Showing our study in context of released of results from other PrEP studies.
 
Cape Town enrollment began in September 2011, follow up ended in June 2013.
 
DOT was once a week to establish individual level pharmacology levels.
 
After 6 weeks of DOT to estimate steady state drug levels, participants were randomly assigned to one of three unblinded PrEP dosing regimens for 24 weeks of self-administered dosing as follows:
 
Daily (D)
Time Driven: Twice weekly with a post-intercourse boost (T)
Event-driven: Before and after intercourse (E)
Pills were dispensed from an electronic dispensing Wisepill device that recorded each opening
Participants were contacted weekly by phone or in person to review Wisepill data and sex events
Emphasize that collection of reported pill taking and sex events was not combined in the interview to reduce social desirability bias.
 
Final study visit at 34 weeks, 4 weeks after ending self-administered dosing

Coverage
Definition is the same for all 3 arms.
Only vaginal and anal sex acts will be considered; oral sex acts will not be included.
 
Periods of product hold (prior to acquisition of HIV) are included
The date and time of the sex act will be compared to the data and time of pill use as reported on item 2 of the Weekly Interview Log. A sex act will be considered "covered" if the following two conditions are met:
 
i) At least one pill is taken during the 96 hours before the act
ii) A pill is taken within 24 hours after the act
 
Note that the same pill can cover a post-exposure dose for one event and a pre-exposure dose for a different event.

Another primary outcome was the number of tablets required and taken The number of tablets required, shown in blue, was calculated by the number required by each dosing regimen over study follow-up (adjusted by the #of reported sex acts for time- & event-driven arms
The number of required tablets differed significantly by arms- daily required the most, event-driven required the fewest tablets
