Trends Analysis of Sexually Transmitted Infections Before and After Human Immunodeficiency Virus Pre-exposure Prophylaxis in the United States 2001–2022
We found significant changes in the rate of incident STIs from 2012 to 2022 and a high correlation between PrEP usage and reported cases of syphilis and gonorrhea. Given the role of PrEP in comprehensive HIV prevention in the United States, its impact on rates of STI infection should be further studied.
