DĂ©fis de la prise en charge des condylomes acuminĂ©s en stratĂ©gie avancĂ©e dans une cohorte de travailleuses du sexe en CĂŽte dâIvoire : leçons apprises dans la cohorte ANRS 12381 Princesse
International audienceObjectifsLes condylomes acuminĂ©s rĂ©sultent dâune infection du papillomavirus humain et peuvent Ă©voluer vers des formes graves comme des cancers. Du fait de leurs pratiques, les travailleuses du sexe (TS) y sont particuliĂšrement exposĂ©es. Nous dĂ©crivons ici les dĂ©fis dâune prise en charge des condylomes en stratĂ©gie avancĂ©e.MatĂ©riels et MĂ©thodesLe projet Princesse est une cohorte interventionnelle avec une offre de soins Ă©largies en santĂ© sexuelle, incluant un dĂ©pistage et une prise en charge des infections sexuellement transmissibles (IST), pour des TS de â„ 18 ans dans la rĂ©gion de San Pedro, CĂŽte dâIvoire. Un suivi trimestriel est proposĂ©, disponible Ă la fois sur sites prostitutionnels via une clinique mobile et Ă la clinique fixe dâAprosam Ă San Pedro.RĂ©sultatsSur 381 TS suivies entre 11/2019 et 11/2020, 11 prĂ©sentaient des condylomes Ă lâinclusion ou lors dâune visite de suivi. Dix prĂ©sentaient des condylomes trĂšs dĂ©veloppĂ©s (multiples, volumineux, kĂ©ratosiques). Toutes prĂ©sentaient des condylomes au niveau pubien et vaginal. Deux TS prĂ©sentaient en plus des condylomes anaux.LâĂąge des patientes variait entre 19 et 42 ans. LâanciennetĂ© dans le travail du sexe Ă©tait variable (entre 1 et 17 ans), mais la majoritĂ© (10) travaillait dans des maisons closes, signe dâun nombre Ă©levĂ© de clients.Une participante a Ă©tĂ© vue en clinique fixe. Elle a bĂ©nĂ©ficiĂ© dâun traitement local Ă base de podophyllotoxine pour Ă©viter de multiples cicatrices, suivi dâune cryothĂ©rapie.Les dix autres cas ont Ă©tĂ© diagnostiquĂ©s en clinique mobile qui, pour des raisons logistiques, ne dispose pas dâun appareil de cryothĂ©rapie. Les participantes vues en cliniques mobiles ont Ă©tĂ© rĂ©fĂ©rĂ©es vers laclinique fixe pour une prise en charge adĂ©quate. Ă ce jour, aucune ne sây est encore prĂ©sentĂ©e, malgrĂ© des relances et le constat dâune extension du nombre de condylomes lors de visites de suivi.La clinique mobile disposant dâun appareil portatif de thermoablation pour la prise en charge des dysplasies du col (un dĂ©pistage annuel Ă©tant inclus), une thermoablation des condylomes a Ă©tĂ© essayĂ©e chez 6 TS pour lesquelles les condylomes Ă©taient de bonne taille. En effet, si les condylomes sont plus petits que la sonde dâablation, il y a un risque dâabimer des tissus sains. Aucun effet nâa Ă©tĂ© constatĂ© immĂ©diatement aprĂšs la pose de la sonde, ni au cours des visites de suivi. Une TS sâest plainte de douleurs et de brĂ»lures persistantes au bout de deux semaines.ConclusionLes TS sont exposĂ©es aux condylomes ano-gĂ©nitaux et le diagnostic survient Ă un stade avancĂ©. Câest une population difficile Ă engager dans les soins et le rĂ©fĂ©rencement vers une clinique fixe ne fonctionne pas. Une solution de prise en charge sur site est donc essentielle. Les appareils de cryothĂ©rapie sont peu adaptĂ©s pour un camion mobile. La thermoablation ne fonctionne pas sur les condylomes. LâarrivĂ©e dâappareil portatif dâĂ©lectrocoagulation pourrait ĂȘtre une solution. Elle sera testĂ©e en 2022 dans Princesse
PrĂ©valence et incidence des infections sexuellement transmissibles dans une cohorte de travailleuses du sexe Ă San Pedro, CĂŽte dâIvoire (Projet ANRS 12381 Princesse)
International audienceObjectifsEstimer la prĂ©valence et lâincidence des infections sexuellement transmissibles (IST) chez des travailleuses du sexe (TS) en CĂŽte dâIvoireMatĂ©riels et MĂ©thodesLe projet ANRS 12381 Princesse est une cohorte interventionnelle mono-bras, dont les inclusions ont dĂ©butĂ© le 26/11/2019 visant Ă Ă©valuer une offre de soins globale et communautaire auprĂšs des TS de â„ 18 ans dans la rĂ©gion de San Pedro. Lâoffre de soins comprend un dĂ©pistage syndromique trimestriel des IST, ainsi que des prĂ©lĂšvements vaginaux et anaux Ă la recherche de chlamydia trachomatis (CT) et de neisseria gonorrhĂ©e (NG) par polymerase chain reaction (PCR) rĂ©alisĂ©s Ă M0, M12 et M24. A ces mĂȘmes visites, la recherche de lĂ©sions dysplasiques et/ou prĂ©cancĂ©reuses du col de lâutĂ©rus est effectuĂ©e par inspection visuelle aprĂšs application dâacide acĂ©tique et de Lugol. En cas de diagnostic positif, les TS sont prises en charge selon lâalgorithme national ou rĂ©fĂ©rĂ©es en cas de complications. Nous dĂ©crivons ici i) les caractĂ©ristiques des lĂ©sions du col ainsi que la prĂ©valence des IST (syndromiques et par PCR) et des symptĂŽmes associĂ©s et ii) lâincidence des IST syndromiques au cours du suivi.RĂ©sultatsAu 27/11 2021, 372 TS Ă©taient incluses.

