HIV/AIDS
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? HIV is a retrovirus which attacks the T-cel s in the immune
system
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Acquired Immuno deficiency syndrome or AIDS, is acollection of symptoms due to underlying infections
and malignancies resulting from specific damage to
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
immune system caused by human immunodeficiency
virus (HIV).

A Global view of HIV Infection
? Approximately > 40 million people are currently living with HIV
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
infection, and 25 million have already diedAIDS
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? The first indication of this new syndrome came in 1981 inhomosexual drug addict males;
? They had two things in common- Pneumocystis pneumonia and
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Kaposi's sarcoma
? In 1983, HIV was isolated from a patient with
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
lymphadenopathy, and by 1984 it was demonstrated clearly tobe the causative agent of AIDS
? In 1986, The International Committee on virus Nomenclature
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
decided on the generic name of the causative virus as the Human
Immunodeficiency Virus
Structure of HIV
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? It has a diameter of 100-120 nm
with a spherical morphology
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Cone-shaped core surroundedby lipid matrix containing key
surface antigens and

? Viral core contains 2 copies of

largest.Antigenic variations in HIV
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? HIV is a highly mutable virus and exhibits frequent antigenic variationsas wel as dif erences in other features such as nucleotide sequences,
cell tropism, growth characteristics and cytopathology
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? Not only are there dif erences between isolates of HIV from differentraces or persons but also between sequential isolates from the same
person, and even between those obtained from different sites of the
same person at the same time.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? This great variability is believed to be due to error prone nature of
reverse transcription
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Mode of transmission1. Sexual contact- In 75 % cases , transmission
is by sexual contact.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? People who already have a sexual y
transmit ed disease, such as syphilis, genital
herpes, chlamydial infection, gonorrhea, or
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
bacterial vaginitis, are more likely to acquire HIVinfection during sex with an infected partner
Mode of transmission
2. Parenteral- In 15 % cases, it is by blood transfusion or blood
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
product transfusion.
3. Sharing of unsterilized needles or syringes in drug addicts
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
contaminated with blood from an infected person can spreadvirus.
4. HIV can be spread in health-care set ings through accidental
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
needle sticks or contact with contaminated fluids.
5. HIV can also spread through organ transplantation.

Summary of early events in HIV infection

HIV infection? Immune activation and inflammation contribute substantially to:
(1) the replication of HIV,
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
(2) the induction of immune dysfunction, and(3) the increased incidence of chronic conditions associated with persistent immune
activation and inflammation
? Accelerated aging syndrome

? Cardiovascular disease
? Diabetes
? Kidney disease

? Idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura,? Graves' disease,
? Antiphospholipid syndrome, and
? Primary biliary cirrhosis
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is an autoimmune-like phenomenoncharacterized by a paradoxical deterioration of clinical condition, which is usually
compartmentalized to a particular organ system, in individuals in whom cART has recently been
initiated.
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
? It is associated with a decrease in viral load and at least partial recovery of immunecompetence, which is usually associated with increases in CD4+ T cell counts.

Laboratory Diagnosis of HIV infection

1) Non Specific Tests- The fol owing tests help to establish theimmunodeficiency in HIV infection.
? Total Leukocyte and lymphocyte count- to demonstrate leucopenia

and lymphopenia. The lymphocytic count is usual y below
2000/mm3

? T cell subset Assays- Absolute CD4+ cell count is reduced with T4 :T8 ratio is reversed
? Platelet count-shows Thrombocytopenia.

? IgA and Ig G levels are raised
? Diminished cell mediated Immunity as indicated by skin tests

? Lymph node biopsy shows profound abnormalitiesLaboratory Diagnosis of HIV infection
2.Specific Tests for HIV infection- Diagnosis depends on the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
demonstration of antibodies to HIV and/or the direct detection of HIV or one of its
components
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
Detection of antigen - p24 Capture ELISA assay, is positive in about30% of the infected persons.
? In the first few weeks after infection and in the terminal
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
phase, the test is uniformly positive
Detection of antibodies - It takes 2-8 weeks to months for the
--- Content provided by FirstRanker.com ---
antibodies to appear in circulationRecently, the interval between infection and detection (window period) has decreased from
22 days for antibody testing to 16 days with p24 antigen testing and subsequently to 12 days
