**FOR World AIDS Day** on Saturday, December 1, Amsterdam based Gay dating app ROMEO held a worldwide survey among its members about safer sex to get a better idea of sexual behaviour and opinions about condoms, PrEP use, and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

The response was impressive with a total of 69,551 respondents answering the survey.

**Knowledge about safer sex**  
The ROMEO survey showed that an amazing 88% of gay, bi males or trans members feel that they are well-informed about safer sex and sexually transmitted infections (STIs).

**PrEP use and availability**  
According to the ROMEO survey, only 16% of participants said that they use PrEP and 67% said that PrEP should be covered by national health agencies and/or other health insurance.

Among PrEP users, 91% indicated that they also are willing to use condoms.

**Jens Schmidt Founder of ROMEO said:** *“The introduction of PrEP in 2012, a medication that prevents HIV infection, has been a game changer in the gay dating world. At the same time, there is a big discussion about its benefits and risks. With this survey we want to help to find answers.”*

**Major concern**  
Comments from participants indicate that the rise in the spread of STIs is a major concern.

**The Results**  
Based on the survey results, ROMEO believes that PrEP will have a positive impact, especially for those who do not consistently use a condom.
