Outcomes of a policy to prioritize populations with expected healthcare barriers for subsidized preexposure prophylaxis care in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Objective: The Dutch HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) pilot provided subsidized PrEP care to maximum 2900 individuals at a time in Amsterdam. Populations with expected barriers to accessing PrEP elsewhere were prioritized for program inclusion. We evaluated their prior sexual health service engagement and PrEP need.
Design: Cross-sectional analysis using enrolment data.
Methods: We included individuals ever enrolled in the PrEP program at the Center for Sexual Health (CSH) Amsterdam between 2019 and 2023. We calculated the proportion belonging to higher-priority groups (i.e., <25 years old, transgender, sex worker, uninsured or migrant). We defined classes of sexual health service engagement in the 12 months preceding enrolment using latent class analysis (LCA). We compared engagement classes, sexual behavior and positivity of HIV and sexually transmitted infections (STI) between higher- and lower-priority groups.
Results: 2004/4075 (49%) individuals enrolled belonged to higher-priority groups. LCA showed three classes of prior engagement: "newly engaged" (14%, n = 551) were new to the CSH-Amsterdam; "PrEP initiators" (40%, n = 1642) previously visited the CSH-Amsterdam but had not used PrEP; "PrEP experienced" individuals (46%, n = 1882) previously accessed PrEP. Higher-priority groups were more often "newly engaged" or "PrEP-initiators" than "PrEP-experienced". Higher-priority groups less often had condomless anal sex with casual partners or chemsex in the prior 6 months. Positivity of bacterial STI was similar between higher-priority ( n = 300/2004, 15.0%) and lower-priority ( n = 315/2071, 15.2%) groups. 13/14 HIV diagnoses at enrolment were in higher-priority groups.
Conclusion: Higher-priority populations had less often previously used sexual health services and accounted for most new HIV diagnoses at enrolment. Engaging these populations in sexual healthcare, including PrEP, should be stressed.
