2. INTRODUCTION
HIV continues to be a major global public health
issue, having claimed more than 32 million lives so
far.
However, with increasing access to effective HIV
prevention, diagnosis, treatment and care, including
for opportunistic infections, HIV infection has
become a manageable chronic health condition,
enabling people living with HIV to lead long and
healthy lives.
There were approximately 37.9 million people
living with HIV at the end of 2018.
4. BASIC FACTS ABOUT HIV
HIV stands for human immunodeficiency virus.
The virus destroys a type of white blood cell in the
immune system called a T-helper cell (CD4 cells) and
makes copies of it inside these cells
As HIV destroys more CD4 cells and makes more
copies of it, it gradually weakens a person’s immune
system.
If HIV is left untreated, it may take up to 10 or 15 years
for the immune system to be so severely damaged
However, the rate at which HIV progresses varies
depending on age, general health and background
5. BASIC FACTS ABOUT HIV
People with HIV can enjoy a long and healthy life
by taking ART which is effective and available to all.
It’s possible for antiretroviral treatment to reduce
the level of HIV in the body to such low levels that
blood tests cannot detect it.
People living with HIV whose viral load is confirmed
as undetectable cannot pass on HIV.
Regular for HIV is important to know your status.
6. BASIC FACTS ABOUT AIDS
AIDS stands for acquired immune deficiency
syndrome; it’s also called advanced HIV infection or
late-stage HIV.
AIDS is a set of symptoms and illnesses that
develop as a result of advanced HIV infection which
has destroyed the immune system.
Although there is no cure for HIV, with the right
treatment and support, people living with HIV can
enjoy long and healthy lives.
7. CAUSATIVE AGENT OF AIDS-
HUMAN IMMUNODEFICIENCY VIRUS
HIV is a retrovirus that contains only RNA.
The most common type is known as HIV-1
There is also an HIV-2 that is much less common
and less virulent, but eventually produces clinical
findings similar to HIV-1.
The HIV-1 type itself has a number of subtypes (A
through H and O) which have differing geographic
distributions but all produce AIDS similarly.
14. IMMUNOLOGICAL STAGING OF HIV
INFECTION
Stage CD4 cell count
Not significant
immunosuppression
>500/mm3
Mild immunosuppression 350 −499/mm3
Advanced
immunosuppression
200−349/mm3
Severe immunosuppression <200/mm3
15. IMPLICATIONS FOR CLINICAL AND IMMUNOLOGICAL
CRITERIA FOR INITIATING ART IN ADULTS AND
ADOLESCENTS
Clinical
stage
ART
4 Treat.
3 Consider treatment: CD4, if available, can guide
the urgency with which ART should be started.
1 or 2 Only if CD4<200/mm3
17. CANCERS COMMON TO HIV/AIDS
Kaposi's sarcoma.
A tumor of the blood
vessel walls, this cancer is
rare in people not infected
with HIV, but common in
HIV-positive people. It
usually appears as pink,
red or purple lesions on
the skin and mouth.
Lymphoma.
This cancer starts in the
white blood cells. The
most common early sign is
painless swelling of the
lymph nodes in your neck,
armpit or groin.
19. DIAGNOSIS OF HIV INFECTION
Serologic testing for HIV
• HIV antibody assays by ELISA and Western
blot
• Rapid tests / Card Test
• HIV p24 antigen assay
Urine and saliva Test
Viral Load Test
20. TESTS TO STAGE DISEASE AND TREATMENT
• CD4 T cell
count.
• Viral load
(HIV RNA).
• Drug
resistance.
26. AIDS MEDICATIONS
Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
(NRTI)
These drugs interrupt the virus from duplicating,
which may slow the spread of HIV in the body. They
include:
Abacavir (Ziagen, ABC)
Didanosine (Videx, dideoxyinosine, ddI)
Emtricitabine (Emtriva, FTC)
Lamivudine (Epivir, 3TC)
Stavudine (Zerit, d4T)
Tenofovir (Viread, TDF)
Zalcitabine (Hivid, ddC)
Zidovudine (Retrovir, ZDV or AZT)
27. PROTEASE INHIBITORS (PI)
These FDA-approved drugs interrupt virus
replication at a later step in the virus life cycle.
Protease inhibitors include:
Amprenavir (Agenerase, APV)
Atazanavir (Reyataz, ATV)
Fosamprenavir (Lexiva, FOS)
Indinavir (Crixivan, IDV)
Lopinavir (Kaletra, LPV/r)
Ritonavir (Norvir, RIT)
Saquinavir (Fortovase, Invirase, SQV)
28. OTHER AIDS MEDICATIONS
Fusion Inhibitors
Fusion inhibitors are a new class of drugs that act
against HIV by preventing the virus from fusing with
the inside of a cell, preventing it from replicating.
The group of drugs includes Enfuvirtide, also
known as Fuzeon or T-20.
29. Non-Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors
(NNRTI)
Non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors
(NNRTIs) block the infection of new cells by HIV.
These drugs may be prescribed in combination with
other anti-retroviral drugs.
NNRTs include:
Delvaridine (Rescriptor, DLV)
Efravirenz (Sustiva, EFV)
Nevirapine (Viramune, NVP)
30. Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy (HAART)
In 1996, highly active antiretroviral therapy
(HAART) was introduced for people with HIV and
AIDS.
HAART — often referred to as the anti-HIV
"cocktail" — is a combination of three or more
drugs, such as protease inhibitors and other anti-
retroviral medications.
The treatment is highly effective in slowing the rate
at which the HIV virus replicates itself, which may
slow the spread of HIV in the body.
The goal of HAART is to reduce the amount of virus
in your body, or the viral load, to a level that can no
longer be detected with blood tests.

