PrEP protocol for urgent care, STI, and telemedicine and peer support in mental health

Abstract

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a lifesaving HIV prevention medication. Critics have shared their concerns for oral PrEP as it may be promoting unprotected sex among PrEP users, and indirectly may cause a new surge of sexual transmitted infections (STIs). This study suggests that information is inconclusive at this time.

Should pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) services be blamed for the increased rate of sexual transmitted infections?

Critics have shared their concerns for oral PrEP as it may be promoting unprotected sex among PrEP users, and indirectly may cause a new surge of sexual transmitted infections (STIs).
