1 Exploring HIV in 2017: What a pharmacist needs to know Lifecycle of the HIV virus a. HIV spread through mucous membrane contact, damaged tissue contact, or blood contact with: blood, semen, rectal fluids, vaginal fluids, breast milk i. High risk activities: anal or vaginal sex with HIV+ partner without a condom, sharing needles or syringes with HIV+ person ii. Other bodily fluids not considered infectious UNLESS visibly bloody 1. ALWAYS follow universal precautions b. HIV infects the CD4 T-lymphocyte- General in command of the immune system c. Virologic lifecycle: i. key steps in HIV virologic life cycle 1. fusion and entry- HIV binds the CD4 protein and uses either CCR5 or CXCR4 to enter the cell a. fusion and entry inhibitors 2. reverse transcription- HIV RNA is reverse transcribed into HIV viral DNA a. nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors b. non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors 3. integration- HIV viral DNA is integrated into the host CD4 T-cell s DNA a. integrase strand transfer inhibitors 4. maturation and assembly- new HIV viral RNA is packaged and the final viral particle is assembled a. protease inhibitors

2 Current medications used to treat HIV: Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) tenofovir disproxil fumarate (TDF) tenovofir alafenamide (TAF) abacavir (ABC) lamivudine (3TC) emtricitabine (FTC) zidovudine (AZT) - start up syndrome diarrhea, lethargy -abacavir- risk for fatal hypersensitivity-> must be HLA-B5701 negative -tenofovir disproxil fumarate- renal toxicity and loss of bone mineral density TDF AUC may be increased by ledipasvir/sofosbuvir (Harvoni) -Intermediate barrier to -typically the backbone of a regimen due to few side effects and drug Brand name co-formulated drug combinations: -Truvada- tenofovir disproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (2016 preferred regimen with RTG, DTG, or DRV/RTV) -Epzicom- abacavir/lamivudine -Descovy- tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine (2016 preferred regimen with RTG, DTG, or DRV/RTV) -Stribild- tenofovir disproxil fumarte/emtricitabine/elvitegravir/cobicistat -Genvoya- tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/elvitegravir/cobicistat -Triumeq- abacavir/lamivudine/dolutegravir -Atripla- tenofovir disproxil fumarate/emtricitabine/efavirenz -Complera- tenofovir disproxil fumarate/emtricitabine/rilpivirine -Odefsey- tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/rilpivirine Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs) efavirenz (EFV) rilpivirine (RPV) etravirine (ETR) nevirapine (NVP) -efavirenzneuropsychiatric effects, vivid dreams, worsening depression -rilpivirine- only use if VL<100,000 and CD4 >200 cells/ml -nevirapinehepatotoxicity -Atripla- tenofovir disproxil fumarate/emtricitabine/efavirenz -Complera- tenofovir disproxil fumarate/emtricitabine/rilpivirine -Odefsey- tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine/rilpivirine -Sustiva- efavirenz -Intelence- etravirine -Viramune- nevirapine -Edurant- rilpivirine -efavirenz and nevirapine: CYP2B6 and CYP3A4 inducers-ex: Harvoni, methadone, oral contraceptives, statins, CCBs, warfarin, -etravirine- inhibits CYP2C9 and CYP2C19- ex: warfarin, clopidogrel, phenobarbital, phenytoin -rilpivirinecontraindicated with PPIs, H2RAs, antacids -Lowest barrier to -efavirenz- has long halflife->must give TDF/FTC for 2 weeks if discontinuing Atripla to prevent
