Background

  • Principle: give HIV meds to high-risk individuals to prevent seroconversion if exposed
  • Works when adherent, but adherence is often poor

Management

Assessing Eligibility

  • MSM: condomless anal sex within the last 6 months, and any of:
    • Sexually transmitted infection within the last 12 months
    • Recurrent use of HIV PEP at least twice
    • Ongoing sexual relationship with an HIV-positive partner who has a detectable viral load or is not on treatment
      • Stop if partner is undetectable for 6 months
    • HIV incidence risk index for men who have sex with men (HIRI-MSM) ≥11
  • Heterosexual exposure
    • Ongoing condomless sexual relationship with an HIV-positive partner who has a detectable viral load or is not on treatment
      • Stop if partner is undetectable for 6 months
    • Can be considered even if condomless sexual relationship with an HIV-positive partner with low risk
  • People who inject drugs
    • Consider if they share drug paraphernalia with someone who has risk of HIV
    • People who inject drugs may not benefit as much

Baseline Investigations

Treatment

  • Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine 300 mg/200 mg daily for 3 months at a time, without repeats
  • On-demand alternative: tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine 300 mg/200 mg taken 2 to 24 hours before first exposure and continued daily until 48 hours after last exposure
