Among women who inject drugs, sexual and injection-related risk behaviors were prevalent at baseline, but we found limited evidence of risk compensation with preexposure prophylaxis uptake over follow-up. Abstract The impact of preexposure prophylaxis uptake on sexual and injection-related behaviors among women who inject drugs is poorly understood. Over 24 weeks, preexposure prophylaxis uptake among women who inject drugs was associated with increased sharing of injection equipment but not syringes and no changes in condomless sex, providing limited evidence of risk compensation in this vulnerable population.