A lâinclusion, 4,7% [Intervalle de confiance Ă 95% : 2,8- 7,5] prĂ©sentaient des lĂ©sions du col avec 3,5% de leucoplasies et 2,2% de zone de jonction du col hĂ©morragique. La prĂ©valence des IST syndromiques Ă©tait de 17,2% [13,0 - 22,6] ; les signes cliniques associĂ©s Ă©taient des Ă©coulement vaginaux (13,7%), des ulcĂ©rations vaginales (2,1%), des douleurs abdominales basses (4,3%) et lâinflammation du col de lâutĂ©rus (2,6%). Les prĂ©valences de CT et de NG ano-vaginales Ă©taient respectivement de 8,7% [6,2- 12,1], et 10.4% [7,6- 13,9] ; la prĂ©sence de signes cliniques a Ă©tĂ© retrouvĂ©e chez 2,4% des TS diagnostiquĂ©e positives au CT et chez 12,2% chez celles positives Ă NG. La majoritĂ© des TS avec une IST syndromique nâavaient pas dâinfection Ă CT ni Ă NG.Au cours du suivi, 82 cas dâIST syndromiques ont Ă©tĂ© observĂ©s pour 209 personnes-annĂ©e, soit une incidence de 39,1% [31,1- 49,0].

Prevalence and incidence of sexually transmitted infections in a cohort of female sex workers in San Pedro, CĂŽte d'Ivoire (ANRS 12381 PRINCESSE)
BACKGROUND: The ANRS 12381 PRINCESSE study is an interventional single-arm cohort. Participants recruitment started in November 2019. The study aimed to evaluate a comprehensive and community-based care offer among FSWs aged '„ 18 years in the San Pedro area.METHODS: Care services included quarterly syndromic screening for STIs, as well as vaginal and anal swabs for the screening of chlamydia trachomatis (CT) and neisseria gonorrhoea (NG) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at M0, M12 and M24. At the same visits, identification of dysplasias and precancerous lesions of the cervix was performed by visual inspection after applying acetic acid and Lugol's iodine. STIs were managed according to the national algorithm. We describe(i) the characteristics of cervical lesions as well as the prevalence of STIs (syndromic and PCR) and associated symptoms and(ii) the incidence of syndromic STIs during follow-up.RESULTS: In November 2021, 372 FSWs were included. The median age was 29 years, 34% had never been to school, 56% were Ivorian, and the median duration of sex work was 2 years. At inclusion, 4.7% [95% confidence interval: 2.8-7.5] had cervical lesions with 3.5% leukoplakia and 2.2% haemorrhagic cervical junction zone. The prevalence of syndromic STIs was 17.2% [13.0-22.6]; associated clinical signs were vaginal discharge (13.7%), vaginal ulceration (2.1%), lower abdominal pain (4.3%) and cervical inflammation (2.6%). The prevalence of anovaginal CT and NG were 8.7% [6.2- 12.1] and 10.4% [7.6- 13.9], respectively; clinical signs were found in 2.4% of CT-positive and 12.2% of NG-positive FSWs. Most FSWs with syndromic STIs did not have CT or NG infection. During the follow-up, 82 cases of syndromic STIs were observed per 209 person-years, i.e. an incidence of 39.1% [31.1- 49.0]. PCR data at M12 and M24 are being consolidated and will allow estimating the incidence of CT and NG.CONCLUSIONS: A high prevalence and incidence of syndromic STIs were observed among FSWs, highlighting the importance and the interest of a regular follow-up. The results also showed the predominantly asymptomatic nature of STIs discovered by PCR in this at-risk population and, therefore, the importance of coupling syndromic screening and PCR analyses
Delays to PrEP initiation among female sex workers in CĂŽte d'Ivoire (ANRS 12381 PRINCESSE project)
BACKGROUND: To describe the delays to initiation of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among female sex workers (FSW) in CĂŽte d''Ivoire.
