Abstract:
Objective:To analyze the effects of HIV non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) in men who have sex with men (MSM) in Nanning and Liuzhou, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region.Methods:Participants were recruited through community publicity and advocacy under a "Trinity" approach among non-governmental organizations (NGO), CDCs/hospitals and pharmacies. Basic information, drug taking and follow-up tests of participants who had enrolled for 28 days of the research were collected. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis.Results:From September 2017 to March 2019, a total of 213 MSM cases consulted for nPEP service, 159 of them were eligible for nPEP, and 154 were enrolled in the study for drug taking. For 132 cases enrolled in the study for 28 days and above, 118 completed the 28-day course of antiretroviral therapy (ART), while 10 failed to complete the 28-day course of ART, and 4 could not be confirmed whether completed the full course of ART due to loss of contact. For those who completed 28-day course of ART, 94.1% (111/118) and 75.4% (89/118) respectively received HIV tests at 4-6 weeks and 3 months after exposure, the results were all HIV negative.Conclusion:Under the "Trinity" approach, taking antiviral drugs earlier after HIV non-occupational exposure can effectively reduce the risk of HIV infection and to some extent, reduce the new infection cases.
