==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Antiretrovirals (ARVs) are medications used for treatment and prevention of [[Special:MyLanguage/HIV|HIV]] infection. Emergency physicians most commonly encounter ARVs in the context of [[Special:MyLanguage/HIV post-exposure prophylaxis|post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)]], managing patients on chronic antiretroviral therapy (ART), and recognizing drug interactions or adverse effects. '''ART should never be discontinued in the ED''' — interrupting therapy risks viral rebound, immune reconstitution failure, and development of drug resistance.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IAS2024&amp;quot;&amp;gt;Gandhi RT, Landovitz RJ, Sax PE, et al.

&lt;br /&gt;
'''PEPline for expert consultation: 1-888-448-4911'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===HIV Treatment===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Dosing is regimen-specific; do not modify, hold, or restart a patient's ART regimen in the ED without specialist consultation&lt;br /&gt;
*If a patient cannot take oral medications (e.g., intubated, NPO for surgery), consult HIV specialist urgently — treatment interruption decisions must balance resistance risk&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pediatric Dosing==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===HIV PEP (Pediatric)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Age ≥2 years and ≥25 kg:''' Biktarvy (BIC/FTC/TAF) — weight-based dosing available in pediatric tablets&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;CDCnPEP2025&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Age ≥4 weeks and ≥3 kg:''' Dolutegravir (weight-based) PLUS age-appropriate NRTI backbone (FTC/TAF or AZT/3TC for neonates)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Neonates (&amp;lt;4 weeks):''' Consult pediatric ID specialist; regimens vary by age and weight&lt;br /&gt;
*'''PEPline: 1-888-448-4911''' for pediatric dosing assistance&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===HIV Treatment (Pediatric)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Dosing is weight-based and regimen-specific; managed by pediatric HIV specialists&lt;br /&gt;
*Do not modify regimens in the ED&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Special Populations==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===[[Special:MyLanguage/Drug pregnancy categories|Pregnancy]]===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*ART should be continued throughout pregnancy to prevent vertical transmission&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IAS2024&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Preferred agents in pregnancy:''' Dolutegravir-based regimens (previously avoided in first trimester due to neural tube defect concern; now recommended based on larger safety data)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IAS2024&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Avoid:''' Efavirenz (teratogenicity concern); oral solutions containing alcohol/propylene glycol&lt;br /&gt;
*For PEP in pregnancy: Preferred regimen is raltegravir + emtricitabine/tenofovir (Truvada); dolutegravir is also acceptable&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;CDCnPEP2025&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*Consult OB/ID for management of HIV-positive pregnant patients in the ED&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Lactation===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*In the United States, women with HIV are advised '''not to breastfeed''' regardless of viral load (per US guidelines)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IAS2024&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*WHO guidelines differ — in resource-limited settings, breastfeeding while on suppressive ART is recommended&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;WHO2026&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Renal Dosing===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF):''' Requires dose adjustment with CrCl &amp;lt;50 mL/min; avoid if CrCl &amp;lt;30 mL/min&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF):''' No adjustment needed unless CrCl &amp;lt;15 mL/min and not on dialysis&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Dolutegravir, bictegravir, raltegravir:''' No renal adjustment needed&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Emtricitabine, lamivudine:''' Require dose adjustment with CrCl &amp;lt;50 mL/min&lt;br /&gt;
*Consult specific drug labeling or HIV pharmacist for complex renal impairment&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Hepatic Dosing===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Most NRTIs:''' No adjustment (renally eliminated)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Protease inhibitors (PIs):''' Hepatically metabolized; use with caution, contraindicated in severe impairment&lt;br /&gt;
*'''NNRTIs:''' Variable; efavirenz and rilpivirine should be avoided in severe hepatic impairment&lt;br /&gt;
*'''INSTIs:''' Generally no adjustment needed for mild-moderate impairment; limited data in severe impairment&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Abacavir:''' Contraindicated in moderate-severe hepatic impairment (hepatically metabolized)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Contraindications==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Allergy to specific drug/class&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Abacavir:''' Contraindicated if '''HLA-B*5701 positive''' (risk of fatal hypersensitivity reaction — do NOT restart after suspected reaction)&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IAS2024&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tenofovir DF (TDF):''' Avoid in significant renal impairment (CrCl &amp;lt;30 mL/min)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Protease inhibitors:''' Multiple contraindicated co-medications due to CYP3A4 inhibition (see Drug Interactions)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Dofetilide, flecainide, amiodarone:''' Contraindicated with boosted PIs&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Drug Interactions (Critical for ED Practice)==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{| class=&amp;quot;wikitable&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
