Objectives HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective in preventing HIV, but some seroconversions occur due to poor adherence or PrEP discontinuation. Our objective was to estimate the incidence of PrEP discontinuation and describe the reasons and factors associated with discontinuations. Methods A retrospective cohort was conducted in three French hospitals between January 2016 and June 2022. PrEP users who attended at least twice within 6 months during study period were included and followed up until December 2022. The incidence rate of PrEP discontinuation was estimated by censoring lost to follow up individuals. Factors associated with PrEP discontinuations were identified using a multivariate Cox model. Results A total of 2785 PrEP users were included, with 94% men and 5% transgender people. Median age was 35 years. By December 2022, 653 users had stopped PrEP (24%). The incidence rate was 10.8 PrEP discontinuations for 100 person-years (PY). The main causes of discontinuation were being in a stable relationship (32%), and not judging the treatment useful anymore (12%). Individuals who discontinued PrEP were younger [<29, HR = 1.45 (1.17–1.80)], and more likely to be women [HR = 2.44 (1.50–3.96)] or sex workers [HR = 1.53 (0.96–2.44)]. They were more likely to report PrEP side effects [HR = 2.25 (1.83–2.77)] or ≥2 sexually transmitted infections [HR = 1.87 (1.53–2.27)] during the last year. Conclusion The incidence of PrEP discontinuations was quite low compared to rates observed in other cohorts. Users who stopped PrEP were sometimes still exposed to HIV, emphasizing the need for targeted interventions to prepare and support PrEP discontinuations and limit seroconversion risk.
