摘要

本研究对 1389 名男男性行为者(MSM)的暴露前预防(PrEP)意识、知识和态度进行了评估。通过自我报告调查,我们测量了 PrEP 知识的平均得分、对 PrEP 的态度以及认知率,以确定影响 PrEP 采用率的关键因素。参与者对 PrEP 的知晓率为 66.3%,33.7% 的人从未听说过 PrEP。约有 4.5%的人以前有过使用 PrEP 的经历,但不是目前的使用者,只有 2.7%的人表示他们目前正在服用 PrEP。逻辑回归分析表明,教育程度、婚姻状况、以前的艾滋病检测知识以及对 PrEP 的态度是预测对 PrEP 是否了解的重要因素。一些人口统计学因素对使用 PrEP 的意向预测作用不大;然而,使用互联网结识伴侣、伴侣数量、HIV 检测、积极的态度和减少感知到的障碍在形成使用 PrEP 的意向方面起着至关重要的作用。这些发现凸显了有针对性的教育策略和量身定制的公共卫生信息在提高男男性行为者使用 PrEP 的意识和意向方面的关键作用。

Awareness, Intention to Use Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis, and Factors Associated with Awareness among Men Who Have Sex with Men in the Republic of Korea
This study assessed pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness, knowledge, and attitudes in a sample of 1389 men who have sex with men (MSM). Using a self-report survey, we measured PrEP knowledge mean scores, attitudes toward PrEP, and awareness rates to identify the key influences on PrEP uptake. PrEP awareness among participants was 66.3%, with 33.7% having never heard of PrEP. Approximately 4.5% had previous experience with PrEP but were not current users, while only 2.7% reported that they were currently taking it. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the significant predictors of PrEP awareness were educational attainment, marital status, prior HIV testing knowledge, and attitudes toward PrEP. Several demographic factors were not significant predictors of intention to use PrEP; however, using the internet to meet partners, number of partners, HIV testing, positive attitudes, and reduced perceived barriers played a critical role in shaping PrEP use intentions. These findings highlight the critical role of targeted educational strategies and tailored public health messaging in enhancing the awareness and intention to use PrEP among MSM.
