2 Disclosures I have no relevant disclosures.

3 Learning Objectives 1. Discuss the epidemiology of HIV/AIDS. 2. Explain the modes of HIV transmission. 3. Describe the signs and symptoms of HIV infection. 4. Explain antiretroviral treatment for HIV infection.

4 Stage 3 (AIDS) Classifications and Deaths of Persons with HIV Infection Ever Classified as Stage 3 (AIDS), among Adults and Adolescents, United States and 6 Dependent Areas Note. All displayed data have been statistically adjusted to account for reporting delays, but not for incomplete reporting. Deaths of persons with HIV infection, stage 3 (AIDS) may be due to any cause.

5 Diagnoses of HIV Infection among Adults and Adolescents, by Transmission Category, United States and 6 Dependent Areas Note. Data include persons with a diagnosis of HIV infection regardless of stage of disease at diagnosis. All displayed data have been statistically adjusted to account for reporting delays and missing transmission category, but not for incomplete reporting. a Heterosexual contact with a person known to have, or to be at high risk for, HIV infection. b Includes hemophilia, blood transfusion, perinatal exposure, and risk factor not reported or not identified.

44 Potential Advantages and Disadvantages of Single-Tablet Regimens Advantages Simplicity Convenience Fewer copays Reduces selective nonadherence Disadvantages Inability to adjust dosages Not available for all ART regimens Not available for all NRTI pairings

45 Preference Side Effects Drug-Drug Interactions Resistance Antiretroviral Regimen Cost Co- Morbidities Adherence /Dosing

46 Adherence High rates of adherence correlate with: viral suppression (goal=undetectable) reduced rates of resistance improved survival Adherence assessment and counseling should be done at every visit

47 Initiating and monitoring patients Follow closely until virologically suppressed. Then monitor every 3-4 months. Stable patients can be monitored every 6 months. For patients not on treatment, monitor every 3-4 months or more frequently as needed Panel on Antiretroviral Guidelines for Adults and Adolescents.
