This is a training on the research and development pipeline for new HIV prevention technologies - including PrEP, microbicides, and new male and female condoms. It was conducted by AIDS Foundation of Chicago's Jim Pickett on Thursday, October 9, 2014 in Chicago, Illinois. These slides have been revised and updated from the same training conducted in Bloomington, IL on Sept 29.

39. PREP UTILIZATION

A total of 2,319 unique individuals who started
TVD for PrEP between 01 Jan 2012 and 30 Sep
2013 were included in the analysis.
• 48.8% of PrEP users were women.
• Mean age was 38.2 ± 12.2 years
• Males were significantly older (39.5 ±
12.0) than females (36.8 ± 12.3).
p<0.0001
• 12.3% of individuals were under 25 years old.
• The proportion of males under 25 was
8.0% (95% CI 6.5 – 9.5) significantly lower
than that of women 16.8% (95% CI 14.6 –
19.0). p<0.0001
Overall distribution of TVD for PrEP
prescriptions by prescriber specialty:
• Family Practice (18%)
• Internal Medicine (16%)
• Infectious Diseases (11%)
• Nurse Practitioners (9%)
• Physician Assistants (9%)

GATES FOUNDATION CONDOM CHALLENGE
The common analogy is that wearing a
condom is like taking a shower with a
raincoat on. A redesigned condom that
overcomes inconvenience, fumbling, or
perceived loss of pleasure would be a
powerful weapon in the fight against
poverty.
– Dr. Papa Salif Sow, senior program
officer, Gates Foundation

• Air-Infused Female Condom
• Uses air pressure to insert
• Polyurethane
• Female Pleasure Condom
• Elliptical opening
• Ribbed exterior
• Pleasure focus
• Non-Gender Specific Internal Silicone Condom
• Refining silicone Origami condoms

Patients were more likely to enroll if they:
• Had prior PrEP awareness
• Were at higher risk (2-5 or >5 episodes
of anal sex with HIV+ partner in the last
12 months)
98% (n=136) of those with drug levels at
Week 4 had TFV-DP detected
• Most participants (77%) had TFV-DP
level consistent with taking ≥4
