MEDICALISATION OF PREVENTION Kippax S1 1 National Centre in HIV Social Research, University of NSW, Sydney, NSW, Australia This paper takes up two main issues with reference to the `medicalisation of prevention': the technologising of prevention; and the positioning of prevention within the context of treatment delivery. Both of these relatively recent `moves', I argue, are placing prevention at risk. The first, the technologising move, while central to the fight against HIV and AIDS, has led to a down-playing of the social and behavioural in the transmission of HIV. The second move, the move to roll-out prevention with treatments and the concomitant emphasis on voluntary counseling and testing VCT ; is destabilising prevention efforts especially in the developing world by bypassing and undermining the important role that civil society plays in combating HIV. VCT has moved prevention from the community back into the clinic. HIV is transmitted by sexual and drug injection practices that are heavily imbued with social meanings, with pleasure and with pain. To be successful, prevention efforts must engage with these meanings to avoid them or treat them as irrelevant is to court disaster. Prevention at least in some countries has worked and it will continue to work as long as we address the human and social aspects as well as the biological and technological ones. HAART: WHEN TO START AND WHAT WITH Sax P E1 1 Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA Combination antiretroviral therapy using at least 3 potent agents has led to dramatic reductions in HIV-related morbidity and mortality. However, the clinical benefit of such treatment is proven only in those with advanced HIVrelated immunosuppression; specifically, treatment prolongs life for those with HIV-associated opportunistic infections and or a CD4 cell count 200 cells mm3. Starting therapy during earlier stages of HIV disease, where the short-term prognosis is excellent even without treatment, has no proven benefit; hence the optimal time to start for these individuals remains uncertain, with current guidelines deriving data from recent observational cohort studies. Once the decision is made to start therapy, there are presently 20 available antiretroviral agents from which to choose. The best outcomes in clinical trials have been from regimens that contain either efavirenz or lopinavir r; these should be combined with two nucleoside or nucleotide ; reverse transcriptase inhibitors, of which one should be lamivudine or emtricitabine. Despite the availability of treatment guidelines, antiretroviral therapy must be individualized for each patient, and no single regimen is suitable for all clinical settings. The purpose of this presentation will be to review data on the timing of antiretroviral therapy as well as the selection of individual agents and sustiva.

There have been occasional reports of suicide, delusions, and psychosis-like behavior, but it could not be determined if efavirenz was the cause and vaseretic.
Efavirenz did not impair mating or fertility of male or female rats, and did not affect sperm i.e. sperm count, viability, and motility ; of treated male rats. The reproductive performance of offspring born to female rats given efavirenz was not affected. As a result of the rapid clearance of efavirenz in rats, systemic drug exposures achieved in these studies were equivalent to or below those achieved in humans given therapeutic doses of efavirenz. Pregnancy Efav9renz may cause fetal harm when administered during the first trimester to a pregnant woman. Pregnancy should be avoided in women receiving SUSTIVA. Barrier contraception should always be used in combination with other methods of contraception eg, oral or other hormonal contraceptives ; . Women of childbearing potential should undergo pregnancy testing prior to initiation of SUSTIVA see Reproductive Risk Potential ; . There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in pregnant women. SUSTIVA should be used during pregnancy only if the potential benefit justifies the potential risk to the fetus, such as in pregnant women without other therapeutic options. Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry To monitor fetal outcomes of pregnant women exposed to SUSTIVA, an Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry has been established. Physicians are encouraged to register patients, : apregistry Telephone: 800 ; 258-4263 Fax: 800 ; 800-1052 As of July 2004, the Antiretroviral Pregnancy Registry has received reports of 237 pregnancies exposed to efavirenz-containing regimens, the majority of which were first-trimester exposures 232 pregnancies ; . Birth defects occurred in 5 of 188 live births first-trimester exposure ; and 0 of 13 ; live births second- third-trimester exposure ; . None of these prospectively reported defects were neural tube defects. However, there have been four retrospective reports of findings consistent with neural tube defects, including meningomyelocele. All mothers were exposed to efavirenz containing regimens in the first trimester. A causal relationship of these events to the use of SUSTIVA cannot be established. Malformations have been observed in 3 of fetuses infants from efavirenz-treated cynomolgus monkeys versus 0 of 20 concomitant controls ; in a developmental toxicity study. The pregnant monkeys were dosed throughout pregnancy postcoital days 20-150 ; with efavirenz 60 mg kg daily, a dose which resulted in plasma drug concentrations similar to those in humans given 600 mg day of SUSTIVA. Anencephaly and unilateral anophthalmia were observed in one fetus, microophthalmia was observed in another fetus, and cleft palate was observed in a third fetus. Efavirehz crosses the placenta in cynomolgus monkeys and produces fetal blood concentrations similar to maternal blood concentrations. Efavirens has been shown to cross the placenta in rats and rabbits and produces fetal blood concentrations of efavirenz similar to maternal concentrations. An increase in fetal resorptions was observed in rats at efavirenz doses that produced peak plasma concentrations and AUC values in female rats equivalent to or lower than!

