Brief description/objective

We assessed changes in sexual behaviour among people with HIV (PWH) over 20 years. Condom use with stable partners steadily declined from over 90% to 29% since the Swiss U = U statement with similar trajectories between men who have sex with men (MSM) and heterosexuals. Occasional partnership remained higher among MSM compared to heterosexuals even during COVID-19 social distancing.
