<h3>Importance</h3> Emerging evidence suggests that risk of bacterial sexually transmitted infections (STIs) increases among gay and bisexual men following initiation HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). <h3>Objective</h3> To describe STI incidence behavioral factors a cohort predominantly who use PrEP, to explore changes in PrEP commencement. <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> The Pre-exposure Prophylaxis Expanded (PrEPX) Study, multisite, open-label intervention study, was nested within...
New biomedical prevention interventions make the control or elimination of some blood-borne viruses (BBVs) and sexually transmissible infections (STIs) increasingly feasible. In response, World Health Organization governments around world have established targets associated timelines. To monitor progress toward such targets, enhanced systems data collection are required.

Background: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is the use of HIV anti-retroviral therapy to prevent transmission in people at high risk acquisition. PrEP highly efficacious when taken either daily, or an on-demand schedule. In Australia co-formulated tenofovir-emtricitabine registered for daily PrEP, however, this co-formulation not listed yet on national subsidized medicines list. We describe a study protocol that aims demonstrate if provision up 3800 individuals Victoria, reduces incidence...

This study sought explore associations gender health-related life...
Abstract Peer support from social networks of gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with (GBMSM) has been recognised as a critical driver engagement HIV prevention. Using data an online cross-sectional survey 1,032 GBMSM aged 18 or over in Australia, latent class analysis was conducted to categorise participants based on support, LGBTQ + community involvement, gay people. Comparisons between classes were assessed using multivariable multinomial logistic regression. Participants allocated...

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection has been reported among gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with (GBM) globally including GBM human immunodeficiency (HIV) HIV-negative GBM, particularly those using HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP). In Australia, HCV direct-acting antiviral treatment (DAA) was government-funded from 2016. Large implementation studies of PrEP also began in We examined incidence to assess whether changed since 2015.Data were drawn the Australian Collaboration for...
