1731Medicalizing Prevention: Divergent Views of HIV+ and HIV- Women on PrEP and TasP
Background. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Treatment as Prevention (TasP) are biomedical HIV prevention strategies that could have a significant impact on reducing HIV infection rates among U.S. women. This qualitative study examined HIV+ and HIVwomen’s views of these prevention modalities. Methods. Five focus groups, stratified by HIV status were conducted in 2014 with 26 women (11 HIVand...
متن کاملTreatment as prevention (TasP) for HIV
When adhered to consistently, ART can reduce the HIV viral load in an individual’s blood, semen, vaginal fluid and rectal fluid to such a low level that blood tests can’t detect it.1 This is described as an 'undetectable' viral load or viral suppression. In these circumstances, as long as someone’s viral load remains undetectable, their health will not be affected by HIV and they cannot transmi...
متن کاملOral PrEP for HIV prevention. It works
There is an ongoing need for effective methods for prevention of HIV infection. A wide range of tools is needed, in varying social and economic contexts, and against different modes of transmission. Recent advances have concentrated on biomedical approaches to prevention, including the use of antiretroviral therapy (ART) prior to possible exposure to HIV: pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
متن کاملThe Role of ARVs in HIV Prevention: Microbicides and PrEP
Introduction The evolving list of HIV prevention interventions that currently rely on antiretrovirals (ARVs) include prevention of mother-to-child transmission (PMTCT), Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP), and highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) as prevention.1 Current research is underway to expand this list of interventions to include ARV-based microbicides, and Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis ...
متن کاملModeling and optimal control of HIV/AIDS prevention through PrEP
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) consists in the use of an antiretroviral medication to prevent the acquisition of HIV infection by uninfected individuals and has recently demonstrated to be highly efficacious for HIV prevention. We propose a new epidemiological model for HIV/AIDS transmission including PrEP. Existence, uniqueness and global stability of the disease free and endemic equilibriums...
