Regression-based risk scores using sociodemographic and sexual behaviour data do not predict asymptomatic sexually transmitted infections among HIV PrEP users
Using routinely available demographic and behavioural data, it was not possible to construct a well-performing risk score to identify individuals at high risk of STIs diagnosed during routine asymptomatic screening. Other factors, methods or ways to analyse data may be needed to increase predictive capacity for STI risk scores.
