ANRS Prevenir cohort
HIV prevention in the Paris Region
Last updated on 06 August 2024
What is the ANRS Prévenir cohort?
- The ANRS Prévenir cohort is a study being carried out in the Île-de-France region aimed at preventing new HIV infections through the use of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), which consists, for people not infected with the virus, of daily preventive use of treatments (antiretrovirals) to prevent the acquisition of HIV.
- The study, which began in May 2017, is being conducted by Prof. Jean-Michel Molina’s team (from the infectious and tropical diseases department at Saint-Louis and Lariboisière hospitals, AP-HP and Université Paris Cité), in partnership with the AIDES association.
- The cohort is funded by ANRS MIE and Sidaction.
What is the aim of the cohort?
The main objective of the cohort is to significantly reduce the number of new HIV infections in the region by facilitating access to PrEP, a strategy for preventing HIV infection, for high-risk populations.
To achieve this, the cohort recruited participants who were not infected with HIV but were at high risk of contracting the virus. A total of 3,057 HIV-negative volunteer participants at high risk of HIV infection were included.
The PrEP administered is the antiretroviral treatment combination Tenofovir/emtricitabine TDF/FTC, in accordance with the indications and conditions of use defined by the French Marketing Authorisation (MA), the French National Recommendations and the European MA for medicines.

The ANRS Prévenir cohort is essential to the development of effective public health policies, making it possible to curb the spread of HIV in France and to support the most vulnerable populations with appropriate and accessible means of prevention.
Latest project news
Several studies have been set up as part of the ANRS Prévenir research programme and major publications have been produced based on the cohort:
- The ANRS-Prévenir study published in 2022, which showed that on-demand PrEP was as effective as continuous PrEP, with a low incidence of HIV-1 on PrEP that did not differ between participants using daily PrEP and those using on-demand PrEP.
The ANRS DOXYVAC trial, conducted as part of the PREVENIR cohort, demonstrated the post-exposure efficacy of an antibiotic, doxycycline, in reducing the occurrence of STIs (see press release below)
