• Join using computer audio
and a plug-in headset or
computer speakers
2
Who Should Be Taking PrEP?
3
Learning Objectives
At the end of the training, participants will be able to
• State the indications for PrEP
• State the eligibility for PrEP
• Name the 5 main eligibility criteria for PrEP
• Explain how to exclude Acute HIV Infection
4
OUTLINE
• WHO Recommendations
• Screening for PrEP (indications)
• Eligibility
• Substantial Risk
• Acute HIV Infection
• Kidney function Assessment
5
WHO Recommendation
• Oral PrEP containing TDF should be offered as an additional
prevention choice for people at substantial risk of HIV
infection as part of combination HIV prevention approaches.1
6
Indications for PrEP Screening
Based on a history over the past 3 months
• HIV negative AND Sexual partner with HIV who
is not virally suppressed (sero-discordancy with
high viral load)
• Sexually active in a high HIV incidence/
prevalence population AND any of the following:
• Vaginal or anal intercourse without condoms with
more than on person OR
• A sexual partner with one or more HIV risk factors
OR a history of STIs by lab testing/syndromic or self
report or use of PEP(repeated) or requesting PrEP
(negative sero-concordancy with behavioral/biomedical
markers)
7
Illustrative Questions for
Assessing Markers
“In the past three months,:
• “Have you had sex with more than one sexual
partner?”
• “Have you had sex without a condom?”
• “Have you had sex with people whose HIV status you
do not know?”
• “Are any of your partners at risk of HIV?”
• “Have you had sex with a person who has HIV?”
• “Have you had symptoms of or been treated for
STIs?”
• ”Have you used PEP more than once?”
• “Have you used or requested to be placed on PrEP?”
8
Illustrative Questions for
Assessing Markers
• “Are there aspects of your situation that may indicate
higher risk for HIV? Have you…:
• “Received money, housing, food or gifts in exchange
for sex?”
• “Been forced to have sex against your will?”
• “Been physically assaulted, including assault by a sex
partner?”
• “Taken PEP to prevent HIV infection?”
• “Had a sexually transmitted infection (STI)?”
• “Injected drugs or hormones using shared
equipment?”
• “Used recreational/psychoactive drugs?”
• “Moved to a new place?”
• “Lost your job?”
9
Illustrative Questions for An
HIV Positive Partner
•“Is your partner taking ART for HIV?”
•“Has your partner been on ART for more than six
months?”
•“Do you discuss your partner’s adherence to HIV
treatment every month?”
•“Do you know your partner’s last viral load? What
was the result? And when was it done?
•“Do you desire having a child with your partner?”
•“Are you and your partner consistently using
condoms?”
10
ELIGIBILITY FOR PrEP
Substantial Risk Willingness to
use PrEP
HIV Sero-negative
No Suspicion of
Acute HIV Infection Kidney Function
• Not been exposed to
HIV in the last 72 hours
• No allergies to PrEP
medications
11
Client who is sexually active in a high HIV prevalence population (either in the
general population or key population group) PLUS reports ANY of the following in
the past three months:
 Vaginal or anal intercourse without condoms with more than one partner, OR
 Sex partner with one or more HIV risk, OR
 History of an STI (based on lab test, syndromic STI treatment, self-report), OR
 History of use of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP)
Client who reports history of sharing of injection material/equipment with another
person in
the past three months.
Client who reports having a sexual partner in the past three months* who is HIV
positive AND who has not been on effective HIV treatment.
*On ART for less than six months, or has inconsistent or unknown adherence
Substantial Risk
12
Substantial Risk
• Screening questions should be framed in terms of
people’s behavior rather than their sexual identity
and should refer to a defined time period (three
months, etc.).
• It is important for PrEP providers to be sensitive,
inclusive, non-judgmental, and supportive.
• Be careful not to develop a screening process that
might discourage PrEP use.
13
• PrEP is a prevention intervention for
people who are HIV uninfected.
• All persons at substantial risk for HIV
and who may be eligible for PrEP should
be offered HIV testing prior to PrEP
initiation
• HIV testing must be done using national
guidelines and algorithms.
• Ideally use rapid HIV tests at point of care.
