Cost-effectiveness of eHealth-based HIV pre-exposure intervention for recreational drugs using among men who have sex with men in China: a modelling study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Recreational drug (RD) is widespread among men who have sex with men (MSM), inspiring "Chemsex" which then exacerbates the spread of HIV. Electronic health (eHealth) can effectively intervene in RD use, while the efficacy of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in HIV prevention has been well-documented. However, eHealth and PrEP have not been implemented on a large-scale in China, and the cost-effectiveness of intervention remains uncertain. This study conducted a dynamic modelling to predict HIV prevalence trends among MSM and the cost-effectiveness of various interventions.

Methods

Through constructing the HIV-RD model, HIV trends among MSM for the next 30 years are projected. Social network intervention and customized short message service (SMS) in eHealth wer
