Importance of Addressing HIV Prevention as Part of Patients’ Sexual Health “Clinicians should initiate a discussion about preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with ANY sexually active adolescent and adult patient so that it may be considered an option for them.” — Updated 2021 CDC PrEP Guidelines1
• PrEP is medication used for HIV prevention; it also includes services (eg, HIV testing, education, linkage) that help prevent HIV1,2 • According to the CDC1,2 – Everyone between the ages of 13 and 64 years should be tested for HIV at least once as part of routine health care – When taken as prescribed, PrEP reduces the risk of acquiring HIV from sex by about 99% 1.

Routine HIV Screening The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends routine HIV screening for all youth 15 years or older, at least once, in health care settings.

Importance of Pediatricians and Addressing HIV Risk • Many patients continue to present to pediatricians well after age 18 years; some well into their twenties1 • Low HIV testing, high STI rates, and low HIV prevention use contribute to high HIV rates2,3 – Despite 37% of high school students reporting being sexually active by the 12th grade, only 13% reported having ever been tested for HIV3 – Adolescents and adults younger than 24 years old account for 50% of all STIs, and rates are increasing4 STI, sexually transmitted infection. 1.

Low PrEP Uptake • In 2021, PrEP uptake was only 20% among all 16- to 24-year-olds who could benefit from it1 • Only 37% of clinicians who treat adolescents are somewhat/very familiar with PrEP2

Having Conversations About Sexual Health • Adolescents may be more willing to discuss sensitive topics if pediatricians1: – Establish confidentiality and privacy – Use screening questionnaires – Increase time spent discussing sexual health
• The American Academy of Pediatrics provides the Bright Futures Adolescence Tools for screening questionnaires about sensitive topics for parents and adolescents1,2

PrEP CLINICAL ELIGIBILITY AND EVIDENCE
PrEP Includes Both Medication AND Services • 3 FDA-approved medications for PrEP: – Oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC; Truvada®; available in generic) – Oral tenofovir alafenamide/emtricitabine (TAF/FTC; Descovy®) – Cabotegravir long-acting injectable (CAB LAI; Apretude™)
• May only be used in persons without HIV • Comprehensive services include1:
• All are indicated to reduce the risk of sexually acquired HIV1: – TAF/FTC (unlike TDF/FTC and CAB) is not indicated in individuals having receptive vaginal sex
• Only oral TDF/FTC has been shown to prevent HIV from IDU2
– Regular HIV screening – Regular STI screening – Safer sex + risk-reduction counseling 1. CDC. www.cdc.gov/hiv/pdf/risk/prep/cdc-hiv-prep-guidelines-2021.pdf. Accessed March 30, 2023; 2. Biello KB, et al. AIDS Care. 2019;31(10):1214-1220.

Data That Led to the Approval of TDF/FTC and TAF/FTC for Oral PrEP in Adolescents • Two Adolescent Medicine Trials Network (ATN) open-label studies demonstrated the acceptability and safety of PrEP among young MSM1: – ATN 113, ages 15 – 17 years2 – ATN 110, ages 18 – 24 years3
• Efficacy and safety data to support the FDA approval of TAF/FTC in adolescents was extrapolated from1: – Data from the DISCOVER trial in adult MSM and TGW – Data from trials of TAF/FTC in adolescents with HIV MSM, men who have sex with men; TGW, transgender women. 1.

PrEP Efficacy Depends on Adherence A systematic review and metaanalysis of oral PrEP effectiveness, safety, adherence, and risk compensation in all populations showed that: • Efficacy is strongly linked to adherence • On average, a 10% decrease in adherence causes a 13% decrease in efficacy

HIV and STI Testing for PrEP Initiation • Any patient requiring HIV/STI screening should be offered 3-site testing1 • 3-site STI screening for chlamydia and GC1 – Swab oropharynx, rectum, and test urine or vagina (depending on anatomy) • Genital testing with a swab is preferred for patients with a vagina, but urine is acceptable • Patients can self-swab all sites • Chlamydia/GC often missed with urine/genital testing only
• Blood tests – HIV-1/2 Ag/Ab blood test (preferred), HIV-1 RNA assay, or a rapid, point-of-care, FDA-approved, fingerstick Ag/Ab blood test2 – Syphilis serology1 RNA, ribonucleic acid. 1. CDC.

Warnings/Precautions: Hypersensitivity reactions have been reported in association with other integrase inhibitors, and hepatotoxicity has been reported in patients receiving oral CAB; discontinue CAB LAI if either of these develop • Depressive disorders have been reported with CAB LAI for PrEP; patients with depressive symptoms should be evaluated promptly

Shared Decision-Making (SDM) in PrEP • SDM is about collaboration – Goal: develop a treatment plan that considers both the patient’s preferences and the clinician’s medical recommendations – Can lead to greater adherence, and improved health outcomes
• SDM can – Reduce stigma by normalizing conversations about HIV prevention – Promote clinicians’ cultural competence and cultural humility – Increase trust in the patient-provider relationship McNulty MC, et al. Cult Health Sex. 2022;24(8):1033-1046.
