Q3: 4 weeks Later, What Next? A. Wait for another 4 weeks, then start ART B. Wait until complete TB treatment t t C. Start ART with NVP-based regimen D. Start ART with EFV-based regimen E. Start ART with PI-based regimen
Treatment of TB/HIV Co-infection CD4 cell count Recommendation Comments (cells/mm 3 ) <200 Start TB treatment. Start ART Recommended ART as soon as TB treatment is tolerated (after 2 weeks) 200-350 Start TB treatment. Start one of the ART regimen after intensive phase of TB treatment (if severely compromised start earlier) Recommended ART >350 Start TB treatment Defer ART
ART Regimen in Patients with TB EFV containing regimens EFV is contra-indicated in pregnant women or women of child bearing potential without effective contraception Dosage of fefvi is 600 mg/day for weight <60 kg and 800 mg/day for weight >60 kg 1 NVP is an alternative to EFV for patient who has taken rifampicin Lead-in NVP for the first 14 days is not necessary 1. Sungkanuparph S et al. J Med Assoc Thai 2008;91:1925-36.
Patients with active TB has newly diagnosed HIV infection Rifampicin-containing containing drug regimen ART is not indicated now ART is indicated Start t ART at least 2 weeks-2 months after TB treatment ART with EFV-based regimen (alternative NVP-based regimen) Alternatively use non refampcin-based drug regimen Re-evaluated after complete TB treatment Any standard ART regimens

IRIS: Definition Immune recovery inflammatory syndrome Collection of inflammatory disorders associated with paradoxical worsening of pre-existing existing infectious processes following the initiation of HAART in HIV-infected individuals Systemic or local inflammatory reactions may occur at the site or sites of preexisting infection Preexisting infections Previously diagnosed d and treated Subclinical and later unmasked by the host's regained capacity to mount an inflammatory response
Timing of ART in the Setting of OI Early ART in hopes of Deferring ART in order to reducing the risk of AIDS- decrease the risk of IRIS related morbidity and Poor absorption of mortality therapeutic drugs during Earlier immunologic acute or advanced HIVrelated infection recovery Faster resolution of OI Additive toxicities of multiple therapeutic agents Drug interactions Problem of differentiating IRIS from other simultaneously present illnesses or infections
When to Start HAART after OI? No consensus When??? Absent any contraindications, early HAART initiation should be strongly considered in the AIDS patient with OI Cryptosporidiosis, microsporidiosis, PML, and Kaposi sarcoma HAART should be started t as soon as possible TB, MAC, PCP, and cryptococcal meningitis Waiting a response to OI therapy Improve signs and symptoms of the diseases
When to Start HAART after OI? TB 4-8 weeks after starting anti-tb PCP After completion of anti-pcp (21 days) Cryptococcal meningitis 8-10 wks after treatment Toxoplasmosis After completion treatment (6 weeks) MAC 4-8 weeks after treatment and negative blood culture
Treatment Goal of HAART Reduce HIV-related morbidity and prolong survival Improve quality of life Restore and preserve immunologic function Maximally and durably suppress viral load Prevention vertical HIV transmission
Goal of Therapy Viral load Relativ ve Leve els <50copies/mL at 6 month CD4 Limit of Detection Months Years After HIV Infection Acute HIV infection
Monitoring Clinical monitoring Adherence assurance/counseling Immunological monitoring Virological i l monitoring i Drug resistant testing Therapeutic drug monitoring
Monitoring: Thai Guideline 2010 Laboratory During the first year After the first year Note investigations CBC, CD4 6, 12 month Every 6 month Viral load First regimen: Every 12 month Before changing the regimen 6, 12 month (every 6 month, if possible) ART changing after failure: 6, 12 month Every 12 month FBS 6, 12 month Every 6 month ALT 6, 12 month Every 6 month At 3 month if starting NNRTIs Cr* 6, 12 month Every 6 month Every 6 month, if use TDF or IDV Lipid profile (TC, TG, LDL, HDL) 6, 12 month Every 6 month Urinalysis - - Every 6 month, if use TDF or IDV CXR - - Repeat, if indicated Pap smear 12 month Every 12 month Repeat, if indicated Sungkanuparph S et al.

Conclusions Appropriate patient assessment Early treatment initiation is associated with more benefits than risk Asymptomatic with CD4 <350 cells/mm 3 Use less toxic drugs Appropriate timing i of ART initiation iti in patients with OI Appropriate monitoring Patients should be identified early
