Participants were categorized into: (A) PLWH or PrEP users with documented rectal STI episodes in the context of active sexual health follow-up; (B) PrEP\/PLWH without STIs; and (C) general population controls.

After weighting, individuals with documented rectal STI episodes (Group A) exhibited a markedly higher overall antibiotic exposure compared with general population controls (Group C) (adjusted rate ratio [RR]-DHD 4.67, 95% CI 4.41\u20134.94), driven by tetracyclines (RR-DHD 23.7), corresponding to a population rate equivalent to \u223c1.1 seven-day doxycycline courses per person-year (a population-level metric, not an individual estimate). Group B consumption was 33% higher than controls (P\u200a=\u200a0.004). Direct comparison confirmed that Group A\u2019s tetracycline use was 5.6-fold higher than Group B\u2019s (P\u200a&amp;lt;\u200a0.001).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PLWH and PrEP users with documented rectal STI episodes experience markedly higher antibiotic exposure than the general population, driven primarily by tetracycline use.
