FAQs

The session poses this as a core question, focusing on mechanisms by which STD programs can support PrEP uptake and increase usage.

If STD programs do not directly provide PrEP, how can they still contribute to the PrEP cascade?

The webinar explicitly asks how STD programs can play a supportive role in the PrEP cascade even when they are not the direct PrEP provider.

How does increasing STD screening frequency for MSM on PrEP affect STD prevalence?

A dedicated question addresses the relationship between more frequent screening and reductions in STD prevalence among MSM who are on PrEP.
