We observed an unbalanced access to PrEP in respect to all key populations which might benefit from PrEP, with a similar choice for event-based or daily-based regimens. High-risk behaviours and STIs were frequently observed. History of chlamydia was very frequently high in asymptomatic MSM at BL, compared with what observed before access to PrEP. High-risk behaviours and HIRI-MSM were associated with most of STIs.
