Today Dr. Abhishek discussed a very important clinical situation, what happens if during patient treatment you unknowingly come in contact with a patient and later their report turns out to be HIV positive. He explained that HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is a virus that attacks the immune system, mainly CD4 cells. According to WHO, when the CD4 count falls below 200 cells/mm³, HIV progresses into AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). Normally a healthy individual has a CD4 count between 500–1500 cells/mm³. HIV gradually weakens immunity over years if untreated, making the body extremely vulnerable to infections and cancers.

He discussed that treatment must start early. ART stands for Antiretroviral Therapy. These medicines suppress the replication of HIV inside the body so that the virus cannot multiply. Even though ART cannot completely cure HIV, when taken correctly and regularly, it helps maintain normal CD4 levels, prevents conversion into AIDS, and allows the person to live a long and healthy life. ART also reduces the viral load to such a low level that it becomes undetectable.

Dr. Abhishek also explained the concept of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP). PrEP is given to people at high risk before exposure to prevent HIV transmission. PEP is given immediately after accidental exposure (such as a needlestick injury or accidental contact during treatment) and must be started ideally within 72 hours. ART drugs are the primary medicines used in both PrEP and PEP, and they help stop the virus from multiplying in the body, therefore preventing the infection from establishing itself and preventing transmission further.

Today, Dr. Abhishek Shukla explained how a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction) is diagnosed using a combination of clinical symptoms, ECG findings, and cardiac biomarkers. The most critical ECG finding is ST-segment elevation in specific leads corresponding to the affected coronary artery territory. When a patient presents with acute chest pain, radiation to the arm or jaw, sweating, or breathlessness, the ECG is immediately evaluated. If ST elevation or new-onset left bundle branch block is present, it strongly suggests an STEMI.

Along with the ECG, cardiac biomarkers such as Troponin-T play a key role. A positive or rising troponin confirms myocardial injury and supports the diagnosis. Once STEMI is suspected, the priority is to restore blood flow to the blocked coronary artery as quickly as possible. This requires urgent coronary angiography (CAG) to identify the culprit vessel. The standard intervention is Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) to the Infarct-Related Artery (IRA), which significantly reduces mortality and improves heart muscle recovery.

Dr. Abhishek also emphasized the immediate medications used in acute management. These include aspirin (Ecospirin) 325 mg, a loading dose of clopidogrel 300 mg, and high-intensity statin therapy such as atorvastatin 80 mg. In settings where immediate PCI is not available, thrombolytic agents may be used to dissolve the clot. These evidence-based interventions, when administered promptly, help limit heart muscle damage and improve patient outcomes.
