Pre-exposure prophylaxis is effective in preventing HIV, but data show that its effectiveness is compromised by suboptimal adherence. This randomized controlled trial (n = 69) tested the impact of an iPhone game, Viral Combat, on PrEP adherence over 24 weeks. Tenofovir-diphosphate in red blood cells was collected as a biological outcome of adherence. At 24-weeks, intervention participants were 3.75 (95% CI: 1.20-11.77; p = 0.02) times as likely to engage in optimal PrEP dosing compared to controls. Viral Combat showed preliminary efficacy in improving PrEP adherence for diverse young men who have sex with men.
暴露前预防(PrEP)在预防艾滋病毒方面是有效的,但数据显示,其效果因依从性不佳而受到影响。这项随机对照试验(n=69)测试了一款名为“Viral Combat”的 iPhone 游戏对 PrEP 依从性的影响,试验时间为 24 周。收集红细胞中的替诺福韦二磷酸盐作为依从性的生物学结果。在 24 周时,与对照组相比,干预组参与者有 3.75 倍(95%CI:1.20-11.77;p=0.02)的可能性达到最佳 PrEP 剂量。Viral Combat 初步显示出对不同男男性行为者提高 PrEP 依从性的效果。
