Compared with an objective biomarker of drug-level measurements, self-report provides an accurate indicator for assessing preexposure prophylaxis use among New York City sexually transmitted infection clinic patients. Abstract In New York City, 91% of sexually transmitted infection clinic patients reported preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use that matched the detection of PrEP in their serum. Self-report had 80% sensitivity and 96% specificity (κ = 0.79) compared with measured PrEP. Our findings suggest that self-report may be a valid indicator of PrEP uptake.
