Were the Fewer HIV Infections in F/TAF Due to Chance? ¨ The incidence ratio (IRR) was 0. 47 (95% CI 0. 19, 1. 15) reflecting that the point estimate of the HIV incidence rate was 53% lower in the F/TAF arm compared with F/TDF ¨ Probability of the above result due to chance is 3 in 1, 000 ¨ Post-hoc Bayesian analysis calculated a 96% (95% credible interval) probability that F/TAF is more effective than F/TDF ¨ We examined sexual behavior, STI incidence, adherence, and PK to evaluate any differences between F/TAF and F/TDF which could explain the fewer infections in the F/TAF arm 6

Conclusions: F/TAF Has a More Rapid Onset and Longer Sustained Duration of Protection than

Conclusions: F/TAF Has a More Rapid Onset and Longer Sustained Duration of Protection than F/TDF ¨ Noninferiority of F/TAF to F/TDF was established by the lower HIV incidence of F/TAF compared with F/TDF – Risk behavior, STIs, and Adherence were similar between arms ¨ HIV prevention efficacy PK parameters differed between F/TAF vs F/TDF: – TFV-DP levels in PBMCS were 6. 3 fold higher with F/TAF vs F/TDF – 98% in the F/TAF arm are above EC 90 compared with 68% in F/TDF arm – F/TAF achieved EC 90 within 1– 2 hrs of first dose vs 3 days of daily doses of F/TDF – F/TAF expected to remain above EC 90 for 16 days vs 10 days for F/TDF ¨ The more rapid onset and longer duration of protection may be the most probable explanation for the higher prevention efficacy of F/TAF ¨ F/TAF is a safer, potentially more efficacious option than F/TDF for prevention of HIV 18
