	I hope the CDC is supporting the idea of giving broader counseling on adherence as it was given in PreP clinical trials - hopefully that idea will be put into practice. And also counseling on condom use. Otherwise while we try to reduce the risk of transmitting HIV, we will have STIs outbreak. --------- Muge Cevik,MD, MSc STIs and HIV Regional Focal Point for Western Europe Global Youth Coalition on HIV/AIDS e-mail: muge (at) gyca.org TIG: mugecevik GSM: +44 (0) 7531993677 www.tigweb.org \| www.gyca.org Chelsea and Westminster Hospital 369, Fulham Road, London, SW10 9NH GYCA is a youth-led global network of more than 4,500 young leaders and adult allies working on youth and HIV and AIDS in 150 countries worldwide.
