NCT ID NCT06600087

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This completed study in France looked at 248 people taking PrEP (a daily pill to prevent HIV) to see how their sexual behaviors and rates of other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) changed over time. Researchers compared those on PrEP for over a year to those on it for less than a year. The goal was to gather information to improve future prevention efforts.
