    1. Ideally, start on the same day as diagnosis or wthin 7 days (if concurrent opportunistic infection is not suspected)
    2. Ideally, start within 14 days for new HIV diagnosis and comorbid opportunistic infections (with Consultation)
  2. Obtain Genotypic Antiretroviral Resistance Testing (GART) before starting therapy (and if failing therapy)

    2. Woodring (2015) Natl Health Stat Report (83):1-13 [PubMed]
  4. Compliance is critical to suppress viral load (<500 c/ml)

    5. Adherence of <70% to drug regimen: 6% success rate
  5. Hospitalizations are high risk for Antiretroviral medication errors (85% of HIV patients)
    1. HIV Patients should be encouraged to bring their Antiretrovirals to hospital
    2. Many Antiretrovirals are substituted during admission for formulary options
    3. Consider infectious disease Consultation
    4. Adjust adntiretroviral doses for reduced Renal Function (esp. GFR <50 ml/min)

IX. Pearls: Better compliance

  1. Compliance is critical to prevent drug resistance
    1. Set up reminders to take medications
      1. Alarm clock
      2. Pill box
      3. Place medication on night stand
    2. Anticipatory guidance that adverse effects are common
    3. Emphasize risks of nonadherence (drug resistance, fewer treatment options later)
  2. Patient forgets to take dose
    1. Take dose as soon as remembered
    2. Take next dose if time (do not double dose)
  3. Patient experiences adverse effects
    1. Call primary doctor or pharmacist
    2. Do not stop just one Anti-retroviral medication
      1. Stop all Anti-retrovirals, or stop none
      2. Prevents developing resistance to Antiretrovirals
    3. Antiretrovirals may taste awful
      1. Pediatric HIV patients may require Gastrostomy Tubes to stay on regimen
  4. Patient traveling
    1. Gradually adjust dosing to the next time zone
    2. Ritonavir may be un-refrigerated for 30 days
  5. Understand that cost is very expensive: $1000/month
  6. Consider combination pills that reduce number per day
    1. See combinations listed below
    2. Truvada or Descovy (Tenofovir-TDF or TAF 300 mg AND Emtricitabine-Emtriva-FTC 200 mg) once daily
    3. Combivir (AZT/3TC) bid with Efavirenz qhs
    4. Trizavir (AZT/3TC/Abacavir) one orally twice daily
  7. Consider monthly injection in those achieving stable viral suppression
    1. Cabenuva (Cabotegravir and Rilpivirine) IM monthly

X. Labs: Initial (before starting treatment)

  1. HIV Viral Load (HIV-1 RNA)
  2. CD4 Cell Count
  3. Pregnancy Test
  4. HIV Genotype for NRTI, non-NRTI, Protease Inhibitors
  5. Screening for active Viral Hepatitis (Hepatitis A, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C)
    1. Many of the Combination Medications when stopped, risk a flare of coinfected Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C
  6. Screening for Sexually Transmitted Infection (e.g. Gonorrhea PCR, Chlamydia PCR, Syphilis)
  7. Tuberculosis Screening (and repeat annually depending on risk)
  8. Adverse effects of HIV Medications
    1. Lipid Profile
    2. Compled blood count
    3. Comprehensive metabolic panel
      1. Serum Glucose (or Hemoglobin A1C)
      2. Hepatic profile
      3. Serum Creatinine
  9. Other labs
    1. HLA-B*5701 Allele (if prescribing Abacavir)

XI. Labs: Monitoring

  1. Obtain viral load 1 month (2-8 weeks) after initiating therapy and after any treatment change
    1. Repeat every 4-8 weeks until viral load undetectable
    2. When on stable therapy, repeat every 3-4 months for 2 years, then every 6 months
  2. Obtain CD4 Count 3 months after initiating Antiretroviral therapy
    1. Then obtain CD4 Count every 3-6 months for 2 years, and then every 12 months if CD4>300 cells/uL
    2. CD4 Count is optional if CD4 Count is consistently >500 cell/uL for 2 years, and suppressed viral load
  3. Other lab monitoring
    1. Comprehensive metabolic panel (renal profile, hepatic profile, Serum Glucose, Serum Albumin)
      1. Obtain at baseline, at 2-8 weeks and then at 3-6 months
      2. Consider Hemoglobin A1C yearly
    2. Complete Blood Count with differential
      1. Obtain at baseline, 3-6 months, then every 12 months (if not monitoring CD4 Counts)
    3. Fasting Lipid Profile
      1. Obtain at baseline and then yearly
  4. Goal optimal viral suppression
    1. Viral load falls by >0.5 log copies/ml OR falls below detectable level (20-75 copies/ml)
    2. Typically achieved by 8-24 weeks
    3. Brief rises in viral load may occur, but consider resistance or noncompliance if sustained
  5. Failure to decrease viral load to undetectable levels by 8-24 weeks
    1. Address compliance (see above)
    2. Consider change in therapy
    3. Consult HIV specialist
    4. See Genotypic Antiretroviral Resistance Testing
    5. Consider repeat Genotypic Antiretroviral Resistance Testing if unable to maintain HIV RNA <200 copies/ml
  6. Predictors of decreased HIV progression
    1. Viral load decreases by >0.5 log copies/ml or becomes undetectable
    2. CD4 Count increases >200 cells/mm3
      1. CD4 Count lags viral load in response to therapy
      2. Expect CD4 Count increases of 50 to 150 cells/mm3 per year until reaching steady state
