Truvada and the truth: is HIV prevention propelling the STI epidemic?

Several recent studies have linked PrEP with a modest rise in STIs. Traeger’s team analyzed eight studies with 4,400 participants and found that starting Truvada for prevention was associated with a 24% increase in such diagnoses. The US study presented in Amsterdam only found one statistically significant STI-related shift in the cohort: after men stopped PrEP, the diagnosis rate for rectal chlamydia or gonorrhea infections fell by 80%.
