Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The main objective of the study will be to assess the performance of the Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) diagnostics of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae compared to reference techniques.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) have become a major global public health problem and are among the most common infections. The increase antibiotic resistance, particularly in Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium, is of concern. Currently, the diagnosis of STIs is based on specific tests by pathogen, mainly by standard culture allowing an antibiotic susceptibility testing, gene amplification tests possibly allowing the search for resistance genes and serologies.

Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) is based on the detection and analysis of any DNA and RNA present in the studied sample with a high degree of sensitivity, this method enables the precise identification of non-human sequences regardless its bacterial, viral or parasitologic origin, to detect resistance genes and to characterize the strains.

The investigators propose to assess the performance of NGS for the diagnosis of STIs. A cohort of 332 PrEP users from Saint-Antoine and Tenon Hospitals will be followed for this purpose every 3 months during 1 year (including also the intermediate visits if needed in case of STIs symptoms).

The main objective of the study will be to assess the performance of the NGS diagnostics of Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae compared to reference techniques.

The secondary objectives will be (i) to evaluate the performance of the diagnosis by NGS of the other STIs compared to the reference techniques, (ii) to evaluate the interest and the sensitivity of a 3 sites pooled sample "urine, throat and rectum" and the swab sampling from the ulcer lesions in the case of the ulcerations presence for the diagnosis of STIs, (iii) to describe the natural history of colonization with Mycoplasma genitalium and the appearance of resistance or pressure of antibiotic selection and (iv) to evaluate the prevalence of agents not usually sought in screening for STI (HSV-1, HSV-2, Haemophilus ducreyi, Campylobacter sp, Shigella sp, Clostridioides difficile, Entamoeba histolytica).

Improved diagnosis of STIs and resistance will allow a better patient management.

Study Groups

12-months prospective multicenter longitudinal cohort with the biological samples collection.

This is a single-arm interventional study. After acceptance of the study (signature of the informed consent form), patients are included in the single-arm interventional study for a period of 12 months with follow-up visits every 3 months and intermediate visits in the case of the symptoms presence or sexual contacts with partners having STIs (corresponding to standard care for the PrEP users).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Assess the Performance of Metagenomic Sequencing in the Diagnosis of STI (NGS-IST)

Intervention Type DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Proposal of the study to all eligible adult patients coming for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) consultations from the Infectious Diseases Department of Saint-Antoine and Tenon Hospitals (with delivery of a patient's information and signing an informed consent form).

During each visit (D0, M3, M6, M9, M12 and intermediate visits), patients will be asked to:

* Respond to a questionnaire on their history of taking antibiotics, STIs, their foreign travels, their consumption of tobacco, drugs, alcohol and their sexual practices.
* Perform the following additional samples at each visit, including the intermediate: rectal and throat swabs, urine sample and swab from the lesions in the case of ulceration presence due to STIs.

The diagnosis of STIs (NG and MG) will be carried out using 2 techniques: the reference technique and the Next-Generation-Sequencing (NGS) technique.

A serum sample will be collected during routine care. All samples will be stored after the analysis under -80° C.
