Event-driven #Prep 💊 is highly effective to prevent #HIV, but adherence is key.

In the Amsterdam PrEP study, we observed very high ⬆️adherence to event-driven PrEP, especially around days of possible exposure.

Uptake of #HPV vaccination is very low among girls of Moroccan origin living in Amsterdam. Amina Aljic found out why by interviewing their mothers. See poster nr522 this week @IPVSociety #HPVvaccine @SchimMaarten

How did the #COVID19 restrictions🏠 affect #PrEP💊 use, sexual healthcare use and STI incidence among MSM in #Amsterdam This question will be answered tomorrow by Feline de la Court (PhD student, GGD Amsterdam) during a spotlight presentation at 🕢15:30 at #NCHIV 2021!

[GGD Amsterdam Infectious Disease Research @GGDAmsID]

Daily 🗓️ and event-driven #PrEP are both recommended for MSM, but how do MSM use PrEP in real-life?

Great presentation by Vita Jongen at #NCHIV today showing that 4 distinct trajectories📈 of PrEP💊 use were found ranging from infrequent to daily use.
