Increase in infections after ending COVID-19 lockdown measures in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Objective: Various European countries noted increasing (Ng) positivity among cis-gender women and heterosexual men. We assessed changes over time in Ng among men who exclusively have sex with men (MSM), men who exclusively have sex with women (MSW), men who have sex with men and women (MSMW), women and transgender and gender diverse people (TGP).

Methods: We analysed data collected between 2018 and 2023 at the Centre for Sexual Health, Amsterdam.

[Sexual behaviour and incidence of sexually transmitted infections among men who have sex with men (MSM) using daily and event-driven pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP): Four-year follow-up of the Amsterdam PrEP (AMPrEP) demonstration project cohort].

Objective: HIV can be effectively prevented by oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). When PrEP was introduced, there was apprehension that condom use would decrease and STIs would increase. The purpose of this study was to investigate sexual behaviour and STI incidence among PrEP users.

Outcomes of a policy to prioritize populations with expected healthcare barriers for subsidized preexposure prophylaxis care in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Objective: The Dutch HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) pilot provided subsidized PrEP care to maximum 2900 individuals at a time in Amsterdam. Populations with expected barriers to accessing PrEP elsewhere were prioritized for program inclusion. We evaluated their prior sexual health service engagement and PrEP need.

Impact of Varying Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Programs on HIV and Neisseria gonorrhoeae Transmission Among MSM in the Netherlands: A Modeling Study.

Background: In 2019, a 5-year pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) program started in the Netherlands, in which up to 8500 men who have sex with men (MSM) can obtain PrEP and 3-monthly consultations with HIV/STI testing.

Setting: We assessed the impact of the PrEP program on transmission of HIV and Neisseria gonorrhea (NG) among MSM in the Netherlands and examined prospective variations of the program after 2024.

Methods: We used an agent-based model to estimate the effect of the PrEP program.

Assessing the HIV care continuum among transgender women during 11 years of follow-up: results from the Netherlands' ATHENA observational cohort.

Introduction: Transgender women are at increased risk of acquiring HIV. Earlier studies reported lower retention in HIV care, antiretroviral therapy uptake, adherence and viral suppression. We assessed the stages of the HIV care continuum of transgender women in the Netherlands over an 11-year period.
