Women and ARV‐based HIV prevention – challenges and opportunities

Abstract: ARV-based HIV prevention methods available in pill, gel or ring formulations (broadly referred to as microbicides) offer the possibility of protection against HIV for women who find it difficult because they cannot ask their partners to use condoms or even refuse sex. Partial efficacy of ARV-based medications has been demonstrated in a number of clinical trials around the world among various populations, building the evidence that ARV-based technologies will contribute to reducing the AIDS epidemic worldwide. … Show more

“…Risk of colorectal HIV transmission is 10 – 20 fold higher than vaginal transmission, and enema use is widespread for cleansing the bowel prior to receptive anal intercourse (RAI) [1, 21, 34-39]. In addition to an increased risk of viral transmission with RAI, adherence to prescribed drug regimens has been a significant issue in most HIV PrEP clinical trials [40, 41]. Using a microbicide-loaded enema would require minimal behavioral modification, leading to improved adherence, which may significantly improve PrEP outcomes.…”

“…ring, film, and injectable products) that ease the burden of daily adherence and can effectively deliver PrEP drugs to target tissue in any vaginal microbiome environment (43,44). An additional priority is to continue developing innovative implementation strategies to improve daily oral PrEP adherence among women and frame PrEP as a tool to support women’s lives (4,45). Oral PrEP remains a critical biomedical HIV prevention strategy for women with symptomatic or asymptomatic bacterial vaginosis, who are protected from HIV acquisition when adherence to the daily pills is high, and there remains a need to improve oral PrEP access for women regardless of their bacterial vaginosis status (31 ■■ ).…”

“…Demonstration projects to explore PrEP implementation in those populations are a priority. Medication adherence in younger women has also been recognized as a significant challenge [39,40]. Risk assessment tools have been designed for men who have sex with men (MSM) and people who inject drugs (PWID) but have not been critically evaluated yet in terms of their usefulness in PrEP implementation.…”
