The e-service demonstrated feasibility in estimating PrEP need and signposting service users. Up to 16% of returning users subsequently commenced PrEP. This highlights significant missed opportunities for the remaining online users, who continue to report HIV acquisition risk(s). Further efforts regionally/nationally to optimise uptake of PrEP, particularly among under-represented groups are warranted.
