To investigate the uptake, acceptability and usability of a comprehensive HIV infection prevention program for high-risk MSM through 2 different intervention strategies: daily PrEP and on demand PrEP, combined with intensified standard care at the PHSA.
Achtergrond van het onderzoek
Hypothesis: Public Health Service of Amsterdam (PHSA) can inform HIV-negative men who have sex with men (MSM) at high risk for HIV infection about and provide them with daily or intermittent pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), to be taken as part of a comprehensive HIV risk reduction package. MSM can adequately make a choice between the two different intervention strategies and adhere to the chosen strategy. This comprehensive HIV prevention program has a good acceptability, feasibility and usability.
Objective: To investigate the uptake, acceptability and usability of a comprehensive HIV infection prevention program for high-risk MSM through 2 different intervention strategies (i.e. daily or intermittent PrEP) at the PHSA.
Study design: Evaluation study of a demonstration project of 2 different HIV prevention strategies (daily or intermittent PrEP), as part of a comprehensive HIV prevention program.
Study population: Men who have sex with men at increased risk for HIV (i.e. diagnosed with syphilis, urethral or rectal chlamydia or gonorrhoea within the last six months, reporting unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) with casual partners within the last six months, received PEP within last six months or having a HIV positive partner with unknown or detectable viral load in the last six months).
Intervention: Demonstration project with two arms: one group will receive daily PrEP and the second group will be provided with intermittent PrEP (i.e. 2 tablets between 24 and 2 hours before sexual contact followed by one tablet every 24 hours until 48 hours after the last sexual contact). After counselling, participants can choose an intervention. In addition, participants are allowed to switch between arms.
Main study parameters/endpoints: We will investigate uptake, acceptability, and usability of daily and intermittent PrEP, medication adherence, adverse events, behavioural disinhibition (i.e. increase in risk behaviour and in incidence of STIs), HIV infection and resistance.
Timeline: Start inclusion1 August 2015. End of inclusion: 1 November 2017. End of study interventions: 1 June 2018. End of follow-up: 1 December 2018.
