This is a randomized controlled trial to test a combination behavioral and biomedical interventions to improve the HIV prevention and care cascades in a population of mobile men in a high priority setting (fishermen in Kenya). The intervention strategy is to recruit and train highly socially-connected men to distribute HIV self-tests and provide linkage support to men in their close social networks. The study will determine whether this social network-based approach along with small financial incentives in the form of transport vouchers can increase men's self-testing, linkage to and uptake of ART and PrEP after self-testing, virologic suppression at 6 months (for those initiating ART) and PrEP adherence (for those initiating PrEP) at 6 months. The study includes a longitudinal qualitative and mixed methods (quantitative and qualitative assessments) to identify the pathways of intervention action, and understand how the social network-based approach with support for linkage affects testing and ART and PrEP uptake and retention in men.
Missed opportunity to pre-exposure prophylaxis is a survey study that will be addressed to newly infected with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) persons. The purposes of this study is to understand why despite the fact that pre-exposure prophylaxis exist, these persons have been contaminated with HIV.
Raltegravir (RAL) is a very effective antiretroviral drug with a favorable long term tolerability. RAL offers many advantages such as lack of drug-drug interactions, a good safety profile particularly on lipids, inflammation and bone parameters. Ral can be an very interesting for patient with comorbidities and comedications, intolerance or toxicities with their current ARV treatment. However its current formulation of one tablet of 400mg twice a day coul not suit many patients. A new once-a-day formulation of RAL has been developed, with two tablets of 600 mg QD. Pharmacokinetic study in healthy volunteers has shown that this dosing provides increased RAL exposure compared to the standard formulation of 400 mg given twice a day. The objective of this study is to evaluate the maintain of virologic suppression with raltegravir 600mg 2 tablets qd as part of a triple antiretroviral regimen in virologically controlled patients.
