HIV PRE-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS (PREP) YUMA HEALTH DISTRICT 5/23/16 ALYSSA GUIDO, MPH PROGRAM DIRECTOR, ARIZONA AETC ARIZONA AIDS EDUCATION AND TRAINING CENTER This project is supported by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under grant # U1OHA29292-0101, Regional AIDS Education and Training Centers, PAETC award: $3,018,761. This information or content and conclusions are those of the author and should not be construed as the official position or policy of, nor should any endorsements be inferred by HRSA, HHS or the U.S. Government.” HIV/AIDS IN THE US AND WORLDWIDE Approximately 1.2 million people are living with HIV/AIDS in the United States An estimated ~13 % of those people are undiagnosed Since the start of the epidemic, 636,000 people have died of AIDS An estimated 50,000 new HIV infections occur in the US every year More than 35 million people are living with HIV/AIDS worldwide In 2012, an estimated 2.3 million people were newly infected with HIV CDC-Division of HIV/AIDS Prevention Estimating Lifetime Risk of HIV Diagnosis Estimated lifetime risk of an HIV diagnosis among MSM Black/African American 1:2 Hispanic/ Latino 1:6 White 1:11 Lifetime risk of an HIV diagnosis among people with injection drug use Male 1:36; Female 1:23 African American male 1:9; African American female 1:6 MSM 79 times the risk of heterosexuals PWID 13 times the risk of heterosexuals CROI 2016 OA 52; Estimating the Lifetime Risk of a Diagnosis of HIV Infection in the United States Kristen Hess; Xiaohong Hu; Amy Lansky; Jonathan Mermin; H. Irene Hall; CDC, Atlanta, GA, USA CONTINUED NEED FOR HIV RISK AND PREVENTION/DISPARITIES AMONG POPULATIONS Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) make up 64% of all HIV- infected people in the United States The rate of new diagnoses for MSM is more than 44 times that of other men and more than 40 times that of women African Americans are 8 times more likely to be living with HIV than whites Hispanic /Latinos are 3 times more likely to be living with HIV than whites HIV PREVENTION Safer-sex counseling: understanding risk Condoms and lubricant Sterile syringes and avoiding sharing “works” HIV testing STI testing and treatment PEP (post-exposure prophylaxis) PrEP (pre-exposure prophylaxis) What is PrEP? Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis is a treatment regimen which protects the body and helps prevent HIV infection What is PrEP? PrEP is not PEP PrEP is not vaccine PrEP is not a substitute for condoms Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) HIV- HIV+ HIV Infection Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) “Prophylaxis” – action taken to prevent disease, especially by specified means or against a specified disease. HIV- HIV- Effectiveness “Will PrEP make me immune to HIV?” “Is PrEP better than condoms?” PrEP Reduces risk of HIV infection by up to 92% PrEP Does not reduce the risk of other STIs Condoms are still the most effective method of prevention. 1 Effectiveness among individuals with detectable drug levels from the iPrEx study. How do I take PrEP? “How often do I take PrEP?” “Can I skip doses?” “Is it like a vaccine?” PrEP must be taken daily PrEP only reaches effectiveness after 20 days Why do I need lab work before starting PrEP? “What will I be tested for?” Labs will include: HIV testing (preferably 4th generation), STI testing, Hepatitis panel, kidney function and pregnancy for women It is possible to develop drug resistance if an HIV-infected person starts using PrEP. Is PrEP safe? “What are the side effects?” Clinical trials have shown side effects to mild, like headache and nausea Can cause mild loss of bone mineral density (does not appear to increase risk of fractures). Bone density returns to normal levels when PrEP is stopped. Some persons with kidney disease may not be able to take PrEP I FEEL COMFORTABLE TALKING TO MY PATIENTS/CLIENTS ABOUT PREP… 17%1. Yes, I can talk in detail 70%2. A little bit, jus a few basic facts 13%3. No, not at all I KNOW WHERE TO REFER PATIENTS TO PREP… 41%1. Yes, I know exactly who to refer patients to 45%2. I’m not sure, I’d have to do more research 14%3. I have no idea where to refer patients who want PrEP I THINK PREP SHOULD BE… 4% 1. Not available at all 29% 2. Provided to patients only in select cases 58% 3. Widely available 8% 4. Undecided I FEEL THAT PATIENTS ON PREP WILL… 58% 1. Increase their risk behavior 13% 2. Decrease their risk behavior 21% 3. No change in behavior 8% 4. I don’t know I THINK PREP WILL… 96% 1. Have a significant impact on reducing new HIV infections 4% 2. Small impact on reducing new HIV infections 0% 3. No impact on the epidemic 0% 4. Unsure MY TOP TWO CONCERNS ABOUT PREP ARE… 29% 1. Not enough research on long term effects of PrEP 71% 2. Financial concerns – who is paying for it? 13% 3. STDs will increase due to increase in risk behavior 8% 4. Patients will not be adherent 50% 5. Not enough education for providers 4% 6. Other Understanding PrEP Example: Birth Control Oral Contraceptive (“The Pill”) Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Prevents pregnancy if taken before sex. Does not work as morning-after pill. Prevents HIV infection pre-exposure. Will not work if already exposed. Does not always start working immediately. Does not start working immediately. Must take daily – cannot skip doses. Must take daily – cannot skip doses. Only helps prevent pregnancy, will not prevent STIs (should still use condoms). Only helps prevent HIV – will not prevent other STIs (should still use condoms). Very effective at preventing pregnancy, but not 100% effective. Very effective at preventing HIV infection, but not 100% effective. Should be taken by anyone who is sexually active (at risk for becoming pregnant) Should be taken by anyone who could be exposed to the HIV virus (at risk for HIV) PREP AWARENESS AMONG PATIENTS IN ARIZONA 1 YES 8 8 5 NO 0 N = 45 1 11 5 Coconino Pima 1 3 4 10 Maricopa 1 15 Pinal Yavapai Yuma 2 20 Many 51% 49% 25 No Zip Code NUMBER OF RESPONDENTS THAT HAVE HAD PATIENTS ASK ABOUT PREP.