The nnrti-associated neuropsychiatric complications are unlikely to be simply caused by the drug concentration as the cerebrospinal fluid csf ; : plasma nevirapine concentrations are similar to those of efavirenz.

Study No.: COL30573 Title: Substitution of Nevirapine, Efavirenz, or Abacavir for Protease Inhibitors in Patients with Human Immunodeficiency Virus Infection Rationale: Protease inhibitors regimens of antiretroviral therapy also usually involve many restrictions on medication, food or drink. The aim of the study was to assess the strategy of substituting nevirapine, efavirenz, or abacavir for a protease inhibitor, in subjects infected with human immunodeficiency virus type 1 HIV-1 ; , in whom virologic suppression had been achieved. Phase: IV Study Period: First subjects included in December 1999 and last subject included in February 2001 study on-going, with analysis from first year of treatment ; Study Design: Multicentre, randomised and open-label clinical trial of 12 months of duration. Centres: 15 centres in Spain Indication: HIV-1 infection Treatment: Nevirapine, Efavirenz or Abacavir plus antiretroviral background therapy Objectives: To compare the efficacy of nevirapine NVP ; , efavirenz EFV ; , or abacavir ABC ; as a substitute for a protease inhibitor in a large group of successfully treated subjects with HIV-1 infection Primary Outcome Efficacy Variable: This a combined primary endpoint that includes death, progression to AIDs or HIV-1 RNA level of at least 200 copies ml Secondary Outcome Efficacy Variable s ; : CD4 cell count, incidence of side effects and occurrence of metabolic and fat abnormalities Statistical Methods: Sample size 444 subjects ; was calculated to detect equivalence for primary endpoints among treatment groups. Equivalence was defined as upper limit of 95% Confidence Interval CI ; of difference of proportion of subjects 200 copies HIV-1 RNA was less or equal to 13.5%, or a two-sided alpha level of 0.05 and a statistical power of 90%. To compare proportions Chi-square or Fisher exact test were used. For continuous variables comparisons Kruskall-Wallis or Wilcoxon signed rank test were used. Statistical analysis was performed using Stata software release 7.0 ; . Intention to treat analysis ITT ; included those subjects who received at least one dose of medication. On treatment analysis included those subjects that were on treatment until end of study. Safety population included same population used in the ITT analysis. Study Population: Eligible subjects were HIV-1 infected adults who were receiving Highly Active Antiretroviral Therapy HAART ; consisting of at least one protease inhibitor plus two nucleosides reverse-transcriptase inhibitors, HIV-1 RNA levels below 200 copies ml for at least 6 months, and who wished to change the protease-inhibitor for some reason. Pregnant subjects or those wishing to be pregnant during study period, subjects who had prior treatment with non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor or abacavir, or treatment with drugs with potential interactions, or those with psychiatric disorders were excluded.

Provision began in May 2001; about half of those in need of ART are receiving it and treatment and care is provided free. This study aimed to "describe the rate of within regimen substitutions due to adverse events, and regimen switches due to virological failure in a routine ARV roll out setting in South Africa." All treatment nave adults started on ART from May 2001 until the end of 2004, were followed up until June 2005. The initial drug regimens comprised an AZT 3TC NRTI backbone combined with either nevirapine NVP ; or efavirenz EFV ; . Later AZT was changed to d4T. The analyses included time to treatment failure, time to substituting drugs by exposure to each drug and cause of substitution. Failure was time to second consecutive viral load result above 5000 copies mL in line with local protocols for virological failure ; . There were 1729 patients in the cohort, of which 70% were women. The median follow up was 12.3 months IQR 8.1-20.3 months ; and 1062 patients had begun treatment in 2004 ; . The investigators reported that at 36 months, 70% of patients remained on their initial regimen see Table 1 ; in a crosssectional analysis. Table1.
The New Zealand government has yet to make a decision on DTCA. The Ministry of Health has, as a result of the review, given the government some options, and has made a recommendation of which one it would prefer. It is now in the hands of the government to do something about it. Given the recommendation, change isn't expected for some time.62 If the government opts for the route favoured by the Ministry of Health, the only stakeholder group likely to be happy with this is the medical profession.
