Sexually transmitted diseases in people living with HIV after implementation of cost coverage of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis by statutory health insurance in Germany.

A tendency for an increased ratio of STIs in people living with HIV was observed after the introduction of PrEP coverage by German SHI. STIs should be discussed intensively with people living with HIV, since the communities of PrEP users and people living with HIV overlap, and changes in risk behaviour might influence both groups.
