This network meta-analysis aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of "on-demand" and "daily" use of paroxetine for patients with premature ejaculation (PE). We searched PubMed, Embase and Cochrane Library from inception to October 2021 to collect randomized controlled trials, and 24 articles including 2, 308 patients were finally involved. The results indicated that paroxetine (daily or on-demand) was superior to placebo at increasing intravaginal ejaculatory latency time (IELT), and 20 mg paroxetine daily was significantly better than fluoxetine and tramadol in improving IELT. Besides, 20 mg paroxetine on-demand was less effective than 20 mg paroxetine on-demand plus phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitors (PDEI5) and tramadol monotherapy in increasing IELT. Tramadol monotherapy was more effective than paroxetine monotherapy in improving sexual satisfaction score. Although patients treated with paroxetine had more coitus/week than patients treated with placebo, it was less than patients treated with PDEI5. These findings were robust to sensitivity analyses. The common adverse events related with paroxetine were fatigue, yawning and abnormal sleep (10.96%), gastrointestinal upset (10.80%). The "on-demand" and "daily" use of paroxetine can significantly improve the clinical symptoms of patients with PE and were well tolerated. Combination therapy and tramadol monotherapy can also be used as alternative treatments.

Maintenance therapy is crucial in managing and preventing symptom relapse in gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), with continuous and on-demand therapy being the common approaches. However, maintenance therapy using potassium-competitive acid blockers (P-CABs), such as fexuprazan, remains incompletely evaluated. This single-center, single-arm, prospective cohort study enrolled individuals with weekly heartburn or acid regurgitation and confirmed erosive esophagitis.

Background: We evaluated 1-year engagement in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) care and associated factors among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in a large cohort of oral PrEP users in the Paris region, France.
Methods: We included in this analysis cisgender GBMSM enrolled in the ANRS PREVENIR cohort study from 3 May 2017 to 28 February 2019. We categorized 1-year PrEP engagement into 4 categories: high (consistent visits, attendance, and prescription refills at months 3, 6, 9, and 12), low (missed visits or no prescription refills), disengagement (PrEP discontinuation), and lost to follow-up.

Background: HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective but not widely used by men who have sex with men (MSM; 27%) in China.
Methods: In June 2023, an online cross-sectional survey with a discrete choice experiment (DCE) was distributed to PrEP-eligible MSM in China who were at least 18 years old. The DCE explored attributes of PrEP modality (daily pill, on-demand pill, injections, implants), clinical care model (same-day, 2-visit, telehealth prescription), medication pickup (clinic, community health center, pharmacy, MSM-focused community-based organization, home delivery), enhanced support (self-management, smartphone app, text reminder, anonymous peer support group), and cost.

Introduction: There are persistent race- and ethnicity-based disparities in HIV incidence among gay and bisexual men who have sex with men (GBMSM) in the United States, partially driven by inequities in distribution of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We assessed how additional modalities of PrEP beyond daily oral might affect uptake of PrEP and ongoing disparities in HIV incidence in the US.
Methods: In an online survey of GBMSM in the US, we presented participants with descriptions of each PrEP modality.

Objectives: During the COVID-19 pandemic, free on-demand testing was promoted in the US. This study was undertaken to support or refute the hypothesis that negative SARS-CoV-2 tests led to travel that exposed travelers to the virus in US states.
Methods: Data on daily trips outside households based on cell phone movement were matched by date to negative tests, positive tests, subsequent COVID-19 cases, and deaths lagged at various intervals in 49 US states during the first 16 months of the pandemic.