! ARV Class !! Key Interaction Mechanism !! ED-Critical Interactions&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Boosted PIs''' (darunavir/r, atazanavir/r) || Potent CYP3A4 inhibitors || '''Contraindicated:''' oral midazolam, triazolam, ergotamines, simvastatin, lovastatin, amiodarone, flecainide. '''Caution:''' fentanyl (increased levels), methadone (decreased levels), warfarin, direct oral anticoagulants&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| '''Cobicistat''' (in Genvoya, Prezcobix) || CYP3A4 inhibitor (pharmacokinetic booster) || Same as boosted PIs above; also inhibits tubular creatinine secretion (raises creatinine without true GFR change)&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| '''INSTIs''' (dolutegravir, bictegravir, raltegravir) || Chelation with polyvalent cations || '''Separate from antacids, calcium, iron, magnesium by ≥2 hours''' (reduced absorption). Few other significant interactions — INSTIs are the safest class for drug interactions&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| '''NNRTIs''' (efavirenz, rilpivirine) || CYP3A4 inducers (efavirenz) or substrates || Efavirenz decreases methadone levels. Rilpivirine: avoid PPIs (reduced absorption); H2-blockers must be given 12 hours before or 4 hours after&lt;br /&gt;
|-&lt;br /&gt;
| '''NRTIs''' || Minimal CYP interactions || Tenofovir: avoid with nephrotoxic drugs. Zidovudine: additive hematologic toxicity with other myelosuppressive drugs&lt;br /&gt;
|}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''ED Pearl:''' If a patient on ART needs procedural sedation, '''IV midazolam may be used cautiously''' with boosted PIs (with dose reduction and monitoring), but '''oral midazolam is contraindicated'''. Propofol, ketamine, and etomidate have no significant ARV interactions and are safe choices.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Adverse Reactions==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Serious (Class-Specific)===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Abacavir hypersensitivity reaction:''' Fever, rash, GI symptoms, respiratory symptoms within first 6 weeks. '''NEVER rechallenge''' — can be fatal. Prevented by HLA-B*5701 screening&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IAS2024&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Lactic acidosis/hepatic steatosis:''' NRTIs (especially older agents: stavudine, didanosine; rare with current agents)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Tenofovir DF (TDF) nephrotoxicity:''' Fanconi syndrome, acute kidney injury, decreased bone mineral density&lt;br /&gt;
*'''[[Special:MyLanguage/Immune reconstitution syndrome|Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome]] (IRIS):''' Paradoxical worsening of preexisting infections (TB, MAC, CMV, PML, cryptococcus) after ART initiation; typically within first 4-8 weeks&lt;br /&gt;
*'''QT prolongation:''' Rilpivirine, PIs (especially with other QT-prolonging agents)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Hepatotoxicity:''' NNRTIs (nevirapine &amp;gt; efavirenz), PIs; risk increased with hepatitis B/C co-infection&lt;br /&gt;
*'''[[Special:MyLanguage/Stevens-Johnson syndrome|Stevens-Johnson syndrome]] / [[Special:MyLanguage/Toxic epidermal necrolysis|TEN]]:''' NNRTIs (nevirapine, efavirenz), abacavir&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Hepatitis B flare:''' Discontinuation of tenofovir, emtricitabine, or lamivudine (which have dual HIV/HBV activity) may trigger severe '''HBV reactivation''' — another reason not to stop ART in the ED&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IAS2024&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Common===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''GI effects:''' Nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain (most common with PIs; common reason for PEP nonadherence)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''CNS effects:''' Insomnia, vivid dreams, dizziness, depression (efavirenz; also reported with dolutegravir and bictegravir)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Weight gain:''' INSTIs (especially dolutegravir, bictegravir) and TAF-containing regimens&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;IAS2024&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Metabolic:''' Hyperlipidemia, insulin resistance (especially PIs)&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Rash:''' NNRTIs, abacavir&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Elevated creatinine (non-pathologic):''' Cobicistat and dolutegravir inhibit tubular creatinine secretion — creatinine rises ~0.1-0.15 mg/dL without true GFR change. Do NOT reflexively hold ART for this&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Pharmacology==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Half-life: Varies widely by class; oral agents typically 5-20 hours; long-acting injectables (cabotegravir, lenacapavir) have effective half-lives of weeks to months&lt;br /&gt;
*Metabolism: NRTIs — primarily renal; NNRTIs and PIs — primarily hepatic (CYP450); INSTIs — hepatic (UGT1A1) with renal component&lt;br /&gt;
*Excretion: Class-dependent (see above)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Mechanism of Action==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Each class targets a different step in the HIV replication cycle:&lt;br /&gt;
*'''NRTIs:''' Incorporated into growing viral DNA chain by reverse transcriptase, causing chain termination&lt;br /&gt;
*'''NNRTIs:''' Bind directly to reverse transcriptase at an allosteric site, altering enzyme conformation&lt;br /&gt;
*'''PIs:''' Block HIV protease from cleaving Gag-Pol polyprotein precursors into functional viral proteins&lt;br /&gt;
*'''INSTIs:''' Block integrase enzyme from inserting viral DNA into the host cell genome&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Entry/Fusion inhibitors:''' Block viral attachment (CCR5 antagonists), membrane fusion, or capsid assembly at various pre-integration steps&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Comments==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Key ED Pearls===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''Never stop ART''' — even temporarily. Risk of viral rebound, HBV flare (if co-infected), resistance development. If oral route unavailable, consult HIV specialist urgently&lt;br /&gt;
*'''PEP is time-sensitive''' — give the first dose in the ED, do not wait for labs. Biktarvy (1 tab daily × 28 days) is the simplest preferred regimen&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;CDCnPEP2025&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*'''IRIS is not treatment failure''' — it is a sign of immune recovery. Treat the underlying OI, continue ART. Consider steroids for severe IRIS after ID consultation&lt;br /&gt;
