    • Continual monitoring of the patient's condition.
    • Education and health teaching.

    Acquired Immune Deficiency

    • Acquired from chemotherapy and pathogens like HIV.

    HIV Infection and AIDS

    • First identified in 1981.
    • First decade focused on recognition and treatment of opportunistic infections.
    • Second decade focused on highly active antiretroviral therapies (HAART).
    • Third decade focused on preventing new infections, adhering to antiretroviral therapy (ART), developing second-generation combination medications, and the need for an effective vaccine.

    Epidemiology

    • Global prevalence: approximately 38 million people worldwide living with HIV.
    • Approximately 1.5 million new infections and 650,000 AIDS-related deaths reported in 2021.
    • Sub-Saharan Africa accounts for about 70% of the global burden of HIV.

    Modes of Transmission

    • Primary routes: unprotected sexual contact, sharing contaminated needles, blood transfusions, mother-to-child transmission (during childbirth or breastfeeding).
    • Vulnerable populations: men who have sex with men (MSM), sex workers, people who inject drugs (PWID), and transgender people.

    Demographic and Social Determinants

    • Gender: Women and young girls disproportionately affected in some regions due to gender-based violence, limited access to healthcare, and economic dependence.
    • Age: Adolescents and young adults (15-24) account for a significant number of new infections, necessitating youth-targeted interventions.
    • Socioeconomic Factors: Poverty, lack of education, stigma, and discrimination limit access to prevention, testing, and treatment services.
    • Decline in new infections and AIDS-related deaths since the peak of the epidemic, due to antiretroviral therapy (ART) and prevention efforts.
    • Geographical variation: some regions experience significant declines, while others, like Eastern Europe and Central Asia, face rising numbers due to limited ART coverage and increased intravenous drug use.

    Prevention Strategies

    • Condom Use: Consistent condom use remains a crucial preventive measure.
    • Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP): Daily PrEP use by high-risk individuals exhibits significant efficacy in preventing HIV acquisition.
    • Education and Awareness: Public health campaigns, community engagement, and comprehensive sex education are important to address misconceptions and promote healthy behaviors.

    Modes of HIV Transmission

    • Sexual transmission.
    • Blood and blood products.
    • Mother-to-child transmission (MTCT).

    Factors Increasing Transmission Risk

    • Viral load.
    • Presence of other STIs.
    • Unprotected sexual practices.
    • Type of sexual contact.

    Special Considerations for Healthcare Workers

    • Standard precautions.
    • Needle-stick injury protocol (PEP).
    • Family planning considerations for women with HIV.
    • Risks for discordant couples (one partner HIV-positive).
    • Counseling for women considering pregnancy.
    • Findings from the ECHO Trial on contraception and HIV risk.
    • Breastfeeding recommendations for HIV-infected women.

    HIV Prevention in LGBTQ Populations

    • Increased HIV risk among LGBTQ individuals.
    • Social challenges faced by LGBTQ communities.
    • Cultural competence in healthcare.

    Pathophysiology of HIV

    • The Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) targets and destroys the immune system, specifically CD4+ T cells, which have a crucial role in immune defense.

    HIV Life Cycle

    • Seven key drug classes interfere with different stages of the HIV life cycle: binding/attachment, fusion, reverse transcription, replication, assembly, budding, and protease.

    Stages of HIV Infection

    • Primary infection: flu-like symptoms, high viral load.
    • Symptomatic stage: immune system weakens, CD4 count is between 200-499 cells/mm3.
    • AIDS: severe immune suppression, opportunistic infections, and life-threatening complications.

    Assessment Findings

    • Health history.
    • Physical examination.
    • Psychosocial assessment

    HIV Diagnostic Findings

    • HIV testing.
    • CD4+ T cell count.
    • Viral load testing.
    • Other laboratory tests.
    • Genotypic and phenotypic resistance testing.

    Treatment of HIV Infection

    • Crucial for optimizing health outcomes and quality of life.
    • Important for adherence and optimizing treatment responses.

    Goals of Nutrition Therapy

    • Optimization for health outcomes and quality of life.

    • Identifying potential risk factors (risky sexual practices and injection drug use).
    • Assessing overall physical and psychological status.
    • Evaluating nutritional status (dietary history, factors interfering with oral intake).

    Nursing Diagnoses

    • Impaired nutritional intake.
    • Social isolation.
    • Grief.
    • Lack of knowledge.
