“…These results add up to the lack of evidence of condom migration (decrease in condom use as a result of being substituted by another preventive intervention) or risk compensation (increase in HIV risk-taking behavior) reported in this cohort of FSWs despite concerns raised on increasing risky sexual behaviors and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) among PrEP users. 24 In addition, a significant decrease in STIs episodes was also reported in the cohort of interest. 17 , 24 This is encouraging because it seems that in this context, PrEP is acting as a supplementary STI prevention intervention rather than an alternative to condom use.…”

Approximately half of participants chose clinic pickup and half chose home delivery, and no significant differences were seen between PrEP users who chose one delivery method over the other.…”
