Background • Globally, HIV-infection is estimated to affect over 34 million individuals, with 2/3 of infections heterosexually acquired1 • 20-75% desire to conceive2-6 • Serodiscordant couples engage in transmission-risk behavior in order to conceive7 1UNAIDS Global Summary of HIV Infection, 2011 2 Stanwood NL et al., Contraception 2007 3 Finocchario-Kessler S et al., AIDS Behavior 2010 4 Cooper D et al., AIDS Behavior 2009 5 Schwartz SR et al., AIDS Behavio, 2012 6 Landovitz RJ et al., 20th CROI 2013, Abstract #1069 7 Brubaker SG et al., HIV Medicine 2010
Background • Protection against HIV transmission during conception among serodiscordant couples remains challenging • Options include self insemination or assisted reproduction • Optimal procedures are often prohibitive due to cost and lack of widespread availability (sperm washing+adjunctive) • Less costly menu of options: Timing of intercourse, STI treatment, PrEP, ART for positive partner. And of course, the good-old-fashioned approach
Aims • To evaluate the additive benefit of PrEP for successful conception, without HIV transmission in the setting of an HIV+ male and HIV- female • To explore the relative benefits of ART and PrEP, singly and in combination across multiple clinical scenarios • To evaluate the impact of maternal age on annual successful conception/HIV non-transmission probabilities • Primary outcome of interest is a previously HIV- woman remaining HIV-uninfected and successfully conceiving and delivering a child

Methods-2 • Additional Model Inputs: • Probability of conception by age • Probability of successful delivery by age • Number of unprotected sex acts to achieve successful conception • Classification and Regression Tree (CART) analysis was used to establish hierarchy of importance of parameters to outcome of interest
Optimal Scenario Sub-optimal Scenario 0-12 Sex Acts localized to Ovulation Period (Sampled around 3) 0-60 Sex Acts distributed over Entire Menstrual Cycle (Sampled around 15)
Optimal Scenario Sub-optimal Scenario 0-12 Sex Acts localized to Ovulation Period (Sampled around 3) 0-60 Sex Acts distributed over Entire Menstrual Cycle (Sampled around 15)
Results - 1: Optimal Scenario* p = NS⌘ 27.6% 30.6% 30.7% 29.5% *Assumes STIs diagnosed and treated in both partners ⌘All other pair-wise comparisons p < 0.0001
Results - 2: Suboptimal Scenario*⌘ 30.3% 17.0% 29.3% 24.1% *Assumes STIs diagnosed and treated in both partners ⌘All pair-wise comparisons p < 0.0001
Results - 3: Both Scenarios* p < 0.0001 p < 0.0001 p < 0.0001 p < 0.0001 30.3% 17.0% 29.3% 24.1% 27.6% 30.6% 30.7% 29.5% 30.3% 17.0% 29.3% 24.1% *Assumes STIs diagnosed and treated in both partners
Results - 2 • CART analysis of the outcome of an HIV-uninfected woman delivering a child • In the optimal clinical scenario, age is the most influential factor • In the sub-optimal clinical scenario, for women <40, ART treatment is next-most important parameter
Conclusions • Based upon our inputs to our model, PrEP provides little added benefit when all are true: • The HIV-infected male partner is on ART • Unprotected intercourse is limited to the period of ovulation • STIs are diagnosed and treated in both partners • In the timing-optimized scenario, there is little absolute difference between any of the 4 strategies • In the non-timing optimized scenario, ART treatment of the HIV+ male partner drives the differences between strategies • The model highlights that younger age is associated with the desired outcome
Public Health Implications and Caveats • Model results are limited by inputs, and do not substitute for clinical decision making on individual basis • These data are reassuring that patients can have desired results without the addition of PrEP if they are motivated to optimize other modifiable risk factors (provided ART is available)
