About

This study tested whether taking a pill of tenofovir and emtricitabine (two antiretroviral medicines) was safe for sexually-active young adults in Botswana without HIV infection and whether it reduced their risk of getting an HIV infection.

Full description

Twelve hundred and nineteen healthy, sexually active women and men, 18-39 years old, without HIV infection were enrolled in Francistown and Gaborone, Botswana. They were provided with free male and female condoms, repeated individualized risk-reduction counseling, diagnosis and treatment of sexually transmitted diseases, and women will be provided with a choice of effective family planning methods. In addition, volunteers were randomized to receive either Tenofovir and emtricitabine (in a single pill) or a placebo pill to take once a day. Volunteers were seen monthly for at least 12 months to monitor for side effects and toxicities and to test their HIV status. Persons who become HIV infected during the trial received ongoing supportive counseling, CD4 and viral load monitoring, education about HIV infection/disease, and access to HIV care including free antiretrovirals when clinically indicated. Volunteer safety was monitored by a local ethics committee, Centers for Disease Control Institutional Review Board (CDC IRB) and an independent data safety and monitoring board

1,219 participants in 2 patient groups, including a placebo group

TDF-FTC,condoms,adh/risk counseling
Active Comparator group
Description:
Eligible participants were randomized to oral Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300 mg + Emtricitabine 200 mg (TDF-FTC) once daily in the form of a single tablet. The ratio of randomization was 1:1. Participants randomized to the active arm received male and female condoms, risk reduction counseling, adherence counseling, and routine monitoring for HIV infection, laboratory abnormalities, and adverse events.
Treatment:
Drug: Tenofovir Disoproxil Fumarate 300 mg + Emtricitabine 200 mg
Placebo,condoms,adh/risk counseling
Placebo Comparator group
Description:
Eligible participants were randomized to the placebo arm and received placebo oral tablets that were visually identical to the TDF-FTC tablet and taken once daily. The placebo tablets contained no active ingredients. The ratio of randomization was 1:1. Participants randomized to the placebo arm received male and female condoms, personalized risk reduction counseling, adherence counseling, and routine monitoring for HIV infection, laboratory abnormalities, and adverse events.
Treatment:
