PrEP users were defined as people who had received oral PrEP at least once in 2019. Numbers were based on data from the Global AIDS Monitoring system. Reporting countries refers to countries with any data on PrEP users by the specific subpopulations (including reporting of zero PrEP users in a population). These reporting countries vary by population, so the table should be understood as giving an indication of the number and proportion of PrEP users by subpopulation in reporting countries. See the appendix (pp 1–7) for details on data. AGYW=adolescent girls and young women. MSM=men who have sex with men. PrEP=pre-exposure prophylaxis. PWID=people who inject drugs.