METHODS: The ANRS 12381 PRINCESSE project is a single-arm interventional cohort aiming to evaluate the implementation of a comprehensive and community-based care offer among FSW aged '„18 years in the San Pedro region since end-2019, through a mobile clinic operating on 10 prostitution sites (visited every two weeks). PrEP is offered to all HIV-positive FSW after verifying the creatinine level (results valid for one month). We described the time between FSW's interest for PrEP and PrEP initiation (or end of follow-up) among HIV- and hepatitis B virus-negative (HBsAg-) FSW included until end-October 2021. The probability of PrEP initiation since PrEP interest is described through a Kaplan-Meier curve censored on end-November 2021 (an analysis censored at the date of the last visit was also conducted).
RESULTS: Of the 362 FSW included in the PRINCESSE cohort, 302 were HIV-/AgHBs-, and for 296 of them, PrEP was presented by medical staff (95.2% at inclusion). In total, 292 FSW expressed PrEP interest, and 192 (65.8%) initiated PrEP: 18 on the same day (the biological test having been performed during a previous visit), 148 during the next visit (median time since interest: 3 weeks [Inter-Quartile Range: 2-6]) and 26 during a subsequent visit (median time: 20 weeks [9-36]). The probability of PrEP initiation after PrEP interest was 39.0% at 1 month and 56.6% at 3 months (censoring on the date of the last visit, these proportions were 50.7% and 74.6%, respectively). Among the 100 FSW who did not initiate PrEP despite expressing interest, 68 were never seen again in the project; 4 declared that they were no longer interested in PrEP (median time since interest: 12 weeks [10-19]), 1 was tested HIV+ (delay of 2 weeks), and 27 were seen >1 month later (their biological tests were no longer valid).
CONCLUSIONS: Despite strong PrEP interest among FSW, PrEP initiation remained suboptimal. Barriers to PrEP initiation should be more explored and considered to find appropriate solutions to make PrEP effective among this specific key population

Retards et obstacles Ă lâinitiation de la PrEP orale chez les travailleuses du sexe en CĂŽte dâIvoire (projet ANRS 12381 PRINCESSE)
Objectifs
DĂ©crire les retards et obstacles Ă lâinitiation de la prophylaxie pre-exposition (PrEP) orale des travailleuses du sexe (TS) en CĂŽte dâIvoire.
Matériels et Méthodes
Le projet ANRS 12381 PRINCESSE est une cohorte interventionnelle mono-bras, dont les inclusions ont dĂ©butĂ© le 26/11/2019, qui vise Ă Ă©valuer la mise en oeuvre dâune offre de soins globale et communautaire auprĂšs des TS de â„18 ans dans la rĂ©gion de San Pedro. Il sâorganise autour dâune clinique mobile se dĂ©plaçant sur 10 sites prostitutionnels (chaque site Ă©tant visitĂ© toutes les deux semaines) et dâune clinique fixe. La PrEP est proposĂ©e Ă toutes les TS VIH- ; lâinitiation est possible aprĂšs vĂ©rification du taux de crĂ©atinine (dĂ©terminĂ© via un bilan biologique ; rĂ©sultats valables un mois). Lâanalyse prĂ©sentĂ©e se limite aux TS VIH- et sĂ©ronĂ©gatives au virus de lâhĂ©patite B (AgHBs-) incluses jusquâau 30/09/21, et dĂ©crit ce quâil sâest passĂ© entre lâintĂ©rĂȘt exprimĂ© pour la PrEP et la prescription de la PrEP (ou la fin de suivi). La probabilitĂ© dâinitiation de la PrEP aprĂšs avoir exprimĂ© son intĂ©rĂȘt est dĂ©crite via une courbe de Kaplan-Meier censurĂ©e au 23/11/21 (une analyse censurĂ©e Ă la date de derniĂšre visite a aussi Ă©tĂ© conduite).
