Barriers to PrEP Uptake in Young U.K. Men Who Have Sex With Men
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prevents HIV contraction in HIV-negative individuals. Despite higher risks, uptake is low among young men who have sex with men (YMSM). This study investigates barriers to PrEP uptake in U.K. YMSM, where treatment has recently been approved within services. Semi-structured interviews with 10 YMSM living in the United Kingdom were analyzed using data-driven reflexive thematic analysis. Analysis highlighted three principal barriers to PrEP uptake: lack of perceived necessity, lack of knowledge, and perceived acquisition discomfort. YMSM experience unique barriers to PrEP uptake. Recommendations for tackling barriers included implementation of an online application, alongside educational measures.
