PCC Behavioral Intervention Group
PCC is based on the Model of Relapse Prevention and Gold's Self-Appraisal of Risk Behavior. The PCC intervention was conducted as a 1-hour, single-session, individual level intervention administered by a trained counselor in a clinic setting. After completion of the PCC intervention, all subjects were provided with daily FTC/TDF (Truvada®) as Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for 48 weeks.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 48

Population: Participants providing data for this question at Week 48.

Behavioral disinhibition/risk compensation was assessed based on a number of questions, including the following related to unprotected sex from the participant ACASI: "Of these males \[male partners\], how many did you have unprotected oral or anal sex with since the last time you took this survey?" An event is defined as an answer of greater than 0. This represents one of the indicators associated with the objective: Additional safety data regarding FTC/TDF (Truvada®) use among HIV-uninfected YMSM.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Week 4, Week 12, Week 24, Week 36, Week 48

Population: Number analyzed in each row varies based on the number of enrolled subjects with DBS data available for each week.

This outcome addresses the objective: Rates of adherence and measured levels of drug exposure when YMSM are provided open label FTC/TDF (Truvada®) and information regarding the safety and efficacy of PrEP from prior studies. Medication adherence is estimated by factors including levels of drug exposure as measured by DBS red blood cell (RBC) samples. The TFV dosing level was translated into number of dosing days per week for week 8 onwards using lab estimates as follows: '\<2 days' is defined as \<350 (fmol/punch), '2 days' as 350 to 700 (fmol/punch), '4 days' as \>700 to 1250 (fmol/punch), and 'Daily' as \>1250 (fmol/punch). The TFV dosing level was translated into number of dosing days for week 4 using lab estimates as follows: '\<2 days' is defined as \<275 (fmol/punch), '2 days' as 275 to 525 (fmol/punch), '4 days' as \>525 to 950 (fmol/punch),and 'Daily' as \>950 (fmol/punch)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 48 weeks

Population: Data not collected; only one type of risk reduction intervention was ultimately implemented.

Study subjects were given a brief Session Evaluation Form at the end of the behavioral intervention session consisting of ten items on a 4-point response scale aimed at eliciting information about the subject's experience with the session (i.e., was session interesting, was it relevant to their life, and did they learn from the session)

Subjects were asked to rate various measures as "Never," "Rarely," "Sometimes," or "Often" the reason for missing taking study pills. Data shown for Week 48. Question: In the past month, how often have you missed taking your study pills because you:

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 48 weeks

Population: Quantitative data were not collected for this outcome.

Brief phone interviews and review of written institutional review board (IRB) correspondence will be conducted for all sites whether the study is approved at that site or not. If approved, the steps needed for approval and how barriers were addressed will be examined. If the study was rejected, the reasons for disapproval, the IRB's interpretation of the risk of PrEP, and other barriers will be examined. In addition, data from a survey specific to each site's IRB's responses of minor YMSM inclusion in PrEP studies will be evaluated. NOTE: Data collected to address this outcome were primarily qualitative in nature, and as such are not presented here. For more information on this outcome, refer to: Gilbert AL, Knopf AS, Fortenberry JD, Hosek SG, Kapogiannis BG, Zimet GD.
