  1. www.icad-cisd.com New Prevention Technologies Workshop Module 2: NPTs in context

  2. National Policy HIV prevention (including NPTs) is a core component of the following national policy frameworks: • Leading Together: Canada Takes Action on HIV/AIDS  • Federal Initiative to Address HIV/AIDS in Canada • Canadian HIV Vaccines Initiative • Canadian HIV Vaccines Plan • Canadian Microbicides Action Plan

  3. Percentage of at-risk people with access to HIV prevention <20% Sex workers with access to behaviour change programmes 11% HIV+ pregnant women with access to PMTCT 10–12% Adults in Africa accessing HIV testing 9% Men who have sex with men with access to appropriate behaviour change programmes 9% Sexually active people with access to male condoms 8% Injection drug users with access to harm reduction programmes Rose to 45% recently 0 20 40 60 80 100

  4. Imagine a full spectrum of interventions • Rights-focused behaviour change • Voluntary counselling & testing • Sexually transmitted infection screening and treatment • Male medical circumcision • Preventative vaccines • Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) • Male & Female condoms and lubricant • Treatment to prevent vertical transmission (PMTCT) • Clean injecting equipment • Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) • Vaginal & rectal microbicides • Cervical barriers • Antiretroviral treatment • Treatment for opportunistic infections • Basic care/nutrition • Prevention for positives • Education and rights-focused behaviour change • Therapeutic vaccines • Functional cure

  5. Vaccines Male and female condoms PrEP PEP Microbicides PMTCT HIV Prevention Cervical barriers: vaginal diaphragms Male circumcision Clean injecting equipment Voluntary counselling and testing

  6. Protection in Primary Partnerships: Difficult to Achieve •  People generally are willing to use condoms with new partners, or during casual or commercial sex • But once “trust” enters the equation the condom comes off • Sex with a primary partner is the biggest source of HIV infection among women globally

  7. Why condoms are not enough

  8. ABCs…not so simple ABC—abstinence, be faithful, use a condom • Abstinence – not relevant in the context of primary sexual partnerships, and unrealistic for most people • Be Faithful – partner’s fidelity is outside of an individual’s control • Use Condoms - not relevant in the context of primary sexual partnerships, doesn’t allow conception, under control of male partner

  9. Partial efficacy

  10. Condoms and NPTs

  11. DISCUSSION QUESTION What is higher priority: • Advocating for improved access to existing prevention interventions? • Advocating for more prevention options? • Both? WHY?
