Table 2.

Model projections of the impact of PrEP on HCV prevalence, incidence and the relative change in new HIV and HCV infections for 12·5% and 25·0% PrEP coverage with and without risk compensation. The risk compensation scenario assumes condom use among PrEP users reduces from 68% to 34%. *PrEP users in ‘No PrEP’ scenario are assumed to be representative of MSM who are eligible for PrEP in 2018.

PrEP scenario Relative change (%) in new infections from 2018 to 2030 compared to no PrEP scenario
