The rate of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) is high among gay and bisexual men starting pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), offering opportunities for stepped-up testing and treatment, according to an Australian study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
In this study of nearly 3,000 sexually active men who have sex with men, just under half were diagnosed with a bacterial STI—chlamydia, gonorrhea or syphilis—during the first year on PrEP. However, a quarter of the participants accounted for three quarters of new STIs, pointing to a subgroup of men who could potentially benefit from more intensive prevention efforts.
“Findings suggested that STI prevention campaigns should not focus solely on condom use but also on reducing the time to STI diagnosis and treatment by promoting easy access to frequent testing,” lead researcher Michael Traeger, MSc, of the Burnet Institute in Melbourne, and colleagues wrote.

Sticking a pee pee into a bunghole, what could possibly go wrong?
Left unmentioned in the article is the fact of increasing drug resistance in these other diseases found disproportionately high in homosexual men.
I’ve read there are drug resistant Syphilis and Gonorrhea. Don’t know how prevalent they are.
Sheesh. Spending more public money is not the solution to sexual disease and sexual perversion.
Not sure which network it is but there are frequent commercials for this. I think, didn’t they tell everyone that condoms would stop the spread of HIV/AIDS. They say that this is supposed to be used in addition to condoms but it looks like they are using it in place of condoms.
Well that is not working out.
Should be schooled in the proper use of a pecker. . .
i am sorry i went to that website, POZ. What was i thinking?? and I hate the commercial for this drug.
STDs v. STIs
Apparently, infection sounds so much nicer than disease. Diseases can kill but infections just need a pill and it’s cured, right?
You know what AIDS stands for?
I know. But you really have to go to the obscure homo websites where they have a vested interest in critical unvarnished truth to learn the truth. Can you ever imagine this information being broadcast from the mainstream media? It would kill the carefully crafted narrative of "just like everyone else."
Should have been named DiAS
I refuse to call it “STI’s.” The are still STD’s.
I have prostate cancer that isn’t affecting me, but it is still a disease.
No suggestion made to just avoid promiscuous sex.
Another name for GRIDS.
Anally Injected Death Sentence.
Especially several hundred different pee pees a year into that bunghole.
Every time treatment improves for diseases that homosexual men get, they take that as carte blanche to increase dangerous behavior.
keep peckers out of this! The ivory billed woodpecker is one of the rarest and most beautiful birds!
At this point whole cities could be quarantines.
