We assessed the feasibility of HCVST in cisgender men-who-have-sex-with-men (cis-MSM) and transgender women (TGW) on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This cross-sectional study included cis-MSM or TGW attending a PrEP consultation in Rio de Janeiro (Brazil). Participants performed HCVST using blood-based and oral-fluid kits on the same day under observation. Difficulties, errors and assistance during HCVST were recorded. Re-reading and re-testing concordance [Kappa(k)] and values/preferences were assessed. A total of 250 participants (88% cis-MSM, age = 34 [IQR,28-41] years, 42% with high education level) were included. The main steps where participants requested assistance (95%CI) for blood-based HCVST were to add buffer [35.6%(29.9-41.8)] and to collect blood sample with the dropper [34.0%(28.4-40.1)]. The main error during oral fluid HCVST was incorrect collection of oral fluid [29.6% (95%CI,24.2-35.6)]. A total of 62.4% (95%CI,56.2-68.2) and 28.8% (95%CI,23.5-34.8) participants needed assistance in at least one step of blood-based and oral fluid HCVST, respectively. Lower education level was associated with higher odds of needing assistance for blood-based HCVST [aOR = 2.07 (95%CI,1.99-3.59),p = 0.009]. Re-reading and re-testing k-indexes were 0.92 and 0.89 for blood-based, and 1.00 and 0.75 for oral fluid HCVST, respectively. More than 95% of people felt safe; would repeat or would recommend HCVST. A total of 46.4% (95%CI,40.3-52.6) preferred oral fluid versus 36.4% (95%CI,30.6-42.6) who preferred blood-based.

Decision-aid tools that support communication and shared decision-making may improve both access to and uptake of numerous HIV prevention modalities among SGMY. The study aimed to inform the decision-making process of HIV prevention modalities for HCPs and SGMY, providing key information about HIV prevention modalities with PrEPChoices, a web-based decision aid tool. Our study recruited two participant groups, HCPs (N = 15) and SGMY (N = 18). Eligible HCPs held a Doctor of Medicine (MD), Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (DO), Nurse Practitioner (NP), or Physician Assistant/Associate (PA) degree, were licensed to prescribe medications in at least one United States state, had provided care to patients aged 15 to 24 within the past month, and were 18 years of age or older. Eligible SGMY were assigned male sex at birth, reported sexual attraction to and/or sexual behavior with cisgender men or transgender women in the past six months, and were 15 to 24 years of age. Participants completed a semi-structured Webex interview focused on the clarity and relevance, presentation and usability, and application of PrEPChoices, a web-based decision aid tool to support HIV prevention modalities selection among HCPs and SGMY. Interview transcripts were coded using an iteratively developed codebook. Findings were thematically analyzed within a Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats (SWOT) analysis framework. Thirty-three participants enrolled (N = 33), including 15 HCPs and 18 SGMY. Strengths included: (1) support for HIV prevention-based decision making; (2) utilization of the filtering tool to select preferred HIV prevention modalities; and (3) intuitive website design. Weaknesses included: (1) gaps in needs and literacy levels between HCPs and SGMY; (2) limited visual design appeal and inclusive representation; and (3) limited in-tool features for comparing HIV prevention modalities. Opportunities included: (1) potential for multimodal dissemination; and (2) expanding external resources provided. Threats included: (1) challenge of integrating PrEPChoices into clinical practices; and (2) ability to stand out compared to other online HIV prevention education resources. HCPs and SGMY highlight the value of PrEPChoices as a web-based decision aid tool to enhance HIV prevention modality selection among SGMY.

Cases were participants newly initiating PrEP, matched to four controls selected from participants who were at risk of initiating PrEP at the exact time the case occurred.

A dichotomous exposure categorization grouping strategy was also applied across the above analysis (combining ever and recent users). Conditional Logistic regression estimated associations between PEP and PrEP initiation. Subgroup analyses were performed to assess the potential effect modification.

However, there are significant gaps in our understanding of their potential impacts on American Indian reservations. This study explores perspectives about PHVM implementation through semi-structured interviews among a sample of persons (N = 12) who used a PHVM on an American Indian reservation. Participants were asked to describe their perceptions about the PHVMs, including how they affected infectious disease and overdose prevention. Participants reported that PHVMs enhanced access to a variety of health-promoting supplies (e.g., HIV tests, sterile injection equipment, naloxone). Participants explained that the PHVMs offered HIV and overdose prevention supplies in a low-threshold manner that minimized stigma. Future work should explore associations between PHVM implementation and shifts in infectious disease transmission and overdose morbidity and mortality on American Indian reservation lands.</p>","PeriodicalId":7543,"journal":{"name":"AIDS and Behavior","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.4,"publicationDate":"2026-06-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148248737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
