Epidémiologie de l’infection à HSV-2 en Afrique subsaharienne

• Etudes séro-épidémiologiques– Devenues possibles gâce à la sérologie spécifique de type– Ouganda, Tanzanie, Zimbabwe, Afrique du Sud– Forte prévalence chez les jeunes :

• Moins de 20 ans : 20-30% • Adultes jeunes : 60-80% • Femmes plus infectées que les hommes

• Etiologies des ulcérations génitales (2001)– HSV-2 > Chancre mou > Syphilis

• Excrétion génitale asymptomatique– Très peu de données – Femmes enceintes VIH+ au Kenya : 17% de portage

• Transmission of Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 among factory workers in Ethiopa

Yenew Kebede et al. J of Infect Dis. 2004;190:365-372

• Retrospective study 1997-2002

• 1612 subjects (including 133 heterosexual couples)

• HSV2 seroprevalence at enrollment : 40.9% (female : 59.5 – male: 34.6) ; 43.4% 20-30 y

• 41 monogamous HSV2 serodiscordant couples– 12 with man HSV2 +– 29 with woman HSV2 +

• HSV2 seroincidence was:– 20.7 seroconversions /100 PY in women– 4.9 seroconversions /100 PY in men

• Majority of HSV2 + subjects did not report any episode of genital ulcer (>90%)

– symptoms are unnoticed and/or

underreported

– probable reason of the widespread dissemination of HSV2 infection

• Increasing relative prevalence of HSV2 infection among men with genital ulcers from a mining community in South Africa

D’après O’Farrell STI 1999

• Genital shedding of herpes simplex virus type 2 in childbearing-age and pregnant women living in Gabon

Ozouaki F et al. Int J of STD & AIDS,2005

• 355 subjects recruited– blood and cervicovaginal samples collected

• HSV2 seroprevalence : 65.9% increasing with age (peak within the range 35-39 y)

• Prevalence of HSV2 DNA genital shedding was 13.8% on a single sampling episode

• This high prevalence of HSV 2 shedding may be associated with high risk of HSV 2 vertical transmission to neonates

• Which in Africa may be higher than that observed in developed world due to : – high incidence of HSV2 infection– high fertility rates in African

– high HIV prevalence young women

Treatment of genital herpesold trends revisited and new directions

Treatment of primary genital herpes (primo-infection or primo-

manifestation)ACV> 10 RCTs vs PBO:

Viral shedding: 7 daysPain: 1-5 daysHealing: 3-10 days

Dosage200 mg x 5 per day or 5 mg/kg/8hrs, 7-10 daysSimilar efficacy of oral and IV ACV (valaciclovir 500

mg or 1000 mg bid could also be used if oral therapy is appropriate)

Episodic treatment of recurrent genital herpes

oral ACV 6 RCTs vs PBO: mild effect-size

Viral shedding: 1-2 daysPain: no effectHealing: 1-2 days

Other limitationsTo be administered as early as possible (should be

patient-initiated as for the other antiviral drugs)Dosage: 5 times per day for 5 days

Episodic treatment of recurrent genital herpes

VACV 500 mg bid is equivalent to ACV 200 mg 5 times daily, 5 days FCV 125 mg bid is equivalent to ACV 200 mg 5 times daily, 5 daysACV 800 mg tid, 2 days, may be usedA 3-day course of VACV 500 mg bid is equivalent to the 5-day course of VACV

Suppressive treatment of recurrent genital herpes

Daily use of an antiviral drug in order to suppress or delay time to recurrence

In patients with at least 6 recurrences/year

Guillaume JC, Lechat Ph, Chosidow O)

Immunocompetent patients, suppressive treatment of recurrent genital herpes, RCTs vs PBO

14 RCTs (6158 patients)

Global analysis

Once-daily VACV to reduce the risk

of transmission of genital herpes(Corey L et al. NEJM 2004;350:11-20)

. IC, heterosexual, monogamous couples: one with clinically symptomatic genital HSV-2 and one susceptible (n =1484)

. Partner HSV-2 + randomly assigned to VACV 500 mg OD or PBO for 8 months

. Acquisition of HSV-2: HR = 0.52 (95%CI = 0.27-0.99) (decrease in clinically symptomatic HSV-2 infection)

. Decrease in viral shedding (33%)

• 416 women screened :

– 50% HIV +

– 84% HSV2 +

• 187 HIV negative women followed up monthly (median duration 2.2 years)

• When HSV2 seroconversion was analysed as a time-dependant covariate, the RR for HIV seroconversion was 6.0 times greater among women with incident that among women with prevalent HSV2 infection

ANRS1212: ConclusionsANRS1212: Conclusions

24/05/06 - AC12 Paris 68

Despite some impact on HSV-2, episodic treatment with ACV has no measurable impact on HIV-1 replication– Too little/too short (5 days)?– Too late? (median 7 days after ulcer first noticed by woman)

– Advanced HIV disease in many women– Delayed impact? Inadequate outcome (D7?), sample size, etc?– Await results of other trials in Malawi and South Africa

– Prevention of HSV-2 reactivations perhaps more effective in controlling HSV and HIV transmissibility
