Abstract

Introduction

We assessed family physicians’ (FP) willingness to integrate PrEP into their clinical practice in Montpellier and its surroundings.

Method

We aimed to randomly assess 92 FPs.

Results

Ninety-six FPs were interviewed from May to December 2018: 78% (95% CI [69; 86]) were willing to integrate PrEP, 65% to be trained, and 52% to be the first providers. Of the 65 (6%) with some knowledge of PrEP, 21 were not aware of targeted populations and 39 never talked about PrEP with their patients. Nearly all FPs declared HIV prevention as part of their job and felt at ease talking about sexuality. Considering HIV prevention as part of their job was associated with increased likelihood to integrate PrEP into their practice (P = 0.015).

Conclusions

Most FPs were willing to integrate and be trained on PrEP. Lack of PrEP prescription seemed related to a lack of knowledge.

评估家庭医生开PrEP的意愿

我们评估了家庭医生(FP)在蒙彼利埃及其周边地区将PrEP纳入临床实践的意愿。方法随机评估92例FPs。结果2018年5月至12月共访谈96名FPs: 78% (95% CI [69;[86])愿意整合PrEP, 65%愿意接受培训，52%愿意成为第一提供者。在对PrEP有一定了解的65人(6%)中，21人不了解目标人群，39人从未与患者谈论过PrEP。几乎所有的FPs都宣称艾滋病预防是他们工作的一部分，并且对谈论性行为感到自在。将艾滋病毒预防作为其工作的一部分与将PrEP纳入其实践的可能性增加相关(P = 0.015)。结论大多数家庭主妇愿意整合和接受PrEP培训，缺乏PrEP处方可能与缺乏相关知识有关。
