Abstract

What is already known about this topic?: Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and postexposure prophylaxis (PEP) have been proven effective in preventing human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) transmission.

What is added by this report?: Men who have sex with men (MSM) who incorrectly used PrEP/PEP demonstrated higher HIV positivity rates compared to both correct users and non-users. Since PrEP/PEP users are more likely to engage in unprotected anal intercourse (UAI), incorrect use of these prophylactic measures may constitute a significant risk factor for HIV transmission among MSM.

What are the implications for public health practice?: It is crucial to implement strategies that guide MSM toward correct PrEP/PEP utilization while emphasizing that these prophylactic measures should not be considered substitutes for condom use.
