Communications of the Theravir team at the International Conference CROI 2023, Seattle USA

Two oral presentations and two posters from the Theravir team have been selected for the annual CROI conference, Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunistic Infections,  February 19-23, 2023 in Seattle, USA

Oral Communications : These results are from the ANRS 174 Doxyvac clinical trial, a study of combination prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in men who have sex with men using oral TDF/FTC for HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)

Oral Session Feb. 20, 2023 - HIV AND STI PREVENTION: NEW TOOLS ANDAPPROACHES: ANRS 174 DOXYVAC An Open-Label Randomized trial to Prevent STIs in MSM on PrEP.

Poster Session-R1 : MOLECULAR HIV EPIDEMIOLOGY. Poster 844- Epidemiological and molecular evolution of the HIV-1 CRF94 : birth of CRF132. Marc Wirden, Fabienne De-Oliveira, Marie-Laure Chaix, Stéphanie Marque-Juillet , Sidonie Lambert-Niclot  , Basma Abdi , Charlotte Charpentier , Benedicte Roquebert ; Jean-Christophe Plantier, Diane Descamps , Vincent Calvez , Anne-Genevieve Marcelin , Benoit Visseaux , for the The Agence Nationale de Recherche sur le SIDA, les hépatites et maladies émergentes (ANRS-MIE group).  This collaborative work, carried out with the ANRS and Maladies Emergentes network, describes the epidemiological and molecular evolution of the transmission cluster involving the HIV-1 recombinant CRF94_02BF2 discovered in 2017. In June 2022, this CRF94 cluster included 63 MSM but only 2 infections were detected after 2019. At the same time, a new strain was discovered resulting from the recombination of CRF94 with a B subtype giving rise to CRF132_94B. This new recombinant was involved in a new cluster of 32 MSM including 29 diagnosed after 2019. The virological and immunological data suggest a lower virulence of CRF132 compared to CRF94, probably due to the change of subtype of the vif gene from F2 to B.
