| Summary: | Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections are increasing globally despite significant advancements in preventive and treatment programmes.1 This alarming trend is particularly pronounced within high-risk populations, especially among young men who have sex with men (YMSM). Given these rising infection rates, studies such as the iPARTY study are highly pertinent and essential. The study provides valuable insights into the implementation of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among YMSM in Singapore, shedding light on critical factors that influence adherence, such as sexual practices and mental health.2 Despite the well-documented efficacy of PrEP in significantly reducing the risk of HIV transmission, its uptake remains suboptimal. This is especially true for younger individuals who may encounter barriers such as financial difficulties, lack of awareness and social constraints. |
