HIV transmission proportions were similar (<1%) in the 2 arms. We assessed whether maternal viral load (MVL) and CD4 cell counts were associated with breastfeeding HIV transmission. METHODS: MVL was collected at entry (7-14 days postpartum) and at weeks 6, 14, 26, and 50 postpartum. CD4 cell counts were collected at entry and weeks 14, 26, 38, and 50 postpartum. Infant HIV-1 nucleic acid test was performed at weeks 1 and 6, every 4 weeks until week 26, and then every 12 weeks. The associations of baseline and time-varying MVL and CD4 cell counts with transmission risk were assessed using time-to-event analyses by randomized treatment arm. RESULTS: Two thousand four hundred thirty-one mother-infant pairs were enrolled in the study. Baseline MVL (P = 0.11) and CD4 cell counts (P = 0.51) were not significantly associated with infant HIV-1 infection. Time-varying MVL was significantly associated with infant HIV-1 infection {hazard ratio [95% confidence interval (CI)]: 13.96 (3.12 to 62.45)} in the mART arm but not in the iNVP arm [hazard ratio (95% CI): 1.04 (0.20 to 5.39)]. Time-varying CD4 cell counts were also significantly associated with infant HIV-1 infection [hazard ratio (95% CI): 0.18 (0.03 to 0.93)] in the mART arm but not in the iNVP arm [hazard ratio (95% CI): 0.38 (0.08 to 1.77)]. CONCLUSIONS: In women receiving mART, increased MVL and decreased CD4 cell counts during breastfeeding were associated with increased risk of infant HIV-1 infection.Item Corrigendum to "oral and injectable contraceptive use and HIV acquisition risk among women in four African countries: a secondary analysis of data from a microbicide trial" [Contraception 2016; 93 (1): 25-31].(2016-Jul) Balkus JE; Brown ER; Hillier SL; Coletti A; Ramjee G; Mgodi N; Makanani B; Reid C; Martinson F; Soto-Torres L; Abdool Karim SS; Chirenje ZM; College of Medicine, University of Malawi, Blantyre, Malawi.; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.; FHI360, Durham, NC, USA.; Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences and the Magee-Women's Research Institute, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.; University of North Carolina Project, Kamuzu Central Hospital, Lilongwe, Malawi.; Centre for the AIDS Program of Research in South Africa, Doris Duke Medical Research Institute, Nelson R.

METHODS: Between 2005 and 2007, 3099 women were enrolled in HIV Prevention Trials Network (HPTN) protocol 035, a phase II/IIb evaluation of the safety and effectiveness of BufferGel and PRO 2000 for prevention of STIs, including Neisseria gonorrhoeae (NG), Chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and Trichomonas vaginalis (TV). Incidences of STIs were determined by study arm, and HRs of BufferGel and PRO 2000 versus placebo gel or no gel control groups were computed using discrete time Andersen-Gill proportional hazards model. RESULTS: The overall incidence rates were 1.6/100 person-years at risk (PYAR) for NG, 3.9/100 PYAR for CT and 15.3/100 PYAR for TV. For BufferGel versus placebo gel, HRs were 0.99 (95% CI 0.49 to 2.00), 1.00 (95% CI 0.64 to 1.57) and 0.95 (95% CI 0.71 to 1.25) for prevention of NG, CT and TV, respectively. For PRO 2000, HRs were 1.66 (95% CI 0.90 to 3.06), 1.16 (95% CI 0.76 to 1.79) and 1.18 (95% CI 0.90 to 1.53) for prevention of NG, CT and TV, respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of STIs was high during HIV Prevention Trials Network 035 despite provision of free condoms and comprehensive risk-reduction counselling, highlighting the need for effective STI prevention programmes in this population. Unfortunately, candidate microbicides BufferGel and PRO2000 had no protective effect against gonorrhoea, chlamydia or trichomoniasis. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: NCT00074425.Item Impact of targeted counseling on reported vaginal hygiene practices and bacterial vaginosis: the HIV Prevention Trials Network 035 study.(2017-Apr) Kasaro MP; Husnik MJ; Chi BH; Reid C; Magure T; Makanani B; Tembo T; Ramjee G; Maslankowski L; Rabe L; Brad Guffey M; 4 Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, College of Health Science, University of Zimbabwe, Harare, Zimbabwe.; 9 Magee-Women's Research Institute, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.; 3 Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, Statistical Center for HIV/AIDS Research & Prevention, Seattle, WA, USA.; 1 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC, USA.; 8 University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA.; 5 College of Medicine-John Hopkins University Research Project, Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital, Blantyre, Malawi.; 7 HIV Prevention Research Unit 1, South African Medical Research Council, Durban, South Africa.; 2 Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia, Lusaka, Zambia.; 1 0Family Legacy, Lusaka, Zambia.; 6 UNC Project-Malawi, Kamuzu Central Hospital, Lilongwe, Malawi.; CIDRZ; Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ)The objective of this study was to describe the impact of intense counseling to reduce vaginal hygiene practices and its effect on bacterial vaginosis. A secondary data analysis of the HIV Prevention Trials Network 035 study was undertaken, focusing on HIV-negative, nonpregnant women who were at least 18 years old, in seven African sites and one US site. At enrollment and during follow-up quarterly visits, vaginal hygiene practices were determined