African adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) have adherence challenges with daily oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). However, the most important aspect of PrEP use is high adherence during periods of risk (“prevention-effective adherence”). An understanding of temporal patterns of HIV risk and PrEP use is needed among African AGYW. HPTN 082 was an open-label PrEP study among AGYW (ages 16-24) in South Africa and Zimbabwe from 2016-2018. At Weeks 13, 26, and 52, we measured cumulative PrEP adherence with tenofovir (TFV)-diphosphate (DP) concentrations in dried blood spots and PrEP use in the prior week using TFV in plasma. Behavioral and STI data were collected quarterly. We categorized visits into a binary “any HIV risk” variable based on condomless sex, ≥1 partner, partner’s HIV status and antiretroviral use, transactional sex, drug or alcohol use around sexual activity, and laboratory-diagnosed STIs. In this protocol-defined secondary analysis, we used generalized estimating equations to evaluate associations between HIV risk (reflecting behavior during three prior months) and cumulative and recent PrEP adherence (dichotomized as TFV-DP </≥700 fmol/punch, TFV </≥40 ng/mL) and any PrEP use (quantifiable drug concentrations) in intervals between Weeks 13, 26, and 52. Among 427 AGYW, 364 (85%), 226 (60%), 243 (65%), and 224 (61%) reported ≥1 risk factor at enrollment and weeks 13, 26, and 52, respectively. Any HIV risk at the visit was associated with greater likelihood of TFV-DP ≥700 fmol/punch (adjusted relative risk [RR]:1.57; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.09-2.25) and plasma TFV ≥40 ng/mL (aRR:1.36; 95% CI: 1.11-1.65). Any risk was also associated with quantifiable TFV-DP (aRR:1.15; 95% CI: 1.03-1.29) and plasma TFV (aRR:1.27; 95% CI: 1.09-1.49). We observed significant dose-response relationships between number of risk factors and drug concentrations. The association between HIV risk and PrEP adherence indicates that African AGYW were able to use PrEP during periods of risk, an indicator of prevention-effective PrEP adherence. Our findings support a shift in the PrEP paradigm to acknowledge “prevention-effective adherence” practices, which may improve PrEP delivery and adherence support for AGYW in HIV endemic settings.
