Screening for HIV Infection in Asymptomatic, Nonpregnant Adolescents and Adults: A Systematic Review for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force. Evidence Synthesis No. 176. AHRQ Publication No. 18-05246-EF-1. Rockville, MD: Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality; 2019. Screening for HIV in Adolescents and Adults ii Pacific Northwest EPC Structured Abstract Background: A 2012 systematic review on HIV screening for the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) found strong evidence that antiretroviral therapy (ART) is associated with improved clinical outcomes in persons with CD4+ T helper cell (CD4) counts less than 500 cells/mm3 and substantially decreases risk of HIV transmission, with certain antiretroviral agents potentially associated with long-term cardiovascular harms. The USPSTF previously found HIV screening tests to be highly accurate. Purpose: To systematically update the 2012 USPSTF review on screening for HIV in adolescents and adults, focusing on research gaps identified in the prior review. Data Sources: We searched the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, and MEDLINE (2012 to June 2018) and manually reviewed reference lists, with surveillance through January 2019. Study Selection: Randomized, controlled trials (RCTs) and controlled observational studies on benefits and harms of screening versus no screening and on the yield of screening at different intervals; the effects of earlier versus later initiation of ART; and long-term (≥2 years) harms of ART. Data Extraction: One investigator abstracted data and a second investigator checked data abstraction for accuracy. Two investigators independently assessed study quality using methods developed by the USPSTF. Data Synthesis (Results): We did not identify any studies on benefits or harms of HIV screening versus no screening, or on the yield of repeat versus one-time screening or of screening at different intervals. Two new RCTs conducted completely or partially in low-resource settings found initiation of ART in persons with CD4 counts greater than 500 cells/mm3 associated with lower risk of composite clinical outcomes (mortality, AIDS-defining events, or serious non- AIDS events) (relative risk [RR], 0.44 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.31 to 0.63] and RR, 0.57 [95% CI, 0.35 to 0.95]); early initiation of ART was not associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events. A large observational study also found initiation of ART in persons in high-resource settings with CD4 counts greater than 500 cells/mm3 to be associated with reduced risk of mortality or AIDS events, although the magnitude of effect was smaller. New evidence regarding the association between abacavir use and increased risk of cardiovascular events was inconsistent, and certain antiretroviral regimens were associated with increased risk of long-term neuropsychiatric, renal, hepatic, and bone adverse events. Limitations: Only English-language articles were included. Observational studies were included. Studies conducted in resource-poor settings were included, which might limit applicability to general screening in the United States. Conclusions: New evidence extends effectiveness of ART to asymptomatic persons with CD4 counts greater than 500 cells/mm3. Certain ART regimens may be associated with long-term cardiovascular, neuropsychiatric, hepatic, renal, or bone harms, but early initiation of ART is not Screening for HIV in Adolescents and Adults iii Pacific Northwest EPC associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events.

Although great efforts have been made to find effective medication, there are still no drugs that truly cure viral infections. There are currently approximately 90 drugs approved for the treatment of human viral infections. As resistance toward available antiviral drugs has become a global threat to health, there is an intrinsic need to identify new scaffolds that are useful in discovering innovative, less toxic and highly active antiviral agents. 1,3,4-Thiadiazole derivatives have been extensively studied due to their pharmacological profile, physicochemical and pharmacokinetic properties. This review provides an overview of the various synthetic compounds containing the 2-amino-1,3,4-thiadiazole moiety that has been evaluated for antiviral activity against several viral strains and could be considered possible prototypes for the development of new antiviral drugs.

