Epidemiology of HIV Infection in the Developing World
Summary
- Novel HIV prevention strategies include female microbicides, PrEP, use of ART as prevention, and incentives for prevention of HIV transmission
- Emtricitabine/tenofovir DF PrEP has been shown to reduce the risk of HIV acquisition for MSM,[Grant 2010] heterosexual couples,[Baeten 2012; Thigpen 2012] and IV drug users,[Choopanya 2013] but 2 studies have not reported this benefit in African women[Van Damme 2012; Marrazzo 2015]
- The HPTN 052 trial reported a 96% reduction in HIV transmission in serodiscordant couples in which the HIV-infected partner received immediate vs delayed ART[Cohen 2011]
