The Effect of Antiretroviral Therapy on Secondary Transmission of HIV among Men Who Have Sex with Men

Abstract: These results suggest that ART must be accompanied by effective HIV-related risk reduction interventions. Programs that target prevention to decrease further HIV transmission are crucial to epidemic control.

“…HAART has already been shown to reduce the potential for HIV transmission by reducing viral load in HIV-positive individuals and, thus, making such individuals less infectious [6,7]. However, it has been suggested recently by McCormick et al [19] that the potential reduction in transmission associated with receipt of antiretroviral therapy may be offset among long-term survivors by the long duration of infectiousness (and the possible eventual failure of antiretroviral therapy). These authors conclude that antiretroviral therapy must be accompanied by effective HIV-related risk-reduction interventions for the duration of HIV infection.…”

“…Modelling studies have explored the widespread use of ART but mainly in sub-Saharan settings [72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80][81][82][83][84][85][86][87][88][89], in the United States [90;91], in China [92][93][94], Canada [95] and for some specific groups, such as MSM in Australia [36;96;97], in Peru, Ukraine, Kenya and Thailand [98] and in different cities in the United States [99][100][101][102][103]; only a few of them model the HIV epidemic in European countries (MSM in Amsterdam, the Netherlands [104] and in the UK [105][106][107] and people who inject drugs in Russia [108]). They varied in their conclusions, although most have suggested potential appreciable beneficial effects on HIV incidence of introducing ART initiation at a higher CD4 count as a policy at a population level.…”

“…La diffusion des thérapies antirétrovirales dans les pays industrialisés, en diminuant la charge virale dans le sang et dans les sécrétions génitales, s'est probablement accompagnée d'une diminution de la transmission hétérosexuelle au sein de couples sérodifférents : c'est ce que suggère une étude espagnole, qui a permis d'observer une diminution de l'ordre de 80 % du risque de transmission depuis 1999, par rapport à la période 1991-1995 [6]. Cependant, la réduction des cas de transmission associée à la prise d'antirétroviraux pourrait être annihilée par la plus longue durée d'infectiosité, particulièrement si les comportements sexuels de prévention des personnes traitées se modifient [7]. En France, les données de la déclaration obligatoire des nouveaux diagnostics d'infection à VIH, disponibles depuis 2003, montrent, chez les sujets de nationalité étrangère, une stabilisation du nombre de nouveaux diagnostics chez les hommes et une diminution chez les femmes.…”

“…Plusieurs précautions doivent cependant être apportées à ces résultats. Ce type de comparaison à la population générale ne peut pas tenir compte de certains facteurs, comme la co-infection à VHC, la consommation de tabac et le niveau socio-économique, dont le poids sur la mortalité est élevé 7 . Or les fréquences du tabagisme et de la coinfection à VHC ont été plus élevées chez les sujets infectés par le VIH qu'en population générale, même si elles sont actuellement en diminution.…”
