    Beyond HIV prevention: Assessment of the benefits of pre-exposure prophylaxis for sexual quality of life
    (2024) BERTEVELLO, Daniel A.; VASCONCELOS, Ricardo; CERQUEIRA, Natalia B.; FREITAS, Angela C.; CUNHA, Ana; I, Vivian Avelino-Silva
    Background: Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) may favor sexual satisfaction by reducing the fear of HIV and promoting less restrictive sexual practices. These benefits may be even higher among PrEP users with mental health issues. Methods: We invited adult PrEP users to answer a questionnaire including demographics, questions on the sexual experience compared to the period before PrEP use, and the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Factors associated with improvements in the sexual experience were investigated using modified Poisson models. Results: We included 221 participants; most were white males. A large percentage of participants reported improvements in quality of sex after PrEP initiation; the composite outcome ""PrEP-associated improvement in the quality of sex"" was observed in 92 (42%), whereas the outcome ""PrEP-associated improvement in the fear of HIV acquisition"" was observed in 120 participants (54%). Demographics and depression/anxiety were not significantly associated with the outcomes. Conclusion: PrEP has positive effects beyond HIV prevention, improving several aspects of sexual quality of life. These benefits are valid incentives for PrEP use and prescription.