by face-to-face administration of a behavioral assessment questionnaire. Vaginal hygiene practices were categorized as insertion into the vagina of (1) nothing, (2) water only, and (3) other substances with or without water. Each practice was quantified by frequency and type/combination of inserted substances. At quarterly visits, diagnosis of bacterial vaginosis was made using the Nugent score. Trends for vaginal hygiene practices and bacterial vaginosis were evaluated using generalized estimating equation models. A total of 3087 participants from the HIV Prevention Trials Network 035 study were eligible for this analysis. At enrollment, 1859 (60%) reported recent vaginal hygiene practices. By one year, this figure had decreased to 1019 (33%) with counseling. However, bacterial vaginosis prevalence remained consistent across the study observation period, with 36%-38% of women testing positive for the condition ( p for trend = 0.27). Overall, those who reported douching with water only (AOR = 1.03, 95%CI: 0.94-1.13) and those who reported inserting other substances (AOR= 0.98, 95%CI: 0.88-1.09) in the past quarter were not more likely to have bacterial vaginosis compared to those who reported no insertions. However, in South Africa, an increase in bacterial vaginosis was seen among those who reported inserting other substances (AOR: 1.48, 95%CI: 1.17, 1.88). In conclusion, targeted counseling against vaginal hygiene practices resulted in change in self-reported behavior but did not have an impact on bacterial vaginosis diagnosis in all but one site.Item Long-term follow-up of HIV seroconverters in microbicide trials - rationale, study design, and challenges in MTN-015.(2016-Sep) Riddler SA; Husnik M; Gorbach PM; Levy L; Parikh U; Livant E; Pather A; Makanani B; Muhlanga F; Kasaro M; Martinson F; Elharrar V; Balkus JE; h UZ-UCSF Collaborative Research Programme , University of Zimbabwe , Harare , Zimbabwe.; b MTN Statistical and Data Management Center , Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center , Seattle , WA , USA.; j UNC Project - Tidziwe Centre , Kamuzu Central Hospital , Lilongwe , Malawi.; g College of Medicine-John Hopkins University Research Project , Queen Elizabeth Central Hospital , Blantyre , Malawi.; k Division of AIDS , National Institutes of Health , Bethesda , MD , USA.; f HIV Prevention Research Unit , South African Medical Research Council , Durban , South Africa.; e Microbicide Trials Network , Magee-Womens Research Institute , Pittsburgh , PA , USA.; d FHI360 , Durham, NC , USA.; i Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia , Lusaka , Zambia.; a Division of Infectious Diseases , University of Pittsburgh , Pittsburgh , PA , USA.; c Department of Epidemiology , University of California , Los Angeles , CA , USA.; CIDRZ; Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ)BACKGROUND: As the effect of biomedical prevention interventions on the natural history of HIV-1 infection in participants who seroconvert is unknown, the Microbicide Trials Network (MTN) established a longitudinal study (MTN-015) to monitor virologic, immunological, and clinical outcomes, as well as behavioral changes among women who become HIV-infected during MTN trials. We describe the rationale, study design, implementation, and enrollment of the initial group of participants in the MTN seroconverter cohort. METHODS: Initiated in 2008, MTN-015 is an ongoing observational cohort study enrolling participants who acquire HIV-1 infection during effectiveness studies of candidate microbicides. Eligible participants from recently completed and ongoing MTN trials are enrolled after seroconversion and return for regular follow-up visits with clinical and behavioral data collection. Biologic samples including blood and genital fluids are stored for future testing. RESULTS: MTN-015 was implemented initially at six African sites and enrolled 100/139 (72%) of eligible women who seroconverted in HIV Prevention Trials Network protocol 035 (HPTN 035, conducted by the MTN). The median time from seroconversion in HPTN 035 to enrollment in MTN-015 was 18 months. Retention was good with >70% of visits completed. Implementation challenges included regulatory reviews, translation, and testing of questionnaires, and site readiness. CONCLUSIONS: Enrollment of HIV-seroconverters into a longitudinal observational follow-up study is feasible and acceptable to participants. Data and samples collected in this protocol will be used to assess safety of investigational HIV microbicides and answer other important public health questions for HIV infected women.Item Oral and injectable contraceptive use and HIV acquisition risk among women in four African countries: a secondary analysis of data from a microbicide trial.(2016-Jan) Balkus JE; Brown ER; Hillier SL; Coletti A; Ramjee G; Mgodi N; Makanani B; Reid C; Martinson F; Soto-Torres L; Abdool Karim SS; Chirenje ZM; College of Medicine, University of Malawi, Blantyre, Malawi.; National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD, USA.; FHI360, Durham, NC, USA.; Department of Obstetrics, Gynecology and Reproductive Sciences and the Magee-Women's Research Institute, University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine, Pittsburgh, PA, USA.; University of North Carolina Project, Kamuzu Central Hospital, Lilongwe, Malawi.; Centre for the AIDS Program of Research in South Africa, Doris Duke Medical Research Institute, Nelson R.

