BackgroundPre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) effectively prevents HIV, but its association with sexually transmitted infections (STIs) has raised concerns about risk compensation, potentially impacting the expansion of PrEP programmes.AimWe examined the relationship between PrEP and the incidence of chlamydia, gonorrhoea and syphilis.MethodsIn this prospective cohort study, we compared STI rates before and after PrEP initiation among users in the capital region of Denmark (2019-2022), calculating incidence rate ratios adjusted for age and testing frequency (aIRR).

April 2024
Department of Primary Health Care and General Practice, University of Otago, Wellington, Wellington South, New Zealand.
Background: Partner notification is a vital part of sexually transmitted infection (STI) control but evidence suggests that its practice in Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ) is inconsistent. This study sought to explore barriers to partner notification for STIs, identify areas for improvement and draw on lessons learnt from Covid-19.
Methods: Semi-structured interviews with key informants working in primary care, sexual health, public health, management, and research were undertaken between December 2021 and March 2022.
