PrEP and the Role of HIV Self-testing

Recording / Slides HIV self-testing (HIVST) is a safe, accurate, and effective alternative to provider-administered testing that many users prefer for its convenience and confidentiality. At IAS 2023, WHO issued a new recommendation to offer HIVST for PrEP initiation and continuation as an innovative way to increase PrEP access and coverage and further simplify PrEP…

What can modelling tell us about the scale-up of CAB for PrEP?

This factsheet summarises the results of mathematical modelling exercises of Cabotegravir (CAB) for PrEP rollout undertaken by researchers affiliated with the HIV Modelling Consortium. These results can help implementers and policymakers understand what to expect and guide early policy decisions to ensure CAB for PrEP is able to have maximum impact on reducing the HIV…

MOSAIC HIV Drug Resistance Monitoring Program

MOSAIC’s HIV Drug Resistance (HIVDR) Monitoring Program monitors HIVDR in PrEP seroconverters in project-based and national roll-out programs in sub-Saharan Africa. Activities include: Laboratory research to improve HIVDR testing assays and test diverse sample types for HIVDR using sensitive methods. Technical support and policy guidance for HIVDR assessment in seroconverters to PrEP programs. Implementation of…

Correlations between Oral Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Initiations and Policies that Enable the Use of PrEP to Address HIV Globally

This article from PLOS Global Public Health presents the results of an analysis examining whether policies enabling broad PrEP eligibility, HIV self-testing, and lowered age of consent to HIV testing and treatment services are correlated with PrEP uptake.

Long-Acting Injectable Cabotegravir for HIV Prevention: What do we know and need to know about the risks and consequences of cabotegravir resistance?

This article from The Science of Prevention summarizes what is known about cabotegravir (CAB) pharmacokinetics, activity, and emergence of resistance from in vitro, macaque and clinical studies, and evaluates the risk of resistance from CAB for PrEP with on-time injections and after CAB for PrEP discontinuation.

Modelling Impact of Injectable Cabotegravir for PrEP on Drug Resistance

An important consideration in the scale-up of injectable cabotegravir (CAB) for PrEP is the potential for development of Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor (INSTI) resistance. To help stakeholders understand this issue further, Professor Andrew Phillips from University College London shared the results of an exercise modelling the impact of the introduction of CAB for PrEP on…

HIV Testing and Injectable Cabotegravir (CAB for PrEP) Introduction: What are the implications for HIV prevention scale-up and the HIV response?

One challenge which has emerged with the introduction of CAB for PrEP is the risk of Integrase Strand Transfer Inhibitor (INSTI) resistance amongst people who acquire HIV while taking CAB as prescribed. To address emerging evidence around testing algorithms and INSTI resistance in CAB users, AVAC and WHO convened a think tank with program implementers,…
