  Pharmacokinetics of dapivirine transfer into blood plasma, breast milk, and cervicovaginal fluid of lactating women using dapivirine vaginal ring

  This study assessed the pharmacokinetics, safety, tolerability and adherence of the dapivirine vaginal ring used for 14 consecutive days by lactating women who were not breastfeeding. The research showed low concentrations of dapivirine in breast milk, indicating that daily infant exposure would also be low. Given this favorable safety profile, additional research is in development to assess the safety and drug detection of the dapivirine ring in breastfeeding mother-infant pairs in regions with higher incidence of sexually transmitted HIV infection.

  Outcomes of compulsory detention compared to community-based voluntary methadone maintenance treatment in Vietnam

  This research finds conclusive evidence that methadone maintenance treatment (MMT) is more costeffective than center-based compulsory treatment (CCT) in reducing heroin use, blood-borne virus risk behaviors, drug-related illegal behaviors and monthly drug spending. The authors recommend that policymakers consider allocation of resources for MMT treatment a higher priority and scale down CCT models.

  Safety and tolerability of maraviroc-containing regimens to prevent HIV infection in women: A phase 2 randomized trial

  This study shows that, for U.S. women at risk of HIV infection, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) regimens containing maraviroc are safe and well-tolerated, compared with the standard regimen of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine. The authors also found that no new infections occurred with the study regimen, compared with the standard regimen, but more research is needed to determine whether that outcome is because of the study drug and whether the enrolled population was lower risk than anticipated.
