Yea , but no , but yea but, no but... Definitely ..Maybe ... • Does it matter on a population level • Probably not • Does it matter on an individual level ? • Maybe it does... • What do we know re the pharmacology of ARV’s in the male and female genital tract? • Explore some implications : • MICROBICIDES • PEPSE • PREP Variable Genital Tract penetration of ART: Implications STI’s and Local Immune Activation/ Response Biological / anatomical / physiological barriers TRAFFIC Cell associated DNA Cell Free RNA Drug 1 R Genital compartment S Taylor EACS Warsaw Target Cells Drug 1 Drug 2 Drug 3 Blood Compartment Genital Tract penetration of ART • Best case scenario • Worst case scenario • Differential drug penetration does not matter • No compartmental effect • Undetectable in plasma = undetectable in genital tract • Under ART STI’s have no effect on viral shedding • Differential penetration & activity • of ART in different body compartments • Under ART the Sexual Transmission of HIV does not occur • STI’s enhance genital tract replication & facilitate transmission S. Taylor EACS Warsaw • Marked compartmental effect • Ongoing GT replication despite undetectable plasma viral load • +/- Selection of drug resistant HIV • Under ART Sexual Transmission can still occur There are a lot of parallels with the brain and genital tract and the questions raised regarding drug penetration Lipid Solubility (partition cœfficient) Protein Binding Dissociation constant (pKa) Membrane Penetration Free Drug Diffusion gradient Weak acids become ionised pH Trapping in alkaline compartments Trapping in acidic compartments Weak bases become ionised pH Journal of Sexually Transmitted Infections 2001; 77:4-11 + AAC 1999 Size A C T I V E Prostate pH 6.6 , Genital tract drug level monitoring: an evolution in compartmental pharmacokinetics • • • • • • • • • • • Does the drug get there?
