1 UPDATE IN HIV POST-EXPOSURE PROPHYLAXIS Weerawat Manosuthi

2 Outline Case scenario of postexposure prophylaxis Risks of and how to manage postexposure prophylaxis Current PEP guideline US PHS 2013 New York guideline 2012 Thai guideline 2010 WHO 2007 CDC 2005

3 Case presentation 1 Male paramedic splashed with large volume of bloody amniotic fluid onto open ulcers on his arm. He has DM II, HT, DLP, GERD, CKD, peripheral neuropathy. Source is HIV+ without any treatment during this pregnancy. Paramedic started on AZT, 3TC, and lopinavir/rtv. Two days later, he complains of overwhelming nausea and vomiting.

4 Case Presentation 2 Nurse stuck with a needle found on the floor of a patient s room. Patient in that room is HIV infected with VL >750,000. He had complex ARV Hx, marked with lots of non-adherence. His current regimen was AZT, 3TC and EFV. Nurse was started on AZT, 3TC, and NVP. Nurse s friend recommended changing to AZT, d4t and Kaletra.

5 Case Presentation 3 Phlebotomist stuck with vacutainer needle while transferring blood. Wearing gloves. Deep stick. Source is HIV+, and Hepatitis C +. Started on AZT, TDF and lopinavir/rtv one month ago when VL >750,000 and CD His doctor thinks adherence is good. Three months before starting new regimen, genotype while on d4t, 3TC, efavirenz had shown M184V and K103N.

6 Who is the most frequently reported occupational acquired HIV infection? 1. Nurses 2. Physicians 3. Lab technicians 4. House keepers

7 Occupational Acquired HIV infection Do A, et al. Infect Control Hosp Epidemiol 2003;24:86-96.

8 45 HCPs who reported accidental injuries in BIDI On exposed person analysis, 7.5% (3 of 40), 2.9% (1 of 34), 0% were positive for HBsAg, Anti-HCV and Anti-HIV, respectively. Seven of 45 (15.5%) events were severe exposures. 24 % (22of 45) of staffs initiated HIV PEP. 16 % initiated within 1 hour after exposure and half of them continued HIV PEP until 4 weeks. 53% (24 of 45) of staffs had previous history of HBV vaccination.

27 Considerations When Using PEP Risk of Transmission PEP Risk of Adverse Effects

28 Initiation of HIV PEP If indicated, start PEP as soon as possible after exposure Regard as an urgent medical concern Hours rather than days Interval after which PEP is no longer likely to be effective in humans is unknown Initiating PEP days or weeks after an exposure might be considered if warranted for increased risk exposure

37 Figure 1. PEP Following Occupational Exposure Two-drug regimen is not recommended. New York Guideline

38 Recommended Regimen for HIV PEP Table 3 Recommended Regimen for HIV PEP Following Occupational Exposure a Tenofovir b 300 mg PO qd + Emtricitabine b,c 200 mg PO qd Plus AZT is no longer recommended. Raltegravir d 400 mg PO bid a When the source is known to be HIV-infected, past and current ART experience, viral load data, and genotypic or phenotypic resistance data (if available) may indicate the use of an alternative PEP regimen. Consult with a clinician experienced in managing PEP. See Tables 4 and 5. b The dosing of tenofovir and emtricitabine/lamivudine should be adjusted in patients with baseline creatinine clearance <50 ml/min (see Appendix A for dosing recommendations). Tenofovir should be used with caution in exposed workers with renal insufficiency or who are taking concomitant nephrotoxic medications. Fixed-dose combinations should not be used in patients who need dose adjustment due to renal failure. c Lamivudine 300 mg PO qd may be substituted for emtricitabine. However, a fixed-dose combination is available when tenofovir is used with emtricitabine (Truvada 1 PO qd). d The dosing of raltegravir should be adjusted when co-administered with rifampin (see Appendix A for dosing recommendations).

39 Preferred Alternative PEP Regimens New York Guideline

40 Antiretroviral Drugs to Avoid Drugs to avoid Efavirenz Nevirapine Abacavir Stavudine and Didanosine Nelfinavir and Indinavir CCR5 co-receptor antagonists Reasons - CNS side effects are common - Complicating the need to provide a first dose at any time of the day - Should be avoided in pregnant women - Substantial efavirenz resistance - Severe hepatotoxicity - Hypersensitivity reactions - Possibility of toxicities -Poorly tolerated - Lack of activity against potential CXCR4 tropic virus New York Guideline

53 Thai Guideline 2014

54 Case presentation 1 Male paramedic splashed with large volume of bloody amniotic fluid onto open ulcers on his arms. He has DM II, HT, DLP, GERD, CKD, peripheral neuropathy. Source is HIV+ without any treatment during this pregnancy. Paramedic started on AZT, 3TC, and lopinavir/rtv. Two days later he complains of overwhelming nausea and vomiting.

55 Management Assess injury: Large volume exposure to skin with compromised integrity. Assess source: Known HIV+, likely high viral load, but virus also likely wild-type. Recommend management: Manage symptoms using anti-emetics and consider pro-motility agent for diabetic gastroparesis. Consider other regimens: AZT/3TC/RTV/PI, AZT/3TC/EFV. Consider drug interactions.

56 Case Presentation 2 Nurse stuck with a needle found on the floor of a patient s room. Patient in that room is HIV infected with VL >750,000. He had complex ARV Hx, marked with lots of non-adherence. His current regimen was AZT, 3TC and EFV. Nurse was started on AZT, 3TC, and NVP. Nurse s friend recommended changing to AZT, d4t and Kaletra.

57 Management Assess injury: No characteristics of the needle available. Stick not deep. Assess source: Unknown source. Consider how likely it is that needle came from HIV+ source. Recommend management: If it is likely that this needle was used on an HIV+ patient recently, a full course of PEP is recommended, with choice of drugs taking into account possible resistance. Kaletra may maintain activity against resistant virus, but AZT and d4t not recommended in combination because of clinical and in vitro antagonism.

58 Case Presentation 3 Phlebotomist stuck with vacutainer needle while transferring blood. Wearing gloves. Deep stick. Source is HIV+, and Hepatitis C +. Started on AZT, TDF and lopinavir/rtv one month ago when VL >750,000 and CD4 73. His doctor thinks adherence is good. Three months before starting new regimen, genotype while on d4t, 3TC, efavirenz had shown M184V and K103N.

59 Management Recommend management: Recommend regimen for HIV PEP. 3TC likely ineffective. Protease inhibitor resistance unlikely to have developed during one month of therapy. Consider AZT, TDF, lopinavir/rtv (same as source regimen), as option most likely to combine effectiveness with tolerability. Follow closely for Hepatitis C seroconversion.
