Ipergay Results Significantly fewer new HIV infections with intermittent PrEP versus placebo (2 versus 14 cases)
86% reduction after a mean follow-up of 13 months (P=0.002)
Safety of on-demand PrEP was similar to placebo except for GI adverse events Adherence to PrEP was good, supporting the acceptability of on-demand PrE Pts averaged 16 pills/mo

PrEP starts: HealthMindr Pilot
7/70 PrEP eligible started PrEP “I went through and put in my (screener) responses and it basically said ‘Hey maybe you should check out PrEP as an option and by the way here are some places you could go.’ … I was seen (for PreP) at [provider] within a week … Easy breezy. (Healthmindr) was the piece that crossed the threshold from inaction to actual action. … This (Healthmindr) will saves lives, and I can even say maybe my life.” Pilot participant

PrEP at Home: Reducing Monitoring Burden
CDC Guidance for PrEP calls for repeat HIV testing every three months, repeat STI testing at every 6 months, and ongoing PrEP adherence counseling. 879,000 – 1,696,000 US MSM would be behaviorally eligible for PrEP (100,000 Canadians?) With recommended quarterly visits,
3,518,000 - 6,785,000 patient visits per year would be required for clinic-based HIV, STI and creatinine testing
A home care kit could alleviate the economic burden on patients, providers and the healthcare system Source: Sullivan, 2016

CABOTEGRAVIR: GSK126744 Long Acting II
Favorable attributes for PrEP: • High genetic barrier to resistance • PK profile – half life of 21-50 days -allows once-daily oral or 1-3 month injectable dosing using nanosuspension formulation

Summary
Oral PrEP theoretically can achieve close to 100% effectiveness in men with sufficient adherence Body of work to date has been about efficacy and linkage Ongoing work is focused on
Specific populations
Adherence
Minority and Young MSM Male Sex Workers (ie occupational PrEP) Transgender Women Focus on looking past SMS reminders and leveraging new technologies…