Pronounced recent progress, coupled with previous research findings, highlights the impact of this moiety in medicinal chemistry. Here, we highlight the most important breakthroughs made with phosphinates with a range of pharmacological activities against many diseases, including anti-inflammatory, anti-Alzheimer, antiparasitic, antihepatitis, antiproliferative, anti-influenza, anti-HIV, antimalarial, and antimicrobial agents. We also provide the current status of the corresponding prodrugs, drug-delivery systems, and drug applications of phosphinic acids in the clinical stage Introduction and scope On searching ‘phosphinic acid’ as a keyword in any chemistry The phosphinic acid chemistry story began with the pioneering database; a countless amount of literature references; journal work of August Wilhelm Hofmann in 1855 on methylphosphinic articles; books; and patents appear as proof of its importance acid [1]. The broad biological applications of phosphinic acids are in chemical research; thus; it is impractical to survey the litera- driven by their four combined features: tetrahedral transition state ture of phosphinic acids without narrowing the search to specific resemblance; ability to form electrostatic interactions;, hydrogen perspectives.

  • Drug Interactions Between Hormonal Contraceptives and Antiretrovirals
    Drug interactions between hormonal contraceptives and antiretrovirals Kavita Nandaa, Gretchen S. Stuartb, Jennifer Robinsonc, Andrew L. Grayd, Naomi K. Teppere and Mary E. Gaffieldf Objective: To summarize published evidence on drug interactions between hormonal contraceptives and antiretrovirals. Design: Systematic review of the published literature. Methods: We searched PubMed, POPLINE, and EMBASE for peer-reviewed publi- cations of studies (in any language) from inception to 21 September 2015. We included studies of women using hormonal contraceptives and antiretrovirals concurrently. Outcomes of interest were effectiveness of either therapy, toxicity, or pharmacokinetics. We used standard abstraction forms to summarize and assess strengths and weaknesses. Results: Fifty reports from 46 studies were included. Most antiretrovirals whether used for therapy or prevention, have limited interactions with hormonal contraceptive methods, with the exception of efavirenz. Although depot medroxyprogesterone acetate is not affected, limited data on implants and combined oral contraceptive pills suggest that efavirenz-containing combination antiretroviral therapy may compromise contraceptive effectiveness of these methods. However, implants remain very effective despite such drug interactions. Antiretroviral plasma concentrations and effectiveness are generally not affected by hormonal contraceptives. Conclusion: Women taking antiretrovirals, for treatment or prevention, should not be denied access to the full range of hormonal contraceptive options, but should be counseled on the expected rates of unplanned pregnancy associated with all contra- ceptive methods, in order to make their own informed choices.

    Anti-HIV Drug Discovery, Development and Synthesis of Delavirdine: Review article Wollela Behja1 Mudin Jemal 2 1 Chemistry Department, College of Natural and Computational Sciences, Wolkite University, Ethiopia P.O.Box 07 Wolkite University, Ethiopia 2 Chemistry Department, Natural Sciences College, Jimma University, Ethiopia P.O.Box 378 Jimma University, Ethiopia ABSTRACT Viruses are the smallest infectious agents of animal and plant tissues. Viruses are totally dependent on living cells to survive as they utilize the host cell's own replication processes, in order to reproduce themselves. HIV is the causative agent of AIDS. HIV is an unusually difficult to treat because it incorporate its own genetic material into the genome of an infected host cell. It infects T cells that carry the CD4 antigen on their surface. Binding and fusion, reverse transcription, integration, transcription, assembly and budding are the major steps of the HIV life cycle. The HIV/AIDS disease is treated by interrupting the HIV life cycle with specially designed drugs. The discovery of effective drugs against HIV has focused on targeting various critical components of the replication cycle of HIV. Depending on the target within the HIV replicative cycle they interact with, anti-HIV compounds are categorized into six groups. These are: nucleoside (nucleotide) reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs), non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NNRTIs), protease inhibitors (PIs), cell entry inhibitors or fusion inhibitors (FIs), co-receptor inhibitors (CRIs) and integrase inhibitors (INIs). The development of effective anti-HIV drugs is difficult due to wide variations in nucleotide and amino acid sequences. The development of anti-HIV drug passes through several important steps.
