High syphilis incidence among PrEP‐adherent men who have sex with men and transgender women in Peru
Syphilis incidence is high among PrEP-adherent MSM/TW, those reporting receptive-CAS and among TW. Health systems implementing PrEP should strengthen existing STI prevention strategies and incorporate new ones, like Doxy-PEP for PrEP-adherent MSM, TW and individuals engaging in receptive-CAS. MPR may be a tool to identify PrEP users at risk for syphilis.
