in HIV
Definition

 -must have HIV, not just TB

- decrease life with dual forms

-stage 3 and 4 of AIDS

-12.4% infected with HIV, 1.4 mill people, 1 person per second

-leading secondary infection in developing countries

-MTB is the normal death infection 

-Drug in trial for MTB in HIV that blocks protein, doesn't stop it, just stops replication. Quality of life drug

Term
Study of MTB and TB combined in HIV
Definition

increase in viral replication:

 

5 to 160 during acute phase of MTB

 

Term
Aid assisted illness'
Definition

1. Myobacterium Tuberculosis

2. Candida albican

 

Term
What is candida albican?
Definition

-Most common funal infection for HIV

-Normal biota, fungus

-Contact transmission, commensal organism living on the skin

-Sentinel infection of Oral thrush

Recurrent episodes:

-oral thrush

-esophagus: leads to death:

yeast infects lining of esphagus, can't eat

 

 

 

 

Term
What is a sentinel infection
Definition

indictive to a major problem 

 

Term
What is oral thrush and the four types?
Definition

Oral thrush is sentinel to candida albican

90% with HIV develop oral thursh and is the lead cause of esphoageal disease

 

1. Psuedomembranous candidosis - most recognizable

2. Ethythematous candidosis - red lesions in mouth

3. Angular cheilitis - found in the corners of the mouth

4. - Hyperplastic candosis - invades/breaks capillaries, palets

Term

Anything with -azole

 

Lemons to be a cure for oral thursh, acidic,

change of ph in the mouth

Term

Definition

Obligate intracellular parasite - protozan

Cause is toxiplasma gondii leads to encephalitis and mennangitis

60% WW, 15% in U.S and 75% in Europe

Transmission: cat poop and undercooked meat

Reactivation of chronic infection: 10-14%

Symp: altered mental status, fever, vision, glucoma, headaches depends on area of brain

Diagnosis, MRA, CT for lesions; Treat: Folic acid makes bases of DNA without it damages DNA = cancer
