http://www.aidsmap.com/page/ 3467945/ Michael Carter Published:  19 March 2019 A point-of-care urine test can accurately determine if a person is adherent to tenofovir-based pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), according to research presented to the recent  Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections (CROI 2019)  in Seattle. The test checks for antibodies to tenofovir and was tested in a trial of 30 people in Thailand who had different levels of adherence to tenofovir/emtricitabine PrEP. A minimum cut-off value showing if a person had taken PrEP within the past 24 hours was determined. The accuracy of the urine test compared well to gold-standard assays.

The investigators believe it could help motivate people to take their therapy and assist in the identification of people in need of adherence support. However, some de...

Ask them why they are working ag...
