Some women in France are using PrEP, but only transgender women tend to stay on it

The number of gay and bisexual men in France at enough risk of HIV to benefit from PrEP is about 142,000, the country’s premier PrEP researcher, Professor Jean-Michel Molina, told the 19th European AIDS Conference (EACS 2023) in Warsaw last Saturday. Even though this represents only 0.6% of the adult male population, it is still many more than the 42,000 men who are actually taking PrEP – 29.5% of those in need of it.
