Nested within the SwissPrEPared Program, the "SwissPrEPared Study" - a large, multicentric, nation-wide cohort study - aims to longitudinally follow individuals asking for PrEP prescription over a period of 3 years.
The main aims of the study will be: 1. To obtain epidemiological data on individuals asking for PrEP in Switzerland. We are particularly interested in: * Determining the extent of PrEP use in Switzerland; * Assessing and monitoring the occurrence of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in this particular population. 2. To assess sexual health and sexual well-being in individuals asking for PrEP using a questionnaire specifically designed for the SwissPrEPared program.
