Methods: The research utilized key informant interviews (n = 17), focus groups (n = 7) a student survey (n = 163).
Results: Key findings revealed that the main barriers to PrEP uptake are cost, lack of education, insufficient personnel, and inconsistent partnerships with community providers. More than 60% of students were sexually active, with nearly 48% engaging in unprotected sex. Approximately one-third of students were aware of PrEP in either the pill or injectable form.
Conclusion: This study highlights the need for increased education and access to PrEP at HBCUs and MSIs.
