Impact of a point-of-care urine tenofovir assay on adherence to HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis among women in Kenya: a randomised pilot trial.
Background: Adherence challenges with oral tenofovir-based pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) are common. We developed a point-of-care assay to objectively assess tenofovir in urine and conducted a pilot trial examining the impact of counselling informed by use of this urine assay on long-term PrEP adherence.
Methods: This randomised trial enrolled women not in serodiscordant partnerships 3 months after PrEP initiation at the Kenya Medical Research Institute to compare standard-of-care adherence counselling versus counselling informed by the urine assay (urine-test counselling group) every 3 months for 12 months. In the standard of care group, urine samples were stored and tested at study end without participant feedback. Here we report the adherence primary outcome of hair concentrations of tenofovir at 12 months as a long-term metric (undetectable levels defined long-term non-adherence), as well as urine concentrations of tenofovir at each visit as a short-term adherence metric and acceptability of the assay assessed by quantitative surveys. Data were analysed by randomisation group. This completed trial was registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT03935464).
Findings: From March 17, 2021 to Jan 18, 2022 we enrolled 49 women in the urine-test counselling group and 51 in the standard of care group; retention was 86 (86%) of 100. Nine (21%) of 42 in the urine-test counselling group had hair samples at 12 months with tenofovir concentrations below the limit of quantification compared with 15 (37%) of 41 in the standard of care group. The relative odds of long-term non-adherence in the standard of care group compared with urine-test counselling were 3·53 (95% CI 1·03-12·03; p=0·044). Pre-intervention, urine tenofovir was detectable in 65% in the urine-test counselling group and 71% in the standard of care group (p=0·68). At 12 months, 31 (72%) of 43 in the intervention group had detectable urine tenofovir compared with 19 (45%) of 42 in the standard of care group (p=0·0015). 40 (93%) of 43 participants liked the test very much and only one disliked the test. One participant in the standard of care group was withdrawn at the 6-month visit due to HIV seroconversion.
Interpretation: A low-cost urine tenofovir assay to inform PrEP counselling resulted in improvement in both short-term and long-term metrics of adherence. This urine tenofovir assay could help to improve long-term PrEP adherence.
