We used group-based trajectory models to identify four distinct trajectory patterns of adherence to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among 20,696 users. Only 44.5% were consistently PrEP adherent, with younger age, being female, or having substance use disorder or depression associated with early discontinuation. Public health efforts are needed to improve PrEP adherence.
