Patient diagnosis and treatment
DIAGNOSIS
HIV for four yearsAIDSClinical Cate
Oral thrushNo clinical evidence of pneumonia
TREATMENT
Antiretroviral regimenAZT (zidovudine) 200 mg every 8hrCrixivan (indinavir) 800mg every 8hr3TC
Epivir (lamivudine) 150 mg every 12hr Slide6
What is Hiv?
Infection caused by the human immunodeficiency virus which destroys the immune system and makes it hard for the body to fight off infections
Transmitted through sexual contact, blood, and mother to childPeople infected may not show symptoms for up to ten years, but can still infect others
Progresses to AIDS There is no cure, but it can be treatedPeople infected with HIV will develop AIDS if not treated
A small amount of people develop AIDS slowly or not at allIs a preventable infection Slide7
HIV tests
Western Blot
Uses gel electrophoresis to separate specific HIV proteins being detectedAfter separation, the proteins are transferred to a membrane to be identified using antibodies that target a specific protein
ELISA
HIV antigens are added to a sample of blood and antibodies react with the HIV virus
An enzyme linked to an antibody is added and reacts with the HIV antigen/antibodyA catalyst is added to change the color of the enzyme-linked complexSlide8
Risk factors for contracting hiv
Common Risk Factors
Sexual contact with an infected person
Unprotected sexComing in contact with blood of an infected personSharing needles
Blood transfusions Mother to child by blood during delivery or breast milk
Terry’s Risk FactorsWorked as a nurse in a dialysis clinicNumerous sexual partnersUse of recreational drugsSlide9
Prognosis
HIV is a chronic condition
It will eventually completely destroy a person’s immune system
Progression depends on each individual
There are treatment options, but no cure
Can prevent complications and delay the progression of AIDSAlmost all people infected will develop AIDSLack of treatment is fatalHAART (highly reactive antiretroviral therapy) dramatically increases how long an infected person lives, but is not a cure
The weakened immune system makes individuals more susceptible to infections and cancersSlide10
Treatment for hiv
Treatment
Medications used in combination is the only way to control the virusIt is best to use three different medications from two different classes of drugs to avoid creating strains of HIV that are immune to single drugs
When to Start
Symptoms become severe
CD4 count is below 500Become pregnantHave HIV-related kidney diseaseBeing treated for Hep-CSlide11
Medications
Types of Medications
NNRTIs
(Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors): disables proteins HIV needs to copy itself
NRTIs (Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors): faulty versions of building blocks HIV needs to copy itself
PIs (Protease Inhibitors): disable protease , which HIV uses to copy itself Entry or fusion inhibitors: block HIV’s entry into CD4 cellsIntegrase inhibitors: disables integrase which HIV uses to insert genetic material into CD4 cells
Terry’s Medications
200 mg of
zidovudine
(AZT) every 8 hours
800 mg of
indinavir
(
Crixivan
) every 8 hours
150 mg of
lamivudine
(3TC
Epivir
) every 12 hoursSlide12
Supplements
Supplement
Proposed use in HIV/AIDS
Potential Risk
Vitamin C
Improve antioxidant capacity, increases iron absorption from non-heme sources
Increases urinary losses of oxalate and calcium
Vitamin E
Vitamin E may protect against toxicity and side effects from AZT (antiretroviral medications)
Can interfere with blood clotting. Cause nausea, diarrhea, muscle weakness, fatigue
Ginseng
Has anti-stress and anti-fatigue effects; May contain a protein with anti-HIV activity
morning diarrhea, insomnia, nervousness, depression, confusion, skin rashes and high blood pressure
Milk thistle
May prevent liver damage caused by HIV medications
Upset stomach, diarrhea, bloating, gas
Echinacea
Anticancer, immunostimulatory; stimulate immune system and promote CD4 cell activation
May inhibit metabolism of drugs using the cytochrome P 450 enzyme pathway
Multivitamin
Slows disease progression, increases CD4 count, lowers viral load values
NoneSlide13
Nutrition with hiv
Terry’s Diet before Mouth Sores
Breakfast/Lunch:
1-2 cups of cold cereal with ½ cup of whole milkDinner:
Meat, potatoes or rice, tea or sodaSnacks: Pizza, candy bar, or cookies with tea or soda
1-2 beers or glasses of wine several times a week Suggested HIV NutritionConsume a healthy and balanced diet like healthy individuals
Calories should be 10% higher if untreatedCalories should be 30% higher during recovery Take a daily multivitamin
If suffering from loss of appetite:
Eat several small meals
Exercise to stimulate appetite
Consume nutrition supplement beverage
Terry’s 24-hour Diet Recall
Sips of apple juice, 1 cup of yogurt, 1 cup of rice and gravy, sips of iced tea with sugar throughout the daySlide14
Alcohol and hiv
Studies show regular alcohol consumption is associated with an increase in the progression of HIV
The immunosuppressive effects of alcohol may cause CD4 count to fall below 200 cellsStill being researched, not a factSlide15
Main concerns for terry
Problems
Not eating enoughConsumes a lot of sugar and sodaAlcohol consumption
Not taking medications
Suggestions
Place on pureed or soft food dietAdd nutritional supplement beverageVegetable juicesSoy or almond milksEducate about programs that help pay for medications Slide16
GOALS
Main goal is to get Terry his medications and get him taking them every day as directed
Educate about healthy diet and consequences of malnutrition and not taking medications Get back on a normal diet
Start exercise routine
COURSE OF ACTION
Have him meet with a Medication Assistance programCreate diet planBegin with soft/liquid dietProgress to normal dietHave Terry keep a food journalJoin a gym or fitness groupJoin a support groupSlide17
