1495. Incidence of Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in Patients on Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP)

Abstract: BackgroundPre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective method for preventing HIV transmission among at-risk patients. There is limited and conflicting data regarding the risk of other STIs following PrEP initiation. The objective of this study was to compare the incidence of STIs before and during PrEP therapy.MethodsA retrospective observational study of patients seeking PrEP therapy at an inner-city clinic in Newark, New Jersey, between May 1, 2016 and March 30, 2018.
