Grants - AWARD SUMMARYUNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, LOS ANGELES
The project effect of male circumcision on HIV acquisition may be due to improved genital hygiene. We propose to evaluate the feasibility of a post-coital genital hygiene study among men unwilling to be circumcised in Orange Farm, South Africa. Men in high prevalence settings could potentially benefit from improved genital hygiene if this intervention proved to be officious in reducing HIV acquisition risk. The first step in the intervention development process is to test the feasibility of post-coital male genital hygiene. The aim of the proposed feasibility study is to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of a post-coital male genital hygiene procedure, which participants will be asked to practice immediately post-coitus or at least 12 hours after. The feasibility of a prevention RCT with an alternating intervention design on the effect of post-coital penile hygiene on HIV incidence among young males in South Africa will be sustained if the procedure is acceptable, is deemed convenient and practicable by the target population, and if adherence is high.

Quarterly Activities/Project Description The spread of HIV is dramatic in Southern and East Africa where over 15% of adults are infected with HIV. It is essential to conceive and test new, innovative, and affordable prevention methods that can reduce the sexual transmission of HIV and which are complementary to the current preventive strategies such as consistent condom use, reduction of the number of sexual partners, and male circumcision. The outcomes of interest are: 1)Proportion of volunteers able to be trained to perform the penile cleansing procedure. 2)Proportion of participants reporting adherence to early post-coital penile cleansing. 3)Proportion of participants reporting adherence to delayed post-coital penile cleansing. 4)Proportion of participants favorable to the practice of the post-coital penile cleansing procedure. 5)Proportion of participants reporting partner's acceptance of the practice. 6) Proportion of participants adherent to the post-coital penile cleansing during study follow-up as assessed by penile swabs analysis. No results to report as field activities have commenced but are not complete. As of June 2010, 100 participants have been recruited of which 62 have received one follow up home visit and 33 have received two home visits. IRB approvals have been obtained, protocols have been written, and staff have been trained.
