Case (continued) The patient s rapid HIV Ab test returns as positive, as does her urine pregnancy test. Blood tests verify both findings. She is happy about the pregnancy, but upset about the HIV diagnosis and said she never thought she could be at risk. She also asks if this means that her husband knew about the diagnosis but was not taking medications.

TESTING CDC 9/21/06 risk-based to routine HIV screening in all health care settings 13 64 yrs after patient notified (opt out screening assent inferred unless patient declines) 1. HIV testing for those high risk at least qyear No written consent, relaxed prevention counseling Pregnancy: Screen in 1 st trimester, repeat in 3 rd trimester if risk factors Routine testing still called grade C recommendation by USPSTF up to April 30, 2013 Branson BM et al.

PREVENTION Case (continued) The patient asks whether there was anything she could have done to protect herself from HIV infection (even while trying to conceive) if she had known her no good husband s status. 11
Of the following interventions, which has the highest efficacy (level I RCT data) in preventing heterosexual HIV transmission? 1. Microbicides 2. Circumcising the male partner 3. Pre exposure prophylaxis for HIV negative partner 4. HIV vaccine 5. Using HIV treatment for HIV+ partner 6. Post exposure prophylaxis for HIV negative partner Of the following interventions, which has the highest efficacy (level I RCT data) in preventing HIV transmission? 1. Microbicides (Increasingly negative data) 2. Circumcising the male partner (Effective for men) 3. Pre exposure prophylaxis for HIV negative partner (Effective, complicated, will discuss) 4. HIV vaccine (Some glimmers of hope, but no definitive candidate) 5. Using HIV treatment for HIV+ partner (Effective, will discuss) 6. Post exposure prophylaxis for HIV partner (will discuss occupational PEP) 12

She asks you If I wasn t pregnant, doc, when would you suggest I start HIV therapy? What are the current U.S. guidelines on when to start antiretroviral therapy? 1. As soon as the patient is diagnosed with HIV 2. When CD4 count 200 cells/mm 3 3. When CD4 count 350 cells/mm 3 4. When CD4 count 500 cells/mm 3 5.
