Background
• HIV epidemic throughout Americas (except parts of Caribbean) most concentrated in MSM HIV prevalence 10-30%; HIV seroincidence 2-4%
despite ongoing risk reduction counseling
• Biomedical interventions (vaccines, PREP, STD rx, microbicides) being developed, but still years away
• Behavioral interventions needed both as stand-alone and to complement biomedical interventions
EXPLORE
• First behavioral intervention powered to address impact of intensive intervention on HIV seroincidence
• “Cadillac version” of behavioral intervention intended to maximize effects, likelihood for success
• Use of ACASI to get most accurate measures of risk, correlate change in risk with change in seroincidence
Study Design
• Multi-site “RCT” (randomized controlled trial) efficacy trial
• Eligibility: (range of risk behaviors) Male, > 16 yo Any anal sex with man in last year Not in mutually monogamous relationship > 2 yrs
• Intervention 10 individualized sessions w/ boosters q 3 mos
• Control Project Respect risk reduction counseling q 6 mos
Intervention modules
Modules Content
1-3 Introductory and individual risk assessment, provide basic risk reduction skills
4-5 Sexual communication (serostatus, facilitators/barriers)
6 Sex, drinking and drugs
7-9 Triggers for risk (places/events, partners, emotions)
10 Maintenance plan
Measurements
• HIV antibody q 6 months
• Interviewer administered Demographics STD history
• ACASI (audio computer-assisted self interview) Sexual risk Drug use
Outcomes
• Primary endpoint: HIV infection rates
• “Phase IIB” or screening efficacy trial If efficacy < 10%, discard or reformulate If 10-35%, plausibly efficacious, more study If > 35%, efficacious & implement
• Because Phase IIB are smaller than full efficacy trial, less precision in measure

Pre-set cutpoints for efficacy
• Efficacy 18.2% (95% CI: -4.7 to 36%)
• Adjusted efficacy 15.7% (95% CI: -8.4 to 34.4%)
• If lower bound 95% CI > 10%: declare efficacious Didn’t meet this cutpoint
• If upper bound 95% CI < 35%: no substantial efficacy Meet cutpoint to say no efficacy?

Conclusions
• First study of impact of behavioral intervention for MSM on HIV seroincidence
• Recruitment of large cohort, excellent retention
• Modest reduction in HIV seroincidence Can rule out substantial efficacy At cusp between discarding and pursuing further
• Significant reduction in self-reported risk behaviors Implications for using self-reported risk as endpoint in
intervention trials?
Future directions
• Rationale for further analysis and modification Significant reduction in risk Possibility of early effects Likelihood that control condition exceeds usual care
• Precautions Problems retaining young, diverse, risky MSM Unwieldy intervention
• Plans for exploratory analyses Subgroup analyses Focus groups w/ men of color Many other analyses (HSV2, HHV8, risk factors for infection)
