RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) is a biomedical intervention to prevent HIV infection in seronegative people at high risk of becoming infected. This strategy was endorsed in October 2019 by the Spanish Ministry of Health. OBJECTIVE: To present the PrEP initial experience in the HIV Unit of the Hospital Clínic of Barcelona, paying special attention to the analysis of the vulnerability factors in the cohort. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective, descriptive study. The epidemiological, sociodemographic, and clinical characteristics of the users included in the program during the first year are analyzed, paying particular attention to Infections, risky practices, and substance use. RESULTS: 190 individuals were included, 177 men and 12 trans women with a mean age of 35 years (8 SD). 70% had higher education, and half had Spanish nationality. An average of 10 couples per trimester and 60% reported unprotected anal sex. 31% had at least one positive PCR for STIs, with N. gonorrhoeae being the most prevalent microorganism (51%) and the rectal sample the most affected (21%). 63% reported chemsex use, 19% polydrug use, and 8% "slamming". Half expressed concern about consumption and/or sexual practices and 25% the need for help. CONCLUSIONS: The PrEP user profile attended in our Hospital Unit justifies the creation of multidisciplinary teams that allow us to provide holistic attention to the sexual life of these people.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Ablative treatment of intra-anal high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesions (HSIL) reduces the risk of progression to anal squamous cell carcinoma. Our objective was to assess the short-term effectiveness and tolerability of the carbon dioxide laser for treating intra-anal HSIL in patients at high risk of anal cancer. METHODS: This is an exploratory, pilot, single-arm, clinical trial of treatment response for anal HSIL in people living with HIV diagnosed with ≤3 not previously treated HSILs. Individuals were treated with one carbon dioxide laser treatment session. Clinical assessment by high resolution anoscopy and systematic recording of adverse events was performed. RESULTS: Fifty-two patients with 72 HSILs were included. Response to treatment was assessed in 48 (92.3%) patients; in the per-protocol population analysis, complete, partial, and no response was seen in 50% (n = 24), 20.8% (n = 10) and 29.1% (n = 14), respectively. Being older than 40 years and having a CD4 T-cell count lower than 200 cells/µL at diagnosis of HSIL were significantly associated with a poor response to treatment. Data on adverse events was recorded for 49 patients and 69.4% (n=34) reported no symptoms after the procedure. CONCLUSIONS: Carbon dioxide laser ablation is a promising and well tolerated treatment for intra-anal HSIL.
