Abstract

Daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis is an effective strategy for HIV prevention; yet, uptake has been lower than anticipated. This study explores the factors that influenced current users' decisions to initiate PrEP in Western New York. Qualitative data from 41 semi-structured interviews were thematically analyzed. Participants' decision to initiate PrEP was based on individual, interpersonal and structural factors. PrEP users initiated when there was an increase in knowledge, risk perception, sexual health communication, and PrEP access. Findings suggest for PrEP to maximize its HIV prevention potential, public health interventions that utilize a multi-level approach may be most impactful to increase uptake.

影响暴露前预防用药的因素:一项定性研究。
每日口服暴露前预防是预防艾滋病毒的有效策略;然而,吸收率低于预期。本研究探讨了影响纽约西部当前用户决定启动PrEP的因素。对41个半结构化访谈的定性数据进行主题分析。参与者决定启动PrEP是基于个人,人际和结构因素。当知识、风险认知、性健康沟通和PrEP获取有所增加时,PrEP使用者开始使用PrEP。研究结果表明,为了使PrEP最大限度地发挥其预防艾滋病毒的潜力,利用多层次方法的公共卫生干预措施可能对增加吸收最有影响。
