PrEP at CROI, Uptake - MSM, IDUs, Meth Use
 
 
  CROI: Implementation of PrEP in STD Clinics and a Community Health Center: High Uptake and Drug Levels among MSM in the Demo Project - (03/28/14)......based on blood levels of the drug 27% of participants were taking 2 doses a week in Miami vs 4% in SF. But only 52% were taking daily dosing in SF, 40% 4 doses a week in SF, while in Miami 13% were taking daily dosing & 43% 4 doses a week.
 
CROI: Willingness to Use Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among Community-Recruited Injection Drug Users - (03/28/14)
 
CROI: Early Adopters: Socio-demographic and Behavioral Correlates of Chemoprophylaxis Use in a Recent National Online Sample of Men who have Sex with Men in the U.S. - (03/28/14).....Although MSM in this online survey reported significant HIV risks, their experience with PEP and PrEP was limited. In order to increase PrEP uptake among MSM, PCPs need to be educated to provide culturally competent care, so that patients will be comfortable discussing HIV risks that could be decreased by PEP or PrEP.
 
CROI: PrEP Interest, Uptake and Adherence among Young Men Who Have Sex with Men (YMSM) in the United States - (03/28/14)
 
CROI: Contingency Management Facilitates PEP Completion among Stimulant-Using MSM - (Meth users) (03/28/14)
 
HIV Prevention at CROI 2014 (Review of PrEP New Agents, For Prevention in this overall report on Prevention)- Jared Baeten, MD PhD Connie Celum, MD MPH University of Washington - (03/12/14)

One of the big stories in HIV & at CROI this year is this long acting integrate therapy GSK744, which is being studied as a PrEP to prevent HIV transmission & as a treatment for HIV. Here are the 2 studies presented today for GSK744 treatment & PrEP in monkeys, and in the PrEP report there is a link to 2 studies presented today regarding PrEP and the data was reported in Science Magazine today so the publication text is in the link too.

PrEP for MSM.....CROI: Long-Acting Integrase Inhibitor GSK744 for PrEP (Once Monthly or maybe longer) - (03/05/14)......."GSK744 LA has afforded high---level protection against repeated intrarectal SHIV challenges in rhesus macaques......plasma concentrations >3X PAIC90 result in 100% protection.....plasma levels corresponding to protection can be readily achieved in man with quarterly 800mg intramuscular injections.......These data support moving GSK744 LA into clinical evaluation as PrEP in high-risk men who have sex with men - Phase 2 safety and tolerability studies commence in Spring 2014
