| Abstract |
We examined changes in sexual behavior and sexually transmitted infection (STI) prevalence among 183 men who have sex with men (MSM) initiating pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) at an STD Clinic in Seattle, WA. We used generalized estimating equations to measure changes in sexual behavior during PrEP use, and linked PrEP patient data with STI surveillance data to compare the prevalence of chlamydia, gonorrhea, and early syphilis in the periods prior to and during PrEP use. Reporting never using condoms in the prior 30 days increased (adjusted relative risk = 1.46; 95% confidence interval 1.13, 1.88) at 12 months after PrEP initiation compared to the initial PrEP visit. Reporting unknown status partners in the prior 30 days decreased at 12 months compared to the initial PrEP visit, but there was no change in number of sexual partners or reporting HIV-positive or HIV-negative partners. The percentage of patients diagnosed with any STI while using PrEP (49.2%) was higher than the percentage diagnosed in the 12 months prior to PrEP use (35.0%), likely driven in part by increased STI screening during PrEP use. Among MSM on PrEP, we observed decreases in condom use, and a higher prevalence of STIs during PrEP use compared to prior to PrEP initiation. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 9. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 31 July 2022.
All research outputs
#3,816,715
of 23,849,058 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#536
of 3,566 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#65,815
of 303,163 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#9
of 74 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,849,058 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 83rd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,566 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 85% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 303,163 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 78% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 74 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 87% of its contemporaries.