RĂ©sultats
Parmi les 362 TS étaient incluses dans la cohorte PRINCESSE, 302 étaient VIH-/AgHBs-. Sur les 296 TS à qui la PrEP a été présentée
(95,2% Ă lâinclusion), 292 se sont dĂ©clarĂ©es intĂ©ressĂ©es (99,7% le jour mĂȘme). Parmi elles, 192 (65,8% des TS intĂ©ressĂ©es) ont reçu une
prescription de PrEP : 18 le jour mĂȘme de lâintĂ©rĂȘt exprimĂ© (le bilan biologique ayant Ă©tĂ© rĂ©alisĂ© lors dâune prĂ©cĂ©dente visite), 148 lors de la visite suivante (dĂ©lai mĂ©dian depuis lâintĂ©rĂȘt : 3 semaines [Intervalle Inter-Quartile : 2-6]) et 26 lors dâune visite ultĂ©rieure (dĂ©lai mĂ©dian : 20 semaines [9-36], soit parce quâelles nâĂ©taient temporairement plus intĂ©ressĂ©es (n=3), soit parce quâelles sont revenues tardivement). Au final, la probabilitĂ© de prescription de la PrEP aprĂšs avoir exprimĂ© son intĂ©rĂȘt est de 39,0% Ă 1 mois et de 56,6% Ă 3 mois (en censurant sur la date de derniĂšre visite, ces proportions sont respectivement de 50,7% et 74,6%). Parmi les 100 TS qui nâont pas initiĂ© la PrEP malgrĂ© un intĂ©rĂȘt exprimĂ©, 68 nâont jamais Ă©tĂ© revues dans le projet ; parmi les 32 TS qui sont revenues Ă au moins une deuxiĂšme visite suivant leur intĂ©rĂȘt pour la PrEP, 4 ont dĂ©clarĂ© ne plus ĂȘtre intĂ©ressĂ©es par la PrEP (dĂ©lai mĂ©dian depuis lâintĂ©rĂȘt : 12 semaines [10-19]), 1 a Ă©tĂ© dĂ©pistĂ©e VIH+ (dĂ©lai de 2 semaines) et 27 sont revenues plus dâun mois aprĂšs (leur bilan biologique nâĂ©tait plus valable).
Conclusion
MalgrĂ© un fort intĂ©rĂȘt exprimĂ© pour la PrEP, son initiation reste sous-optimale parmi les TS de PRINCESSE. Les premiĂšres analyses
exploratoires et discussions avec les Ă©quipes terrain suggĂšrent plusieurs obstacles (mobilitĂ© des TS, intĂ©rĂȘt mal perçu pour la PrEP, lourdeur du suivi, fidĂ©litĂ© des sorties de la clinique mobile), et confirment la nĂ©cessitĂ© de trouver des solutions adaptĂ©es pour rendre la PrEP effective chez les TS

PrĂ©valence et incidence des infections sexuellement transmissibles dans une cohorte de travailleuses du sexe Ă San Pedro, CĂŽte dâIvoire (Projet ANRS 12381 Princesse)
Objectif : Estimer la prĂ©valence et lâincidence des infections sexuellement transmissibles (IST) chez des travailleuses du sexe (TS) en CĂŽte dâIvoire
MĂ©thodes : Le projet ANRS 12381 Princesse est une cohorte interventionnelle mono-bras, dont les inclusions ont dĂ©butĂ© le 26/11/2019, visant Ă Ă©valuer une offre de soins globale et communautaire auprĂšs des TS de â„18 ans dans la rĂ©gion de San Pedro. Lâoffre de soins comprend un dĂ©pistage syndromique trimestriel des IST, ainsi que des prĂ©lĂšvements vaginaux et anaux Ă la recherche de chlamydia trachomatis (CT) et de neisseria gonorrhĂ©e (NG) par polymerase chain reaction (PCR) rĂ©alisĂ©s Ă M0 (inclusion), M12 et M24. A ces mĂȘmes visites, la recherche de lĂ©sions dysplasiques et/ou prĂ©cancĂ©reuses du col de lâutĂ©rus est effectuĂ©e par inspection visuelle aprĂšs application de lâacide acĂ©tique et de lugol. En cas de diagnostic positif, les TS sont prises en charge selon lâalgorithme national ou rĂ©fĂ©rĂ©es en cas de complications. Nous dĂ©crivons ici i) les caractĂ©ristiques des lĂ©sions du col ainsi que la prĂ©valence des IST (syndromiques et par PCR) et des symptĂŽmes associĂ©s Ă lâinclusion, et ii) lâincidence des IST syndromiques au cours du suivi.