PREP CLINICAL TRIALS • iPrEx Study – MSM and transgender women in 6 countries, 44% reduction • TDF2 Study - Men and Women in Botswana. 62.2 % reduction in HIV incidence • Partners PrEP Study – Randomized control trial of serodiscordant couples in Kenya and Uganda, 67% reduction in HIV incidence • Bangkok Tenofovir Study – IDU in Thailand, Tenofovir only, 48.9% reduction in HIV incidence • Risk reduction 44% - 92% WHO SHOULD TAKE PREP? June 16, 2012 FDA approved Truvada for prevention for HIV May 14, 2014, the US Public Health Service and the CDC released the first comprehensive guidelines for PrEP. PrEP is indicated in patients who are HIV-negative and have one of the following risk factors: 1. HIV-positive partners 2. MSM with recent unprotected sex or STD 3. Intravenous drug users (IDU) who reported sharing needles or equipment, or have recently starting substance use treatment program (high-risk for relapse). 4. Heterosexual men or women who infrequently use condoms and have sex with high- risk partners NATIONAL ESTIMATE (CDC) MSM Indicated for PrEP IDU Not Indicated for PrEP Indicated for PrEP Not Indicated for PrEP 115,000, 19% 492,000, 25% 1,499,903, 75% HETEROSEXUAL Indicated for PrEP Not Indicated for PrEP 624,000, 0.40% 506,600, 81% 156,000,000, 99.60% 1 in 4 1 in 5 1 in 200 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (2015) Vital Signs: Estimated Percentages and Numbers of Adults with Indications for Preexposure Prophylaxis to Prevent HIV Acquisition — United States, 2015.

Restrictions in the uses of CDC and HRSA/HAB funding to pay for the medication 19 states (many in the South) have not yet adopted Medicaid expansion 1.2 million individuals indicated for PrEP Affordability of insurance remains a barrier, particularly co-payments/co-insurance for HIV medications 3-4% access it Sources: D. Smith et al. Vital Signs Nov. 27, 2015 J. Krellenstein and J. Johnson. TAGline, Spring 2016 31 PREP CYCLE PREP COST ESTIMATING YEARLY OUT OF POCKET COSTS lab copay (4) + medical visit copay (4) + medication copay (12) Other factors: Maximum out of Pocket Once this is met, no more cost for services for the rest of the year = Total Yearly Cost Truvada Patient Assistance Programs Patients who qualify, might not pay anything out of pocket for medication Accessing PrEP – Insured Individuals • Covered by all commercial insurance companies and most Medicaid plans. Some insurance plans require Prior Authorization • GILEAD’s Co-Pay Card Program • Covers up to $3,600 per year, out-of-pocket costs • Insured individuals only • Not used with Medicaid, Medicare of VA • Patient Advocate Foundation • Below 400% FPL • $7,500 max per year, co-pay / deductible costs – may reapply • Patient Access Network Foundation – Funds currently depleted • Below 500% FPL • $7,500 max per year, may reapply • Co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance Accessing PrEP – Uninsured Individuals Gilead Medication Assistance Program • Below 500% FPL • Re-apply as needed • Only covers medication costs – does not medical appointments and lab costs Community health centers have a sliding scale fee and can provide medical care and labs CONCLUSIONS PrEP is recommended as one prevention option for sexually active MSM, heterosexual men and women, IDU at substantial risk of HIV acquisition Adherence is a key factor in PrEP efficacy Before prescribing PrEP, HIV infection must be excluded, and the patient should be assessed for comorbidities that may present health risks The recommended PrEP regimen is fixed-dose TDF/FTC (Truvada) Patients prescribed PrEP need to return for follow-up visits at least every 3 months and be retested for HIV Affordability of PrEP can pose a barrier but there are patient assistance programs that can help with co-pays.

He has no active complaints. He is sexually active with men and had six partners over the past year. He has a history of syphilis diagnosed two-years ago and was treated with IM penicillin. Six months ago, you counseled him on the importance of consistent condom use. He reports that he currently uses condoms ~80% of the time. No recent STD since last visit. He drinks alcohol occasionally and no illicit drug use. WHAT WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR MICHAEL? 1. HIV screening 2. HIV and STD screening 3. HIV, STD screening and discuss importance of persistent condom use 4.
