Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the effect of different PrEP drugs (FTC-TDF and FTC-TAF), doses and timing of doses on p24 antigen level in resected foreskin tissue following HIV exposure ex vivo challenge.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

1. Investigate the timing and dose of FTC-TDF and FTC-TAF as oral PrEP and in vitro PEP (applied directly to removed foreskin tissue) required to prevent ex vivo HIV infection in foreskin tissue and blood using the explant model
2. Determine blood, rectal fluid and foreskin tissue concentrations of FTC, TFV, TAF and their active metabolites that are required for ex vivo HIV protection
3. Evaluate inflammation, cellular activation, foreskin mucosal integrity, gene expression and microbiome in foreskin tissue following oral in vivo PrEP and in vitro PEP
4. Evaluate the efficacy of in vitro post exposure dosing with PrEP in protection against ex vivo HIV infection using the explant model
5. To investigate sexual behaviour, PrEP acceptability and feedback on HIV prevention trials implementation

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

Participants must satisfy all the following criteria within 21 days prior to their circumcision visit:

1. Clinically eligible for either forceps guided, or dorsal slit circumcision
2. The ability to understand and sign a written informed consent form by participant (and participant's legal guardian if younger than 18 years) prior to participation in any study procedures and to comply with all trial requirements
3. Male sex at birth
4. Age 13- 24 years
5. Haemoglobin \>9g/dL
6. Weight \>35Kg
7. Two negative rapid HIV antibody tests results (manufactured by different companies), dating from 21 days or less prior to VMMC
8. Two locator information details (including physical address, telephone contacts, email) for contacting of either patient or their parent

Exclusion Criteria

1. Any significant acute or chronic medical illness and current therapy that in the opinion of the site investigator would preclude receipt either of investigational products, or VMMC
2. Any evidence that participant is not suitable for VMMC
