Get tested regularly for HIV
Practice abstinence
Remain faithful to your spouse or
partner
Consistently use male latex or female
Treatment
Antiretroviral drugs (ARVs)
Are not a cure
Slow down the process of replication
of HIV in the human body
Prevent and treat Opportunistic
Infections
Prevent mother-to-child-
transmission
During pregnancy and delivery
Safer infant feeding
Access to services / availability of
Antiretroviral Drugs
Class:
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase inhibitors (NRTI)
Non-Nucleoside Transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTI)
Protease inhibitors (PI)
Do not cure people of HIV or AIDS rather,
they suppress the virus, even to undetectable
levels, but they do not completely eliminate
HIV from the body lead longer and
healthier lives can still transmit the virus

Opportunistic infection?
Also called OI
An infection or illness that takes the
OPPORTUNITY to cause an illness in a
person who is immunocompromised
Opportunistic infections are more common
in persons who have a lower CD4 count
HIV doesnt kill OIs kill
Most OIs are treatable/curable
Some are preventable
Early treatment for OIs prolongs life!

Management of TB in HIV pos
persons
If pts started ARV and TB therapy
together there was an increased risk
of progression to Aids
CD4 <200 where main problems
were seen and it was much better to
delay antiretroviral therapy start Tx
TB first
CD4 > 200 there was no difference
when it was started
Parasite
infestation

Asymptometic amebiais:
Luminal agent (paromomycin, diloxanide
furate, or iodohydroxyquin)
Amebic Colitis: Metronidazole & a
luminal agent
Amebic Liver Absces : Metronidazole &
a luminal agent
Prevention
Although the adult form of these intestinal nematodes can be distinguished, the
diagnostic form in humans, the ova, are essentially identicall, oval and measure about
60 X 40 m, typically a clear space between the embryo and the thin shell.
(unstained wet-prep)
Treatment
Mebendazole (100 mg twice daily X 3 days) or
Albendazole (400 mg as a single dose)
Mebendazole is poorly absorbed and may not eradicate
developmentally arrested Ancylostoma larvae residing in
extraintestinal issues. Therefore periodic follow up stool
examination may be necesessary
Alternate Treatment:
Pyrantel pamoate (11 mg/kg up to 1 gm/day, X 3 days)
Re-infection in endemic areas occur so commonly that
the effect of single course of treatment is of
questionable benefit
Iron supplementaion reverses mild to modertae
hookworm anemis
Tapeworms : Taenia saginata and Taenia solium
T. saginata:
Widespread in cattle breeding areas of the world
Prevalence >10% in some independent states of the former
Soviet Union, in Near East, and in central and eastern Africa.
Lower rates : in Europe, Southeast Asia, & South America
T. solium:
Prevalent in Mexico, Central and South America, Africa,
Southeast, Asia,and the Philippines
Infections in USA and Canada are found in immigrants from
areas where taeniasis is endemic, and in travelers who consume
undercooked meats in endemic areas
