Association of HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Use With HIV Incidence Among Men Who Have Sex With Men in China

“…[8][9][10] However, without PrEP nonusers as controls, whether the observed low HIV incidence was due to participants' low HIV risk or PrEP effectiveness was unclear. Recently, a study from Africa 11 compared HIV incidence among D-PrEP and ED-PrEP users with that of historical controls. To our knowledge, no study has included a parallel group of PrEP nonusers.…”

Oral PrEP costs may go down as implementation efficiencies are identified, and its cost-effectiveness will also increase if, as was demonstrated in the SEARCH and other studies, 31 , 47 , 48 , 49 users correctly identify periods when they are at higher risk and use the intervention during these periods. 50 Despite these limitations, the overall trends identified in this study of three sub-Saharan African countries with different epidemic characteristics should be applicable to other sub-Saharan African countries with generalized HIV epidemics.…”
