6. Tsepamo: Neural Tube Defects and DTG Exposure
Birth outcomes surveillance study among Botswanan women ± HIV infection
‒ Initial findings in May 2018 found apparent increase in NTD incidence among women
who conceived while receiving DTG[1]
‒ Warnings issued from WHO, EMA, FDA regarding use of DTG at time of conception[2-4]
and some countries halted plans to use DTG-based ART as preferred first-line therapy
Current analysis reports updated birth outcomes as of March 2019[5,6]
‒ From July to September 2018, surveillance area expanded to capture ~ 72% of all births
in Botswana; data abstracted from obstetric cards of all in-hospital deliveries
‒ Government midwives trained to assess congenital abnormalities performed infant
surface exams; abnormalities photographed with maternal consent and reviewed by
external medical geneticist (blinded to drug exposure history)

Tsepamo: NTD Prevalence by ARV Exposure
As of March 2019, rate of NTDs with DTG at
conception lower than initially signaled[1,2]
No significant difference in major external
structural malformations with DTG vs non-DTG
ART[1,2]
WHO released updated recommendations
reconfirming use of DTG-based ART as preferred
first-line and second-line therapy[3]

MSM and TGW in Brazil, Mexico, and Peru
Prospective, open-label demonstration study of same-day PrEP in MSM and TGW
at high risk of HIV infection (≥ 1 risk criteria)
Eligible participants were screened and enrolled on the same day to receive a
30-day supply of TDF/FTC
‒ Study enrolled 5019 MSM (94%) and 335 TGW (6%)
Primary outcomes

PrEP initiation
‒ PrEP adherence: ≥ 16 days of PrEP medication filled per 30-day period (medication
possession ratio ≥ 0.53)

Study population: predominantly black (84%), educated (≥ 90% had high school diploma),
low income (65% earned < $20,000 annually), and ART experienced (86%)