Electronic address: jbalkus@fhcrc.org.; CIDRZ; Centre for Infectious Disease Research in Zambia (CIDRZ)OBJECTIVE: To assess the effect of oral and injectable contraceptive use compared to nonhormonal contraceptive use on HIV acquisition among Southern African women enrolled in a microbicide trial. STUDY DESIGN: This is a prospective cohort study using data from women enrolled in HIV Prevention Trials Network protocol 035. At each quarterly visit, participants were interviewed about self-reported contraceptive use and sexual behaviors and underwent HIV testing. Cox proportional hazards regression was used to assess the effect of injectable and oral hormonal contraceptive use on HIV acquisition. RESULTS: The analysis included 2830 participants, of whom 106 became HIV infected (4.07 per 100 person-years). At baseline, 1546 (51%) participants reported using injectable contraceptives and 595 (21%) reported using oral contraceptives. HIV incidence among injectable, oral and nonhormonal contraceptive method users was 4.72, 2.68 and 3.83 per 100 person-years, respectively. Injectable contraceptive use was associated with a nonstatistically significant increased risk of HIV acquisition [adjusted hazard ratio (aHR)=1.17; 95% confidence interval (CI) 0.70, 1.96], while oral contraceptive use was associated with a nonstatistically significant decreased risk of HIV acquisition (aHR=0.76; 95% CI 0.37,1.55). CONCLUSION: In this secondary analysis of randomized trial data, a marginal, but nonstatistically significant, increase in HIV risk among women using injectable hormonal contraceptives was observed. No increased HIV risk was observed among women using oral contraceptives. Our findings support the World Health Organization's recommendation that women at high risk for acquiring HIV, including those using progestogen-only injectable contraception, should be strongly advised to always use condoms and other HIV prevention measures. IMPLICATIONS: Among Southern African women participating in an HIV prevention trial, women using injectable hormonal contraceptives had a modest increased risk of HIV acquisition; however, this association was not statistically significant. Continued research on the relationship between widely used hormonal contraceptive methods and HIV acquisition is essential.Item Prevention of HIV-1 Transmission Through Breastfeeding: Efficacy and Safety of Maternal Antiretroviral Therapy Versus Infant Nevirapine Prophylaxis for Duration of Breastfeeding in HIV-1-Infected Women With High CD4 Cell Count (IMPAACT PROMISE): A Randomized, Open-Label, Clinical Trial.(2018-Apr-01) Flynn PM; Taha TE; Cababasay M; Fowler MG; Mofenson LM; Owor M; Fiscus S; Stranix-Chibanda L; Coutsoudis A; Gnanashanmugam D; Chakhtoura N; McCarthy K; Mukuzunga C; Makanani B; Moodley D; Nematadzira T; Kusakara B; Patil S; Vhembo T; Bobat R; Mmbaga BT; Masenya M; Nyati M; Theron G; Mulenga H; Butler K; Shapiro DE; Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute, Johannesburg, South Africa.; Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences, Stellenbosch University, Cape Town, South Africa.; Division of AIDS, National Institute of Allergy and Immunology, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, MD.; Department of Pathology, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, Baltimore, MD.; Department of Microbiology and Immunology, University of North Carolina School of Medicine, Chapel Hill, NC.; Department of Pediatrics, Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre, Moshi, Tanzania.; Department of Infectious Diseases, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, Memphis, TN.; Department of Pediatrics and Child Health, Nelson R.

SETTING: Fourteen sites in Sub-Saharan Africa and India. METHODS: A randomized, open-label strategy trial was conducted in HIV-1-infected women with CD4 counts ≥350 cells/mm (or ≥country-specific ART threshold if higher) and their breastfeeding HIV-1-uninfected newborns. Randomization at 6-14 days postpartum was to mART or infant nevirapine (iNVP) prophylaxis continued until 18 months after delivery or breastfeeding cessation, infant HIV-1 infection, or toxicity, whichever occurred first. The primary efficacy outcome was confirmed infant HIV-1 infection. Efficacy analyses included all randomized mother-infant pairs except those with infant HIV-1 infection at entry. RESULTS: Between June 2011 and October 2014, 2431 mother-infant pairs were enrolled; 97% of women were World Health Organization Clinical Stage I, median screening CD4 count 686 cells/mm. Median infant gestational age/birth weight was 39 weeks/2.9 kilograms. Seven of 1219 (0.57%) and 7 of 1211 (0.58%) analyzed infants in the mART and iNVP arms, respectively, were HIV-infected (hazard ratio 1.0, 96% repeated confidence interval 0.3-3.1); infant HIV-free survival was high (97.1%, mART and 97.7%, iNVP, at 24 months). There were no significant differences between arms in median time to breastfeeding cessation (16 months) or incidence of severe, life-threatening, or fatal adverse events for mothers or infants (14 and 42 per 100 person-years, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Both mART and iNVP prophylaxis strategies were safe and associated with very low breastfeeding HIV-1 transmission and high infant HIV-1-free survival at 24 months.