33. PREVENTION
Use a new condom every time you have
sex.
Consider pre exposure prophylaxis
(PrEP).
Tell your sexual partners if you have HIV
Use a clean needle.
If you're pregnant, get medical care right
away.
Consider male circumcision
37. NURSING DIAGNOSES
Nursing Diagnosis: Diarrhea related to enteric
pathogens or HIV infection
Goal: Resumption of usual bowel habits
Nursing Diagnosis: Risk for infection related to
immunodeficiency
Goal: Absence of infection
Nursing Diagnosis: Ineffective airway clearance
related to Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia, increased
bronchial secretions, and decreased ability to cough
related to weakness and fatigue
Goal: Improved airway clearance
38. NURSING DIAGNOSES
Nursing Diagnosis: Imbalanced nutrition, less than
body requirements, related to decreased oral intake
Goal: Improvement of nutritional status
Nursing Diagnosis: Deficient knowledge related to
means of preventing HIV transmission
Goal: Increased knowledge concerning means of
preventing disease transmission
Nursing Diagnosis: Social isolation related to stigma of
the disease, withdrawal of support systems, isolation
procedures, and fear of infecting others
Goal: Decreased sense of social isolation
39. NURSING DIAGNOSES
Nursing Diagnosis Risk For compliocations :
Opportunistic infections; impaired breathing;
wasting syndrome and fluid and electrolyte
imbalances; adverse reaction to medications
Goal: Absence of complications
Opportunistic Infections
Impaired Breathing
Wasting Syndrome and Fluid and Electrolyte
Disturbances
Reactions to Medications

of Nurses in AIDS Care: July-August 2019 - Volume

41. RESULTS
We explored HIV nursing practice, particularly the
challenges that nurses face in promoting ART
adherence and opportunities for practice
development in the field.
The nurse–patient relationship was at the forefront
of nursing practice to support PLWH.
This practice translated into a range of nursing
activities to foster ART adherence by supporting
PLWH in their whole situation, including the
assessment of an array of dimensions related to
PLWH health, teaching and sharing knowledge,
coordinating care, and connecting PLWH with
resources.
42. RESULTS
Providing HIV nursing care, especially ART-related care,
to PLWH was challenging in three areas:
(a) performing nursing roles at the interface of social
and biomedical boundaries,
(b) misalignment between nurse and patient
expectations regarding ART (non) adherence,
making nurses feel powerless when faced with
situations of nonadherence, and
(c) dealing with sociopolitical determinants affecting
access to health care resources and
services. Nurses mobilized a range of resources—
knowledge, networks, and strategies—to build capacity
and overcome challenges relating to their practices with
PLWH.
