HIV post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) Flashcards
What are the 3 broad categories through which HIV exposure may occur?
1) Occupational exposure
2) Community non-occupational exposure
3) Sexual exposure
How long does it take for HIV to start to replicate once it has crossed the mucosal barrier?
Up to FORTY EIGHT (48) hours
When is HIV first detected in the blood?
FIVE (5) days
Within what time frame has PEP been shown to reduce dissemination and replication of HIV virus?
start within SEVENTY TWO (72) hours
UK surveillance data of occupational exposure to HIV - summarise
Since 2004 all occupational exposures started on PEP have no new cases HIV
Brazil study that support PEPSE use - summarise
MSM in Brazil
Overall HIV incidence similar to expected
PEP group less seroconversion than non-PEP group
What were the percentages for seroconversion for the PEP group vs non PEP group in the PEP Brazil study?
1.4% vs 7.5%
PEP vs nonpep
Describe the EXPLORE study for PEPSE?
MSM in USA
behavioural intervention trial
No difference HIV seroconversion between PEP vs nonPEP group
What data is there to support PEP in exposure through PWID?
LIMITED data
What are the 4 reasons for PEPSE failing?
1) DELAYED ART start
2) POOR or non- adherence
3) Further HIGH-RISK SEX after PEP stops
4) Early PRIMARY HIV INFECTION already established
For PEPSE, what was the adherence to single tablet regimen vs twice daily?
71% TDF/FTC/EVG/r vs
57% RAL based (BD) or
39% PI based (BD)
When was the last recorded occupational HIV transmission?
1999
What 3 factors contribute to the risk of HIV transmission through sexual exposure?
1) TYPE of sex
2) HIV viral load of INDEX partner
3) SUSCEPTIBILITY of recipient if partner not virologically suppressed ie concomitant STI/GENITAL ULCER DISEASE
