Emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [FTC-TDF] is a daily oral medication taken by HIV-negative individuals for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection. A higher incidence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among PrEP users has been reported compared to STI incidence before PrEP use. Asymptomatic incident STI rates were investigated among 78 patients presenting for PrEP in Honolulu, Hawai'i, from April 2018 to May 2019. Testing for oropharyngeal gonorrhea, urethral gonorrhea and chlamydia, rectal gonorrhea and chlamydia, and syphilis was performed. Incident STI percentages were calculated at each follow-up visit. Ninety-seven percent of patients were men who have sex with men (MSM). Forty-seven percent of patients had follow-up data 6 months after initiation and 28% after 1 year. Thirty-two percent of patients self-reported an STI before initiating PrEP. More than half reported anonymous partners. There were 35 positive STI tests during the study period, and 25% of patients had one or more positive tests during this time. At initiation, 17% of patients were found to have an STI, followed by 16% at 3 months, 14% at 6 months, 8% at 9 months, and 5% at 12 months. At all visits, chlamydia was the most common STI detected; at 6 months, 18% of all rectal tests were positive for chlamydia. There were inconsistent condom use and high STI rates from screening during PrEP initiation and follow-up, offering an opportunity to identify asymptomatic STIs in this population. This study is the first report in Hawai'i of STI rates among PrEP users.
恩曲他滨/替诺福韦二吡呋酯[FTC-TDF]是一种每日口服药物,用于 HIV 阴性个体进行暴露前预防(PrEP),以预防人类免疫缺陷病毒(HIV)感染。与 PrEP 使用前的性传播感染(STI)发生率相比,PrEP 使用者的 STI 发生率更高。本研究调查了 2018 年 4 月至 2019 年 5 月期间在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁接受 PrEP 的 78 名患者中无症状性 STI 的发生率。对咽淋病、尿道淋病和衣原体、直肠淋病和衣原体以及梅毒进行了检测。在每次随访时计算了新发 STI 的百分比。97%的患者为男男性行为者(MSM)。47%的患者在开始 PrEP 后 6 个月和 28%在 1 年后有随访数据。32%的患者在开始 PrEP 前自我报告有 STI。超过一半的人报告有匿名性伴侣。研究期间有 35 次阳性 STI 检测,在此期间,25%的患者有一次或多次阳性检测。在开始时,发现 17%的患者有 STI,随后在 3 个月时为 16%,6 个月时为 14%,9 个月时为 8%,12 个月时为 5%。在所有就诊时,衣原体是最常见的 STI;在 6 个月时,所有直肠检测中 18%的衣原体检测呈阳性。在 PrEP 开始和随访期间,有不一致的 condom 使用和高 STI 率,这为在该人群中发现无症状性 STI 提供了机会。本研究是夏威夷首例关于 PrEP 使用者中 STI 发生率的报告。
