摘要

The aim of non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (NPEP) is to interrupt HIV replication and prevent establishment of infection.1,2 The effectiveness of treatment depends on prompt initiation and completion of a 4-week course of anti-retroviral therapy.3 Awareness of the availability of NPEP is crucial to the uptake of the program.nnNational NPEP guidelines were developed in 2001.3 In 2002, Western Australia (WA) adapted these guidelines to the local context4 and the WA NPEP database was established. The low level of awareness of NPEP, demonstrated in the 20025 and 20046 surveys of the gay community of Perth, and anecdotal reports of inappropriate use of NPEP, triggered the development of a social marketing strategy, which began in May 2005 and is ongoing. The strategy targeted gay men, and other groups at risk of acquiring HIV infection, through gay community press advertising, gay venue-based promotion, and supporting strategies. In addition, guidelines on the use of NPEP were disseminated to general practitioners and health care providers in Emergency Departments and Sexual Health Clinics.nnAwareness of NPEP among gay men was measured by comparing the results of gay community periodic surveys in Perth, WA, conducted in 2002 and 2004 (pre-communication strategy)5,6 and in 2006 (post-communication strategy).7 NPEP use and compliance were measured using data from the WA NPEP database. We analysed all cases on the WA NPEP database from 1 May 2002 to 30 April 2008. We made comparisons between characteristics of recipients and compliance with guidelines before and after 1 May 2005, corresponding to the pre- and post-communication strategy timeframes.nnAfter the commencement of the strategy, awareness of NPEP among gay men in Perth nearly doubled (48.2% in 2006 v. 26% in 2004, P < 0.001)6,7 and the number of people receiving NPEP increased by 26%. The proportions of male and men who have sex with men (MSM) NPEP recipients more than doubled and the proportion of recipients who met the criteria for NPEP increased significantly from 61% to 89% (P = 0.000). More recipients completed the 4-week treatment regime after the strategy (60% compared with 48%, P = 0.047) but the timeliness of treatment did not change, with >90% starting treatment within 72 h (Table 1). Loss to follow up remained significant at 60% at 6 months.nnThe temporal relationship between the social marketing strategy and the increase in the proportion and number of MSM recipients receiving NPEP, and the apparent increased awareness of NPEP among this high risk group, is consistent with the intended effect of the strategy. The reversal of gender ratio was due to a combination of more MSM accessing NPEP and fewer women receiving NPEP inappropriately following sexual assault, resulting in an increase to 89% in the proportion of recipients who met the criteria for initiation of NPEP. This increase is also temporally associated with the social marketing strategy.nnThe main limitation of this analysis is the high proportion of clients who were lost to follow up. Several clients were known to have returned overseas or interstate and may have completed treatment and follow up outside WA. It is likely that the analysis underestimated the proportion that completed treatment. Although there was no documented HIV sero-conversion, it is possible that this could have occurred without notification to the WA NPEP database. It is also possible that other unidentified factors also contributed to the increase in awareness of NPEP over time.nnIn conclusion, it is reassuring that WA’s NPEP social marketing campaign was followed by increased awareness of NPEP in the target group (gay men) and more appropriate use of NPEP.
