Abstract

This study aimed to explore willingness to use and preference for long-acting injectable PrEP (LAI-PrEP) among Thai youth at risk of HIV. A cross-sectional study was conducted in 100 Thai youth aged 18 to 24 years attending a sexual health clinic in Bangkok, Thailand. Participants received information about oral and LAI-PrEP before completing a questionnaire. Of the 98 participants willing to use pre-exposure prophylaxis, 47 preferred the injectable form. Preference for the injectable form was higher among individuals not currently using oral pre-exposure prophylaxis, affordability and longer injection intervals were key for acceptance of long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis.

本研究旨在探讨泰国艾滋病高危青年使用长效注射型 PrEP（LAI-PrEP）的意愿和偏好。本研究对在泰国曼谷一家性健康诊所就诊的 100 名 18-24 岁泰国青年进行了横断面研究。参与者在填写调查问卷之前都会收到有关口服和 LAI-PrEP 的信息。在 98 名愿意使用暴露前预防的参与者中，47 人选择了注射形式。目前不使用口服暴露前预防药物的人更倾向于注射形式，价格低廉和注射间隔更长是接受长效注射暴露前预防药物的关键。
