Introduction: Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate/emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) is used as oral preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV. Because TDF could be nephrotoxic, we assessed the association between PrEP use and kidney function over time.
Methods: We included men who have sex with men (MSM) from the Amsterdam PrEP demonstration Project (AMPrEP; 2015-2020) at the Public Health Service of Amsterdam, who had an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) ≥ 60 ml/min per 1.
Article Synopsis
- There has been an increase in pneumonia cases and other related infections at a hospital in the Netherlands since October 2023.
- This rise in infections is higher than it has been since 2011.
- The new patients are younger now, with an average age of 28 years old, compared to 40 years old in 2019 and 2020, so doctors should pay extra attention to kids with breathing problems.