RĂ©sultats : Au 27/11 2021, 372 TS Ă©taient incluses dans la cohorte Princesse. LâĂąge mĂ©dian Ă©tait de 29 ans [Intervalle interquartile (IIQ) : 24â35], 125 (33,6%) nâavaient jamais Ă©tĂ© scolarisĂ©es, 210 (56,0%) Ă©taient des ivoiriennes, et la durĂ©e mĂ©diane dâactivitĂ© de travail du sexe Ă©tait de 2 ans (IIQ= 0-5). A lâinclusion, 4,7% (Intervalle de confiance Ă 95% (IC95) [2,8-7,5]) prĂ©sentaient des lĂ©sions du col avec 3,5% de leucoplasies et 2,2% de zone de jonction du col hĂ©morragique. La prĂ©valence des IST syndromiques Ă©tait de 17,2% (IC95 [13,0-22,6]) ; les signes cliniques associĂ©es Ă©taient des Ă©coulement vaginaux (13,7%), des ulcĂ©rations vaginales (2,1%), des douleurs abdominales basses (4,3%) et lâinflammation du col de lâutĂ©rus (2,6%). Les prĂ©valences de CT et de NG ano-vaginales Ă©taient respectivement de 8,7% (IC95 [6,2-12,1]), et 10,4% [IC95[7,6-13,9]) ; la prĂ©sence des signes cliniques a Ă©tĂ© retrouvĂ©e chez 2,4% des TS diagnostiquĂ©e positives au CT et chez 12,2% chez celles positives Ă NG. La majoritĂ© des TS avec une IST syndromique nâavaient pas dâinfection Ă CT ni de NG.
Au cours du suivi, 82 cas dâIST syndromiques ont Ă©tĂ© observĂ©s pour 209 personnes-annĂ©e (PA), soit une incidence de 39,1% PA (IC95 [31,1-49,0]). Les donnĂ©es Ă M12 et M 24 sont en cours de consolidation et permettront lâestimation des incidences respectives de CT et NG dĂ©but 2022.
Conclusion : Cette Ă©tude montre une prĂ©valence Ă©levĂ©e et une forte incidence des IST syndromiques parmi les TS de la cohorte Princesse, soulignant lâimportance et lâintĂ©rĂȘt dâun suivi rĂ©gulier et une intensification des mesures de prĂ©vention traditionnelles (prĂ©servatifs â gels â sensibilisation) afin de rĂ©duire les IST. Les rĂ©sultats mettent Ă©galement en Ă©vidence le caractĂšre majoritairement asymptomatique des IST dĂ©couvertes par PCR dans cette population Ă risque, et donc lâimportance de coupler le dĂ©pistage syndromique et les analyses de PCR
Incidence of HIV infection and associated factors among female sex workers in CĂŽte dâIvoire, results of the ANRS 12361 PrEP-CI study using recent infection assays
International audienceBackground: This study aimed to estimate, using an HIV Recent Infection Testing Algorithm (RITA), the HIV incidence and its associated factors among female sex workers (FSW) in CĂŽte dâIvoire. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2016â2017 in Abidjan and San Pedroâs region among FSW aged â„ 18 years. In addition, a sociodemographic questionnaire, HIV screening was carried out by two rapid tests. In the event of a positive result, a dried blood spot sample was taken to determine, using a RITA adapted to the Ivorian context, if it was a recent HIV infection. Results: A total of 1000 FSW were surveyed with a median age of 25 years (interquartile range: 21â29 years). 39 (3.9%) tested positive for HIV. The incidence of HIV was estimated to be 2.3 per 100 person-years, with higher incidence rates among those 24 years old or less (3.0% vs. 1.9%), non-Ivorian FSW (3.2% vs. 1.9%) and those with the lowest education level (4.6% in FSW who never went to school vs. 2.6%). The incidence seemed to be associated with the sex work practice conditions: higher incidence among FSW whose usual price was less than 3.50$ (4.3% vs.1.0%), FSW who had a larger number of clients on the last day of work (6.1% in those with 7 clients or more vs. 1.8%), FSW who reported not always using condoms with their clients (8.5% vs. 1.5%) and FSW who reported agreeing to sex without a condom in exchange for a large sum of money (10.1% vs. 1.2%). Conclusion: This study confirms that FSW remain highly exposed to HIV infection. Exposure to HIV is also clearly associated with certain sex-work factors and the material conditions of sex work. Efforts in the fight against HIV infection must be intensified to reduce new infections among FSW
