Getting to Zero San Francisco: The Power of Collective Impact—and guided by data 90% fewer HIV infections 90% fewer HIV deaths Zero stigma and discrimination By 2020:
6
Where was San Francisco On Dec 1 2013? 2010: Universal ART; HIV test scale-up 2012: PrEP- DEMO 2006: HIV test w/o written consent 2011: LINCS iPrEx
7
Strategic Plan: Signature Initiatives PrEP: Expand access to pre-exposure prophylaxis for San Franciscans at-risk for HIV infection RAPID (Rapid ART Program for Individuals with new Diagnosis): Immediate linkage to care and treatment of HIV at the time of diagnosis RETENTION in HIV care STIGMA reduction interventions Committee for each initiative is developing action plan, metrics and milestones, budget

Linkage, retention, and sustained virologic suppression in San Francisco SFDPH HIV Epidemiology Annual Report 2014
10
Data Highlight the Gaps If the goal is virologic suppression, 67% is insufficient Need better, faster Linkage Need better Retention Need something to prevent HIV(-)s from getting infected by unknown HIV (+)s Need to decrease stigma, psychosocioeconomic discrimination as a barrier to care, prevention, especially among most vulnerable populations
11
Universal ART = better care, better prevention Delivering ART as early as possible after a new diagnosis of HIV: improves morbidity and mortality in all stages of infection (START INSIGHT Team NEJM 2015) in acute/recent HIV infection: limits reservoirs and hyper-infectivity (Jain et al. JID 2013; Saez-Cirion et al. VISCONTI team, PLoS Pathog. 2013) reduces transmission by 96% (HPTN052--Cohen et al. NEJM 2011) Typical interval of weeks to months between diagnosis, ART, and virologic suppression=lost opportunities Delayed or dropped linkage, retention Immunologic dysfunction Onward Transmission WHY WAIT????
12
RAPID Implementation: Overview Step I Day one New HIV+ Diagnosis Step II Same day, expedited referral Medical/psychosocial evaluation Start ART Partner Services Linkage to HIV 1° care Step III 5-7 days Follow-up with HIV 1° care Review baseline Labs Modify ART as needed The Goal of RAPID is to improve the health of newly diagnosed patients by eliminating delays in ART and access to high-quality HIV care. This means: Starting ART the same day as someone is newly diagnosed with HIV (or within 2-3 days if same-day start is impossible) Their first follow-up visit with HIV 1° care within a week of starting ART Sometimes RAPID patients will be referred to you at Step III, having already completed Steps I and II. Sometimes RAPID patients will undergo all Steps I-III or II-III at your clinic (especially if they were your patients when they were HIV-uninfected)

RAPID Pilot at SFGH: 2013-15 PHAST (Positive Health Access to Services and Treatment) Team paged with any new confirmed new HIV+ patients on SFGH campus PHAST Team paged by testing sites in SF with any new HIV+ with no/public insurance Expedited intake, counseling, insurance navigation, ART initiation at Ward 86 (UCSF HIV Clinic at SFGH) Implementation Science Question: Comparison of linkage, virologic outcomes, by era: CD4-guided ART (2006-9) Universal ART (2010-13) RAPID (immediate ART) (7/13-12/14)

561 Referral1 st Clinic Visit 1 st PCP Visit ART Prescribed Viral load suppressed Engagement Timeline, SFGH CD4-guided (2006-9) Universal (2010-3) RAPID 13237 Pilcher, IAS 2015

RAPID Time to VL suppression by ART initiation strategy: SFGH 2006-2014 RAPID vs. universal ART P<0.001 Universal ART CD4-guided ART Proportion <200 copies Pilcher, IAS 2015
16
Qualitative Lessons from Interviews with RAPID Pilot Team Members: Keys to Success 1.Single point-of-contact for referrals activates the team (PHAST Pager) 2.Committed team is essential (Counseling, Benefits Navigation, Clinical) 3.Minimize handoffs: Every handoff is a warm handoff 4.Talk about Care first, Insurance later 5.Have a plan for medication access Emergency ADAP Presumptive Medi-Cal Pharma Patient Assistance Cards 6.Check in with patient in the 1-2 days after he/she leaves the appointment
17
Taking ART Citywide Develop a RAPID Protocol Develop a capacity-building strategy Clinic-wide education Sessions Public Health Detailing of Individual Clinicians, with RAPID Guide for Providers Target High Prevalence Testing Sites + populations at high risk Target HIV Clinics where newly HIV+ persons are linked (referral sites) High volume sites Sites serving populations at high risk of non-linkage, non-suppression Develop an Evaluation Plan

19
The Goal: Test, Treat, Retain, and PrEP I. Universal, accessible HIV/STI testing -Frequency determined by risk -Testing for acute infection in high-risk populations/settings II. Immediate ART Eliminate OIs/AIDS ↓ nonAIDS complications ↓ transmission to partners Retention in care to maintain suppression IF(+) IF (-) III. COMBINATION PREVENTION Condoms and Risk Reduction coaching Referrals for Substance use treatment, Mental health care PEP for occasional exposures PrEP for Pts with elevated risk: Inconsistent condom use Multiple partners/non-monogamous steady partnerships Serodiscordant partners including periconception h/o Rectal STIs, PEP
