pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis
Indications:
- multiple sexual partners in a population with annual HIV incidence >= 2% [14]
- sexually active men who have sex with men not in a monogamous relationship
- seronegative patients whose HIV-infected partners have not achieved viral suppression [14]
- injection drug users who share needles [5,6]
- not cost-effective for injection drug users in general [13]
- heterosexually active adults who rarely use condoms during sex with high-risk partners of unknown HIV status [6]
- postexposure prophylaxis more than twice in the past year [8]
Contraindications:
- breast-feeding [4]
Benefit/risk:
- NNT = 13 for daily tenofovir-emtricitabine to prevent 1 HIV1 infection in men who have sex with men [10]
- no serious treatment-related adverse events observed [10]
- pre-exposure prophylaxis among men who have sex with men in New South Wales Australia reduced new HIV infections [18]
Laboratory:
- HIV test prior to beginning pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis & every 3 months [4,6]
- those who acquire HIV1 should discontinue pre-exposure prophylaxis & begin treatment of HIV1
- HIV-1 RNA [27]
- pregnancy test for women at each follow-up visit
- screen for other STDs
Complications:
- pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis (PrEP) appears to be associated with increased risk sexually transmitted infections chlamydia, gonorrhea, & syphilis
Management:
- chemoprophylaxis
- tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC, Truvada, Descovy)
- cost effectiveness of emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (FTC/TDF) vs emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide (FTC/TAF) discussed [24]
- emtricitabine/tenofovir alafenamide for women & injection drug users unknown [12]
- has not been studied in women who practice receptive vaginal sex
- use emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate
- once daily
- may be 75% effective [1,2]
- no more thn a 90 day supply [4]
- may not be effective for women [1,2]
- cabotegravir IM every 8 weeks
- on demand schedule
- 2 pills 2-24 hours before sex, 1 pill 24 hours after 1st dose, & a 4th pill 24 hours later [11]
- requires knowing in advance when sex will occur
- circumcision (voluntary) [8]
- sexually active heterosexual males,particularly in areas with high prevalence of HIV
- with men who have sex with men
* general HIV precautions
- safe sex & use of condoms
Notes:
- reduces risk of HSV2 infection & HIV1 infection in serodiscordant couples [7]
- daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis with tenofovir, tenofovir/emticitabine &/or pericoital vaginal tenofovir gel ineffective in African women due to low compliance [9]
- pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis associated with less condom use [16]
- patients who acquire HIV1 infection during pre-exposure prophylaxis do not show resistance to tenofovir/emticitabine [17]
- minorities underserved with pre-exposure HIV prophylaxis [19]
- California allows pharmacists to dispense HIV prevention meds without prescription [22]
