Inequities in PrEP use according to Medicare status in a publicly funded sexual health clinic; a retrospective analysis.
New HIV diagnoses continue to disproportionately affect overseas-born men who have sex with men (MSM). A retrospective study of all pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-eligible MSM attending Sydney Sexual Health Centre for the first time in 2021 analysed self-reported PrEP-use, PrEP prescribed at the initial consult, and PrEP taken during 2021 using binomial logistic regression models. A total of 1367 clients were included in the analysis, 716 (52.4%) were born overseas and 414 (57.8%) were Medicare-ineligible. Medicare-ineligible clients were less likely to be on PrEP at initial visit (OR 0.45, 95% CI 0.26-0.77). This study suggests inequities in PrEP access and/or awareness in Medicare-ineligible MSM in Australia.
