Pre-exposure prophylaxis, a new approach for HIV prevention: experience from the HIV Center of the Military University Hospital Prague

Original language description

Aims: To present our experience with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) at the HIV Center of the Military University flospital Prague, to characterize a set of PrEP candidates, to assess the efficiency and safety of PrFP and to measure the incidence of sexually transmitted liseaks (STDs) in tlx studied cohort. Material and methods: In total, 99 PrEP candidates (98 men who have sex with men and one woman) were monitored during an 18 month period. An initial examination included acquiring a history, performing a physical examination, screening for HIV (serology) and other STDs and performing renal function tests. Results: In total. 81 candidates (in the cohort of 99 candidates) received PrEP. During the course of the 18-month period, none of the clients were newly infected with HIV, and no side effects of the provided medication were recorded. A total of 21% of the 99 PrEP candidates were initially tested positive for SIDs, including two clients with HIV. A total of 14% of the 81 PrEP clients contracted an STD during the monitoring period. Conclusions: Experience amassed at the HIV Center of the Military University Hospital Prague over an 18-month period documented the demand for PrEP, assessed PrEP efficacy, indicated good tolerance and suggested that PrEP played a role in the decline in the HIV incidence in the Czech Republic. In addition. several new HIV cases and cases of other asymptomatic STDs were also detected.
