1 N ORTHWEST A IDS E DUCATION AND T RAINING C ENTER 2014 IAS-USA Treatment Guidelines Brian R. Wood, MD Medical Director, NW AETC ECHO Assistant Professor of Medicine, University of Washington Presentation prepared by: Presenter Last Updated: 10/16/14

2 International Antiviral Society-USA Guidelines Updated July 2014  Prevention Guidelines – Dr. Marrazzo will discuss 11/6/14  Treatment Guidelines

3 Rating Scale Strength of Recommendations: -A: Strong support -B: Moderate support -C: Limited support Quality of Evidence: -Ia: >1 RCTs published in peer-reviewed literature -Ib: >1 RCTs presented at peer-reviewed scientific meetings -IIa: non-RCT’s, cohort, or case-control studies published -IIb: non-RCT’s, cohort, or case-control studies presented -III: panel’s analysis of accumulated available evidence

4 When to Start ART is recommended regardless of CD4 count CD4 count <500: AIaCD4 count >500: BIII Pregnancy: AIa Chronic hepatitis B: AIIa HIV-associated nephropathy: AIIa

5 What to Start: Recommended Initial Regimens ^Single tablet regimen (STR) option

6 Additional Considerations Tenofovir: -Potential for renal and bone toxicity Abacavir: -Associated with cardiovascular events, though data conflicting -HLA-B*5701 must be negative Abacavir/lamivudine: -Less efficacious than tenofovir/emtricitabine when given with efavirenz or boosted atazanavir if baseline HIV RNA >100,000

7 What to Start: Alternatives

8 Estimated Patent Expiration Dates for Branded Antiretrovirals

9 Initiating ART in Special Circumstances “ART should be offered to all individuals with acute infection and should be started as early as possible to maximize benefit” (BIII) Benefits: reduction of proviral DNA and plasma viral load, lower viral set point, robust immune reconstitution Acute HIV: “The data for initiating ART in elite controllers is stronger than before but still insufficient to recommend routine therapy” Elite Controllers:

10 Initiating in Setting of an Acute OI or Tuberculosis Start within first 2 weeks of diagnosis (AIa) Includes other AIDS-defining illnesses likely lymphoma or HPV-related cancer (AIa-BIII) Timing less certain for crypto meningitis…(COAT trial) Acute OI: Within 2 weeks if CD4 count <50 (AIa) By 8-12 weeks if higher CD4 count (AIa) TB meningitis: optimal timing less certain, but likely should be started within 2-8 weeks (BIII) Tuberculosis:

11 ART Monitoring HIV RNA 4 weeks after ART initiation or change, then every 3 mo (AIa) Evaluate for cause of virological failure if HIV RNA >200 copies (AIIa) CD4 Once HIV RNA suppressed for >2 years and CD4 consistently >500, monitoring CD4 count is optional (CIII) “There are insufficient data to make general recommendations for the management of patients with sustained viremia of 50 to 200 copies/mL.”
