Algorithm for nPEP Usage Significant exposure risk Negligible exposure risk >72 hours since exposure ≤72 hours Source patient known to be HIV+ Source patient of unknown HIV status nPEP not recommended nPEP recommended Case-by-case determination Based upon British and USA Guidelines
Algorithm for nPEP Usage Significant exposure risk Negligible exposure risk >72 hours since exposure ≤72 hours Source patient known to be HIV+ Source patient of unknown HIV status nPEP not recommended nPEP recommended Case-by-case determination If “source” patient is on ART and undetectable? Based upon British and USA Guidelines
Concerns with post-exposure prophylaxis • Cost and cost-effectiveness • Access issues (within 72 hours) • Poor tolerability of existing regimens • Multiple presentations • Patients ability to predict “risk” • Failure to demonstrate benefit at population level • Praca Onze project in Brazil • How to alter recommendations if “source” individual is on ART and “undetectable…”

FEM-PREP – closed on 18 April 2011 Equal numbers of HIV seroconversions (28 each gp) • Women from Kenya, South Africa and Tanzania, many of whom were commercial sex workers • Daily truvada (tenofovir + emtricitabine) • 28 seroconversions in each group (estimated 95% CI for HR: 0.59-1.69) • Higher pregnancy rate in the women taking truvada • Self-reported adherence ~ 95% overall
Antiretroviral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis for HIV-1 Prevention among Heterosexual African Men and Women: The Partners PrEP Study Jared Baeten & Connie Celum on behalf of The Partners PrEP Study Team IAS 2011
Partners PrEP Study 4758 HIV serodiscordant couples (HIV+ partner not yet medically eligible for ART) Randomize HIV- partners (normal liver, renal, hematologic function) TDF once daily FTC/TDF once daily Placebo once daily Follow couples for up to 36 months 1° endpoint: HIV infection in HIV- partner Co- 1° endpoint: Safety All receiving comprehensiveHIV prevention services
Primary efficacy results • Primary analysis: modified intention-to-treat (mITT) • excluding infections present at randomization (3 TDF, 3 FTC/TDF, 6 placebo) Effect of TDF and FTC/TDF statistically similar (p=0.18) ITT analysis results similar
Subgroup analysis - gender • Both TDF and FTC/TDF significantly reduced HIV risk in both men and women Women: 42 total infections: 8 TDF, 9 FTC/TDF, 25 placebo Men: 36 infections: 10 TDF, 4 FTC/TDF, 22 placebo

Why only 3 of 4 studies show a benefit? • Multiple researchers working on: • Adherence • Pharmacokinetics • Sexual behaviour • Further studies still to report
Future PrEP Studies: ethical considerations • Is it ethical to have a placebo? • ANRS Study: Coital PrEP in MSM • UK: Immediate versus deferred PrEP • Will it be acceptable not to have a placebo? • “pill parties”
Issues with implementing PrEP • Which drug(s)? • maraviroc, raltegravir • How often? • Daily, coitally? • Who to target? • How often to monitor? • HIV test, toxicity screening • Population impacts: condom displacement, resistance

Models of ART and transmission Impact may be different for MSM and heterosexuals?
Spectrum of Engagement in HIV Care - USA The authors estimated that only about 19% of HIV infected individuals in the USA have an undetectable HIV-1 RNA level Gardner E, McLees M, Steiner J, del Rio C, Burman W, Clin Infect Dis. (2011) 52 (6): 793-800
Might test-and-treat work differently in different contexts? • Heterosexual epidemic • Lower partner change rate • Less concurrency • Most transmissions occur from established infection • Homosexual epidemic • High rates of partner change • More concurrency • High rates of onward transmission from acute infection
