TL;DR: Among gay and bisexual men using PrEP, STIs were highly concentrated among a subset, and receipt of PrEP after study enrollment was associated with an increased incidence of STIs compared with preenrollment, highlighting the importance of frequent STI testing.

TL;DR: In this paper, the FaceSpace Project, a sexual health promotion intervention using social networking sites targeting two key at-risk groups, is described and recommended for developing and implementing health promotion interventions on these sites, including establishing a multidisciplinary team, allowing adequate time for obtaining approvals, securing sufficient resources for building and maintaining an online presence, and developing an integrated process and impact evaluation framework.

TL;DR: HIV self-testing resulted in a two times increase in frequency of testing in gay and bisexual men at high risk of infection, and a nearly four times increased in non-recent testers, compared with standard care, without reducing the frequency of facility-based HIV testing.

TL;DR: GBM in Australia have dramatically reduced their sexual contacts with other men since COVID-19, and these behavioural changes will likely result in short-term reductions in new HIV and STI diagnoses.

TL;DR: QAF offers a successful example of exploiting the reach, interactivity, and engagement potential of SNS; findings from this process evaluation provide a model to inform the delivery and evaluation of future health promotion interventions on SNS.
