Sexual satisfaction with daily oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among gay and bisexual men at two urban PrEP clinics in the United States: an observational study

Madeline C. Montgomery, Jacqueline Ellison, Philip A. Chan, Laura Harrison, Jacob J. van den Berg Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective tool for HIV prevention. However, research and clinical practice has traditionally overlooked sexual satisfaction with PrEP use. To explore this, we performed a cross-sectional survey of men who have sex with men (MSM) taking PrEP and found that starting PrEP was associated with a significant increase in sexual satisfaction. We recommend that clinicians incorporate a more patient-centred, sex-positive approach to PrEP care among MSM.
