Dose response for starting and stopping HIV preexposure prophylaxis for men who have sex with men.

ABSTRACT: This study estimated the number of daily tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) doses required to achieve and maintain (after discontinuation) intracellular drug concentrations that protect against human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection for men who have sex with men (MSM).Tenofovir diphosphate (TFV-DP) concentrations in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and rectal mononuclear cells from an intensive pharmacokinetic study ("Cell-PrEP" [preexposure prophylaxis]) of 30 days of daily TDF/FTC followed by 30 days off drug were evaluated. A regression formula for HIV risk reduction derived from PBMCs collected in the preexposure prophylaxis initiative study was used to calculate inferred risk reduction. The time required to reach steady state for TFV-DP in rectal mononuclear cells was also determined.Twenty-one HIV-uninfected adults participated in Cell-PrEP. The inferred HIV risk reduction, based on PBMC TFV-DP concentration, reached 99% (95% confidence interval [CI], 69%-100%) after 5 daily doses, and remained >90% for 7 days after stopping drug from steady-state conditions. The proportion of participants reaching the 90% effective concentration (EC90) was 77% after 5 doses and 89% after 7 doses. The percentage of steady state for natural log [TFV-DP] in rectal mononuclear cells was 88% (95% CI, 66%-94%) after 5 doses and 94% (95% CI, 78%-98%) after 7 doses.High PrEP activity for MSM was achieved by approximately 1 week of daily dosing. Although effective intracellular drug concentrations persist for several days after stopping PrEP, a reasonable recommendation is to continue PrEP dosing for 4 weeks after the last potential HIV exposure, similar to recommendations for postexposure prophylaxis.

Project description:ImportanceEvidence on HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among Chinese men who have sex with men (MSM) is critical to guide its large-scale implementation in low- and middle-income countries.ObjectiveTo evaluate incident HIV infection, adherence, safety, and changes in sexual behaviors among MSM using daily PrEP (D-PrEP) and event-driven PrEP (ED-PrEP) in 4 cities in China.Design, setting, and participantsThis nonrandomized controlled trial was conducted among HIV-seronegative MSM from December 11, 2018, to November 30, 2020, in Beijing, Shenyang, Chongqing, and Shenzhen. Participants self-chose D-PrEP or ED-PrEP regimens at baseline and could switch regimens during the 12-month study period. HIV-negative MSM who declined to initiate PrEP (nonusers) in the same cities joined a separate parallel prospective cohort and served as control individuals.InterventionsPrEP consisted of coformulated tenofovir disoproxil fumarate, 300 mg, and emtricitabine, 200 mg.Main outcomes and measuresThe main outcome was incident HIV infection. Poisson regression was used to obtain the HIV incidence rate ratio (IRR).ResultsA total of 1530 MSM were included in the analysis (median age, 30 [IQR, 25-37] years). At baseline, 520 MSM chose D-PrEP (median age, 29 [IQR, 25-35] years) and 503 chose ED-PrEP (median age, 29 [IQR, 25-36] years). The median HIV Risk Index score was 18 (IQR, 12-22) among D-PrEP users and 18 (IQR, 11-22) among ED-PrEP users. Among 507 PrEP nonusers, the median age was 33 (IQR, 27-43) years, and the median HIV Risk Index score was 12 (IQR, 7-18). Although PrEP users had more baseline behaviors associated with HIV risk, the HIV incidence was lower among all PrEP users (adjusted IRR, 0.09 [95% CI, 0.04-0.21]), ED-PrEP users (adjusted IRR, 0.05 [95% CI, 0.01-0.22]), and D-PrEP users (adjusted IRR, 0.12 [95% CI, 0.04-0.33]) compared with PrEP nonusers. There was no difference in HIV incidence between D-PrEP users and ED-PrEP users (IRR, 0.33 [95% CI, 0.06-2.04]). Event-driven PrEP users consumed 40% fewer tablets than D-PrEP users during the study period. Adherence, defined as the proportion of self-reported days with sexual intercourse in which PrEP was taken according to prescription of at least 90%, increased over time among ED-PrEP users (from 57.4% to 77.8%; P < .001 for trend) and decreased over time among D-PrEP users (from 75.1% to 72.1%; P = .02 for trend). Daily PrEP users reported fewer adverse events than ED-PrEP users (193 of 520 [37.1%] vs 241 of 503 [47.9%]).Conclusions and relevanceThe findings of this study suggest that D-PrEP and ED-PrEP regimens are associated with lower incidence of HIV and a good safety profile among high-risk MSM in China.Trial registrationChinese Clinical Trial Registry number: ChiCTR-IIN-17013762.

Project description:A recent randomized, controlled trial showed that daily oral preexposure chemoprophylaxis (PrEP) was effective for HIV prevention in men who have sex with men (MSM). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recently provided interim guidance for PrEP in MSM at high risk for HIV. Previous studies did not reach a consistent estimate of its cost-effectiveness.To estimate the effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of PrEP in MSM in the United States.Dynamic model of HIV transmission and progression combined with a detailed economic analysis.Published literature.MSM aged 13 to 64 years in the United States.Lifetime.Societal.PrEP was evaluated in both the general MSM population and in high-risk MSM and was assumed to reduce infection risk by 44% on the basis of clinical trial results.New HIV infections, discounted quality-adjusted life-years (QALYs) and costs, and incremental cost-effectiveness ratios.Initiating PrEP in 20% of MSM in the United States would reduce new HIV infections by an estimated 13% and result in a gain of 550,166 QALYs over 20 years at a cost of $172,091 per QALY gained. Initiating PrEP in a larger proportion of MSM would prevent more infections but at an increasing cost per QALY gained (up to $216,480 if all MSM receive PrEP). Preexposure chemoprophylaxis in only high-risk MSM can improve cost-effectiveness. For MSM with an average of 5 partners per year, PrEP costs approximately $50,000 per QALY gained. Providing PrEP to all high-risk MSM for 20 years would cost $75 billion more in health care-related costs than the status quo and $600,000 per HIV infection prevented, compared with incremental costs of $95 billion and $2 million per infection prevented for 20% coverage of all MSM.PrEP in the general MSM population would cost less than $100,000 per QALY gained if the daily cost of antiretroviral drugs for PrEP was less than $15 or if PrEP efficacy was greater than 75%.When examining PrEP in high-risk MSM, the investigators did not model a mix of low- and high-risk MSM because of lack of data on mixing patterns.PrEP in the general MSM population could prevent a substantial number of HIV infections, but it is expensive. Use in high-risk MSM compares favorably with other interventions that are considered cost-effective but could result in annual PrEP expenditures of more than $4 billion.National Institute on Drug Abuse, Department of Veterans Affairs, and National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.
