Figure 5. Predicted % infections prevented by distinct TDF-based prophylactic strategies for various parameter sets.

Figure 5

A: Predicted % infections prevented by once daily 300 mg TDF taken at different levels of adherence and with distinct virus inoculum sizes. Inline graphic prophylactic efficacy depends on adherence at the p Inline graphic 0.05 or p Inline graphic 0.01 level respectively. B: Predicted % infections prevented by a one week 300 mg TDF (1w-PrEP/PEP) when started at distinct times before/after exposure with distinct numbers of viruses. Inline graphic prophylactic efficacy depends on the timing of start of TDF administration at the p Inline graphic 0.05 or p Inline graphic 0.01 level respectively. C: Predicted % infections prevented by a single dose 300 mg TDF (sd-PrEP) when taken at distinct times before exposure with distinct virus inoculum sizes. Inline graphic prophylactic efficacy depends on the timing of TDF single dose administration at the p Inline graphic 0.05 or p Inline graphic 0.01 level respectively. D: Predicted % infections prevented by a single dose 600 mg TDF (sd-PrEP) when taken at distinct times before exposure with distinct virus inoculum sizes. Error bars represent confidence bounds calculated using Greenwood’s formula. Inline graphic prophylactic efficacy depends on the inoculum size. The predicted probability of infection in the absence of drugs Inline graphic was Inline graphic, Inline graphic, Inline graphic and Inline graphic when Inline graphic = 1, 5, 20 or 100, respectively, viruses were inoculated.
