Brief summary

This study will evaluate how safe and tolerable a combination of taking three-drugs will be for the purpose of preventing HIV transmission after a high-risk sexual contact exposure in HIV uninfected adults.

Detailed description

Participants are given a regimen containing tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) 300mg and emtricitabine (FTC) 200mg fixed-dose combination tablet (TDF/FTC) once daily, and atazanavir, one 300mg tablet and one 100 mg ritonavir given once daily,for 28 days.

Safety of Regimen - SymptomsVisit 3- Day 30Number of subjects who experienced moderate-to-severe symptoms on the symptom-directed physical exam at or before visit 3.
Safety of Regimen - Adverse Events/Serious Adverse Events Considered Relatedvisit 3 - day 30Number of subjects who experience adverse or serious adverse events that are considered related to the use of the drug regimen at or before visit 3.
Safety of Regimen - Unsafe Biological Testvisit 3 - day 30Number of subjects who have an unsafe biological test result as part of the laboratory screen for safety levels (e.g., CBC, Creatinine, etc.) at or before visit 3.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Awareness of NPEPVisit 2- Day 14Assess awareness as measured by how many participants had initially heard of NPEP prior to the incident exposure
Adherence - Degree of AdherenceVisit 1- Day 28Number of participants who completed prescribed regimen
Adherence Rate - OverallVisit 3- Day 30Adherence to the regimen will be assessed by whether the regimen was completed as prescribed or not. χ2 tests will be used to assess differences in the proportion of both completion and adherence between participants in the current study and participants in previous studies of NPEP at Fenway Health (historical controls).
