HIV prevalence and incidence in a cohort of South African men and transgender women who have sex with men: the Sibanye Methods for Prevention Packages Programme (MP3) project.

CONCLUSIONS: HIV incidence was high among MSM and TGW in the context of receiving a comprehensive package of prevention interventions and offering of PrEP. PrEP uptake was high; the observed incidence of HIV in those who started PrEP was about half the incidence of HIV in those who did not. Future implementation-oriented studies should focus on decisions to start and continue PrEP for those at highest risk, including young MSM. PMID: 33000918 [PubMed - in process]
