Background
PrEP trials in Europe and Canada have shown a
high incidence of HIV-infection (up to 9%) in high
risk MSM
PROUD and IPERGAY have demonstrated similar
high effectiveness of PrEP with oral TDF/FTC (86%)
IPERGAY is assessing coitally-dependent PrEP (2
pills before and 2 pills after sex)
Participants in IPERGAY have frequent sex and
used on average 4 pills/week (15 pills/month)
IPERGAY : Sex-Driven iPrEP
2 tablets (TDF/FTC or placebo)
2-24 hours before sex
1 tablet (TDF/FTC or placebo)
24 hours later
1 tablet (TDF/FTC or placebo)
48 hours after first intake

Mean follow-up of 13 months: 16 subjects infected
14 in placebo arm (incidence: 6.6 /100 PY) and 2 in TDF/FTC arm (incidence: 0.9 /100PY)
86% relative reduction in the incidence of HIV-1 (95% CI : 40-98, p=0.0019)
Ipergay PK Sub-Study
12 participants received a single double-dose of oral
TDF/FTC (600/400 mg) and PK sampling was performed
over 24 hours (T0, 0.5, 1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours)
Plasma, PBMC, dried blood spots, saliva and rectal
biopsies were collected for PK analyses and ex vivo HIV-1
challenges
Each participant had rectal biopsies collected at two time
points (including T0) with 2 participants per time point (0.5,
1, 2, 4, 8 and 24 hours)
Rectal biopsies were exposed overnight to CCR5 tropic
HIV-1 and co-cultured with MT4-R5 cells over 11 days to
detect p24 Ag in supernatants

Protection by SC TDF/FTC Given
Before and/or After SHIV Exposure
Garcia-Lerma , Science Trans Med 2010, 14,14ra4
Ex Vivo HIV-1 Infection of
Rectal Biopsies
10 participants had biopsies assessable at both time points
with 4 biopsies per time point and per participant
Before drug intake all participants had at least 1 biopsy
infected (10/10) vs 6/10 after drug intake (p<0.07, Mac
Nemar test for clustered data)
Using a quantitative infectivity score (0: no infection to 6:
infection detected at D4) median difference of mean scores:
1.38 (IQR: 0.25 -1.75), p<0.07, Wilcoxon sign rank test)
Trend towards partial protection of rectal biopsies from HIVinfection after intake of a double-dose of TDF/FTC
Need for additional post-exposure doses
Conclusions
A double-dose of TDF/FTC is associated with rapid and
high concentrations of TVF and FTC in plasma
FTC can achieve rapid and high concentrations in rectal
tissue and saliva
Pre- and Post-exposure doses both appear to be critical for
providing full protection against HIV acquisition
The effectiveness of coitally-dependent PrEP in people with
less frequent sex has yet to be demonstrated
The IPERGAY study is ongoing open-label and will
hopefully provide additional information