• Promptly link clients who test HIV positive
to HIV treatment and care services.
HIV Sero-negative
14
HIV Sero-negative
15
• Acute HIV infection (AHI) is the early phase
of HIV disease that is characterized by an
initial burst of viremia.
• AHI infection develops within two to four
weeks after someone is infected with HIV.
• Approximately 40% to 90% of patients with
AHI will experience “flu-like” symptoms.
– These symptoms are not specific to HIV, they
occur in many other viral infections.
– Remember that some patients with AHI can be
asymptomatic.
• The figure on the next slide depicts some of
the presenting signs and symptoms of AHI.
• Do NOT start PrEP in clients with suspected
AHI.
No Suspicion of
Acute HIV Infection

No Suspicion of
Acute HIV Infection
• Why must you diagnose for
acute HIV infection?
18
Kidney Function
• TDF can be associated with a small decrease in estimated
creatinine clearance (eGFR) early during PrEP use and
usually this does not progress.
• PrEP is not indicated if eGFR* is < 60ml/min.
• Serum creatinine before initiation and 6-monthly, and less
frequently after first year or more frequently with co-
morbidity. (WHO, 2017)
• Dipstick urine (FMOH)
*eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate using Cockroft-Gault equation:
Estimated CrCl = [140-age (years)] x weight (kg) x f where f=1.23 for men and 1.04 for women
Serum creatinine (μmol/L)
19
PrEP, Viral Suppression, and the
Uninfected Partner
PrEP can protect the HIV uninfected partner in a
heterosexual serodiscordant relationship with an
HIV-infected partner if:
– The partner with HIV has been taking ART for less than six months.
– ART takes three to six months to suppress viral load.
– In studies of serodiscordant couples, PrEP has provided a
useful bridge to full viral suppression during this time.
– The uninfected partner is not confident of the HIV-infected
partner’s adherence to treatment or has other sexual partners
besides the partner on treatment.
– The uninfected partner is aware of gaps in the HIV- infected
partner’s treatment adherence or the couple is not communicating
openly about treatment adherence and viral load test results.

  • 2. Housekeeping: How to Connect to Audio by Computer • Join using computer audio and a plug-in headset or computer speakers 2
  • 3. Who Should Be Taking PrEP? 3
  • 4. Learning Objectives At the end of the training, participants will be able to • State the indications for PrEP • State the eligibility for PrEP • Name the 5 main eligibility criteria for PrEP • Explain how to exclude Acute HIV Infection 4
  • 5. OUTLINE • WHO Recommendations • Screening for PrEP (indications) • Eligibility • Substantial Risk • Acute HIV Infection • Kidney function Assessment 5
  • 6. WHO Recommendation • Oral PrEP containing TDF should be offered as an additional prevention choice for people at substantial risk of HIV infection as part of combination HIV prevention approaches.1 6
  • 7. Indications for PrEP Screening Based on a history over the past 3 months • HIV negative AND Sexual partner with HIV who is not virally suppressed (sero-discordancy with high viral load) • Sexually active in a high HIV incidence/ prevalence population AND any of the following: • Vaginal or anal intercourse without condoms with more than on person OR • A sexual partner with one or more HIV risk factors OR a history of STIs by lab testing/syndromic or self report or use of PEP(repeated) or requesting PrEP (negative sero-concordancy with behavioral/biomedical markers) 7
  • 8. Illustrative Questions for Assessing Markers “In the past three months,: • “Have you had sex with more than one sexual partner?” • “Have you had sex without a condom?” • “Have you had sex with people whose HIV status you do not know?” • “Are any of your partners at risk of HIV?” • “Have you had sex with a person who has HIV?” • “Have you had symptoms of or been treated for STIs?” • ”Have you used PEP more than once?” • “Have you used or requested to be placed on PrEP?” 8
  • 9. Illustrative Questions for Assessing Markers • “Are there aspects of your situation that may indicate higher risk for HIV? Have you…: • “Received money, housing, food or gifts in exchange for sex?” • “Been forced to have sex against your will?” • “Been physically assaulted, including assault by a sex partner?” • “Taken PEP to prevent HIV infection?” • “Had a sexually transmitted infection (STI)?” • “Injected drugs or hormones using shared equipment?” • “Used recreational/psychoactive drugs?” • “Moved to a new place?” • “Lost your job?” 9
