  • IR = incidence rate; PrEP = pre-exposure prophylaxis; STI = sexually transmitted infection.

  • Note: IRs are expressed as per 100 person-months. Number of person-months of follow-up was 1,623.5 for the total cohort, 194.3 for those with PrEP uptake, and 1,429.2 for those without PrEP uptake.

  • a Chlamydia, gonorrhea, and/or syphilis.
