Nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitors have formed the backbone of anti-human immunodeficiency virus therapy for the last decade (see Table Characteristics of Nucleoside Reverse Transcriptase Inhibitors). Reverse transcription is necessary for human immunodeficiency virus RNA to be used as a template to produce viral DNA, which can be integrated into the cellular genome. In order for reverse transcription to take place, deoxynucleotide must be added to the end of the elongating DNA. A 3′-hydroxyl group is present on the sugar moiety of deoxynucleotides that can form a 3′,5′-phosphodiester bond allowing further addition of nucleotide triphosphates. Several deoxynucleotide analogs have …

Consideration should be given to altering the initial antiretroviral regimen in HIV-infected pediatric patients if there is clinical, immunologic, or virologic evidence of disease progression; if there are signs of toxicity or intolerance; or if new data become available indicating that a drug or regimen is superior to the current regimen. Clinical events that may indicate disease progression in an HIV-infected child and warrant consideration of a change in antiretroviral therapy include progressive neurodevelopmental deterioration or growth failure (i.e., persistent, unexplained decline in weight growth velocity despite adequate nutritional support). Progressive neurodevelopmental deterioration is defined as persistence or progression …

• Patient Compliance Patient compliance with recommended regimens (even when asymptomatic) is essential to the potential benefits of antiretroviral therapy. Adherence to antiretroviral regimens is an important determinant of both the degree and duration of virologic suppression. Excellent adherence has been shown to increase the likelihood of sustained virologic control, which is important for reducing HIV-associated morbidity and mortality. Poor adherence has been shown to increase the likelihood of virologic failure and can lead to the development of resistance and limit the effectiveness of antiretroviral therapy. There is evidence that nonadherence in patients receiving HAART is the strongest predictor …

• Drug Interactions Among the Antiretroviral Agents While further study is needed, data are accumulating regarding pharmacokinetic interactions among the various antiretroviral agents, especially those involving the HIV protease inhibitors and NNRTIs, and the need for dosage adjustments as a result of these interactions. While some pharmacokinetic interactions between antiretroviral agents can be used for therapeutic advantage (e.g., use of low-dose ritonavir to boost plasma concentrations of some other HIV protease inhibitors), other interactions can result in suboptimal drug concentrations and reduced therapeutic effects and should be avoided. The pharmacokinetic interaction between ritonavir and other HIV protease inhibitors is …

The fact that hyperglycemia, new-onset diabetes mellitus, exacerbation of preexisting diabetes mellitus, and diabetic ketoacidosis have occurred in HIV-infected individuals receiving HIV protease inhibitors should be considered when these drugs are used during pregnancy. Because pregnancy is itself a risk factor for hyperglycemia and it is not known whether use of an HIV protease inhibitor exacerbates this risk, glucose concentrations should be monitored closely in pregnant women receiving these drugs and these women should be advised about the warning signs of hyperglycemia and diabetes (e.g., increased thirst and hunger, unexplained weight loss, increased urination, fatigue, dry or itchy skin). …

Since most occupational exposures to HIV do not result in transmission of the virus, the potential toxicity of PEP regimens must be considered carefully and, whenever possible, prophylaxis should be implemented in consultation with clinicians who have expertise in antiretroviral therapy and HIV transmission. Modification of the recommended regimens may be appropriate based on factors such as whether the source patient is known or suspected of being infected with drug-resistant strains of HIV; the local availability of antiretroviral agents; and the medical condition, concurrent drug therapy, and drug toxicity in the exposed health-care worker. The CDC has made the …

Safety and efficacy of zidovudine in pregnant women have been established and the drug appears to be well tolerated during pregnancy. In addition to zidovudine, data are available from clinical trials in pregnant women for didanosine, lamivudine, and stavudine; data regarding use of abacavir or tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (a nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitor) are not available to date. Follow-up of uninfected children born to women enrolled in study PACTG 076 (from birth to a median age of 4.2 years) has not revealed any difference in growth, neurodevelopment, or immunologic status among infants born to women who received zidovudine for …
