The estimated sample size was 242. The information about the social-demographic characteristics, behavioral characteristics, utilization of the post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) service, awareness and utilization of PrEP service of the young MSM were collected. Logistic regression model was used to analyze the related factors of the PrEP utilization. Results: A total of 273 young MSM aged 16- 24 years were surveyed in the study. A total for 20.1% (55/273) of them had used PrEP service. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the factors related to PrEP service utilization included age 16-20 years (aOR=3.03, 95%CI:1.12-8.20), education level of senior high school or below (aOR=2.83, 95%CI:1.09-7.35), full-time/part-time work (aOR=3.25, 95%CI: 1.26-8.38), homosexual activity in the past 6 months (aOR=6.71, 95%CI:1.84-24.55), inquiring medical staff about PrEP (aOR=4.71, 95%CI:1.99-11.13) and PEP service use (aOR=6.09, 95%CI:2.69-13.81). Conclusions: The utilization rate of PrEP service was low in young MSM in Hangzhou.