  • 10. Illustrative Questions for An HIV Positive Partner •“Is your partner taking ART for HIV?” •“Has your partner been on ART for more than six months?” •“Do you discuss your partner’s adherence to HIV treatment every month?” •“Do you know your partner’s last viral load? What was the result? And when was it done? •“Do you desire having a child with your partner?” •“Are you and your partner consistently using condoms?” 10
  • 11. ELIGIBILITY FOR PrEP Substantial Risk Willingness to use PrEP HIV Sero-negative No Suspicion of Acute HIV Infection Kidney Function • Not been exposed to HIV in the last 72 hours • No allergies to PrEP medications 11
  • 12. Client who is sexually active in a high HIV prevalence population (either in the general population or key population group) PLUS reports ANY of the following in the past three months:  Vaginal or anal intercourse without condoms with more than one partner, OR  Sex partner with one or more HIV risk, OR  History of an STI (based on lab test, syndromic STI treatment, self-report), OR  History of use of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) Client who reports history of sharing of injection material/equipment with another person in the past three months. Client who reports having a sexual partner in the past three months* who is HIV positive AND who has not been on effective HIV treatment. *On ART for less than six months, or has inconsistent or unknown adherence Substantial Risk 12
  • 13. Substantial Risk • Screening questions should be framed in terms of people’s behavior rather than their sexual identity and should refer to a defined time period (three months, etc.). • It is important for PrEP providers to be sensitive, inclusive, non-judgmental, and supportive. • Be careful not to develop a screening process that might discourage PrEP use. 13
  • 14. • PrEP is a prevention intervention for people who are HIV uninfected. • All persons at substantial risk for HIV and who may be eligible for PrEP should be offered HIV testing prior to PrEP initiation • HIV testing must be done using national guidelines and algorithms. • Ideally use rapid HIV tests at point of care. • Promptly link clients who test HIV positive to HIV treatment and care services. HIV Sero-negative 14
  • 16. • Acute HIV infection (AHI) is the early phase of HIV disease that is characterized by an initial burst of viremia. • AHI infection develops within two to four weeks after someone is infected with HIV. • Approximately 40% to 90% of patients with AHI will experience “flu-like” symptoms. – These symptoms are not specific to HIV, they occur in many other viral infections. – Remember that some patients with AHI can be asymptomatic. • The figure on the next slide depicts some of the presenting signs and symptoms of AHI. • Do NOT start PrEP in clients with suspected AHI. No Suspicion of Acute HIV Infection 16
  • 17. No Suspicion of Acute HIV Infection 17
  • 18. No Suspicion of Acute HIV Infection • Why must you diagnose for acute HIV infection? 18
  • 19. Kidney Function • TDF can be associated with a small decrease in estimated creatinine clearance (eGFR) early during PrEP use and usually this does not progress. • PrEP is not indicated if eGFR* is < 60ml/min. • Serum creatinine before initiation and 6-monthly, and less frequently after first year or more frequently with co- morbidity. (WHO, 2017) • Dipstick urine (FMOH) *eGFR: estimated glomerular filtration rate using Cockroft-Gault equation: Estimated CrCl = [140-age (years)] x weight (kg) x f where f=1.23 for men and 1.04 for women Serum creatinine (μmol/L) 19
  • 20. PrEP, Viral Suppression, and the Uninfected Partner PrEP can protect the HIV uninfected partner in a heterosexual serodiscordant relationship with an HIV-infected partner if: – The partner with HIV has been taking ART for less than six months. – ART takes three to six months to suppress viral load. – In studies of serodiscordant couples, PrEP has provided a useful bridge to full viral suppression during this time. – The uninfected partner is not confident of the HIV-infected partner’s adherence to treatment or has other sexual partners besides the partner on treatment. – The uninfected partner is aware of gaps in the HIV- infected partner’s treatment adherence or the couple is not communicating openly about treatment adherence and viral load test results. 20
