Update on Early and Acute HIV Infection
Where do we stand in treatment of acute/early HIV?
Memory CD4+ T-cell are rapidly depleted in acute SIV
Treatment of acute SIV restores GALT CD4+ T-cells
Restoration of Mucosal CD4+ T cell in acute HIV is not so clear
AIEDRP Observational Treatment Analysis
Analysis
Untreated vs Acute Tx vs Early Tx Viral load
CD4 T-cell count Untreated vs Acute TX vs Early Tx
Lack of clear support for Acute Tx benefit from ACTG 371 Trial
Risk of Death Associated with Deferral of Antiretroviral Therapy, According to CD4+ Count at Baseline, with Adjustment for HIV RNA Level, Age, and Sex
What is the median time from infection to CD4 count < 350?
Median time from study entry to CD4+ count < 350 cells in AIEDRP cohort: 660 days (95% C.I. 559-788)
Relationship of number of Sx to initial viral load
Univariate and multivariate mixed model to predict set point viral load
Univariate and multivariate mixed model to predict set point viral load
Treatment Conclusions
HIV Prevention and Early HIV
Rates of HIV Transmission by Stage of HIV, Rakai (Wawer, et al, JID, 2005)
Typical Course of HIV Infection
Dose of SIV needed for infection is 100-fold lower in acute infection
Dose of SIV needed for infection is 100-fold lower in acute infection
Acute/Early HIV and Transmission Summary
Update on diagnosis
HIV Superinfection
HIV Superinfection
Superinfection: does it matter
HIV Superinfection
Window Period of Superinfection Susceptibility: Genetically Distinguishable Strains of HIV-2 IV Inoculation of Pig-tailed Macaques
HIV Superinfection
High Incidence of New Strains In Recent Seroconverters
The NYC Case
NYC Case: Rapid Progression
Multiclass drug resistance
The CT Cases
Transmission Event
CT01 History
CT02
CT02: Superinfection
Is there a window of susceptibility to superinfection?
Can Superinfection lead to acquisition of drug resistance?
What might be preventing superinfection?
Monogram Neutralization Assay
Autologous Longitudinal Neutralizing Antibodies Continue to Develop for Years
Neutralization of Heterologous Virus
Neutralization of Heterologous Virus Develops over Time
Neutralizing antibody titers to heterologous virus are lower in those acquiring superinfection
Counseling messages
Primary Drug Resistance
Recent drop in transmitted drug resistance: UCSF Options cohort
Transmitted drug resistance: UCSF Options cohort 96 - '08
Transmitted Drug Resistance (TDR) Conclusions
