“…The percentage of YMSM who transitioned from willingness to use PrEP to actual usage experienced the most significant decline, dropping to less than one in seven (13.94%). Specifically, the rate of PrEP usage among YMSM was 7.61%, which is lower than that reported in several studies conducted in the US (9.20% [25], 8.2% [26], and 10% [27]). However, compared with the results of a survey conducted in Shanghai, China, during 2012-2013, the rate of PrEP use in this study was greater, indicating that the number of users is gradually increasing with the advancement of PrEP application efforts in China.…”

IntroductionIn China, young men who have sex with men (YMSM) are one of the groups most at risk of HIV/AIDS. The uptake of pre‐exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among YMSM has not been well documented. A cascade analysis of awareness, willingness, use and adherence with regard to PrEP was conducted separately among YMSM students and non‐students.MethodsFrom 20 October to 30 December 2021, all adolescents aged 16–24 years were selected for the study from among MSM recruited from 31 provincial administrative regions in mainland China. Participants were included in a cross‐sectional study of awareness, willingness, use and adherence with regard to PrEP among YMSM. Logistic regression modelling was used to identify factors associated with the four outcomes.ResultsAmong 1014 student and 866 non‐student YMSMs, respectively, 88.07% and 81.64% had heard of PrEP; 58.16% and 50.35% were willing to use PrEP; 7.59% and 7.62% had used PrEP; and 3.16% and 3.58% had adhered to PrEP. Among students, those living in high‐risk areas and pilot cities and those who had engaged in commercial sex and group sex had a positive effect on PrEP use, and the same trends were found among non‐students living in high‐risk areas and pilot cities and those who had engaged in group sex. ‘Daily oral’ and ‘flexible’ PrEP use positively influenced adherence among both groups.ConclusionsA differentiation strategy of PrEP promotion should be implemented among YMSM. Material support for students, such as financial resources, should increase, while non‐students should increase their level of perception of HIV risk.

“…Our data reinforce that PrEP use among gay and bisexual men remains low in the United States [34]. Our national probability estimate of 6.6% PrEP uptake over the course of our study is on the low end of estimates for PrEP uptake from clinical [35][36][37]; and community samples [14,38,39]. Although our data demonstrate PrEP use increased by 90% (from 4.14% to 7.81%) from wave 1 to wave 3, indicating greater coverage over the course of three years, there is substantial room for improvement.…”

Longitudinal trends in PrEP familiarity, attitudes, use and discontinuation among a national probability sample of gay and bisexual men, 2016–2018

This study explored familiarity with, attitudes toward, uptake and discontinuation of PrEP (Pre-exposure prophylaxis) among a national probability sample of gay and bisexual men. PrEP is one of the most effective biomedical HIV prevention strategies; however, use among gay and bisexual men remains low within the United States. This study used a national probability sample of gay and bisexual men from three age cohorts of men (18–25, 34–41, and 52–59 years at wave 1) who completed three annual surveys between March 2016 and March 2018 (N at wave 1 = 624). Recruitment occurred through a Gallup dual-frame sampling procedure; results for this study came from eligible individuals who consented to be part of the self-administered online or mailed survey questionnaire. We used descriptive data with sampling weights to understand trends in PrEP familiarity, PrEP attitudes and PrEP use across all three time points. Next, PrEP uptake and discontinuation were assessed among men completing all three surveys and who remained eligible for PrEP at all three time points (N = 181). PrEP familiarity increased considerably between 2016 and 2018 among those eligible for PrEP (from 59.8% from wave 1 to 92.0% at wave 3). Favorable attitudes toward PrEP increased more modestly (from 68.3% at wave 1 to 72.7% at wave 3). While PrEP use increased by 90% between the two time points (from 4.1% in 2016 to 7.8% in 2018), this represented a small percentage of overall uptake among eligible participants across time (6.6%). Among respondents who reported PrEP use at wave 1 or wave 2, 33.3% subsequently discontinued PrEP use at a later wave. Findings indicate modest increases in PrEP use between 2016 and 2018 in a national probability sample of sexually-active gay and bisexual men. PrEP discontinuation was high and suggests the need for further research into gay and bisexual men’s PrEP discontinuation and persistence.

“…Di Inggris, PPrP tergolong efektif secara kegunaan maupun secara biaya (European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, 2021). Pada 164 sampel di Central Savannah River Area (CSRA), PPrP didapatkan 80,5% peserta sadar akan penggunaan PPrP, 16,4% sudah berdiskusi dengan konselor dan 9,2% sudah menggunakan PPrP (Griffin, Eldridge-Smith, Yohannan, & Stepleman, 2020). Di Cina, jika PPrP terbukti berfungsi, penggunaan PPrP akan diterima sebanyak 75,34% (Si et al, 2020).…”

Introduction: HIV is an infection that attacks the immune system which is characterized by a decrease in CD4+ cells with MSM as the 2nd largest contributor globally. PPrP serves as an additional option in the prevention of HIV-negative MSM from becoming infected with HIV. Objective: This study was conducted to review more deeply the role of pre-exposure prophylaxis in reducing the risk of contracting HIV in male sex groups with HIV negative men and to review the effectiveness and implementation of HIV/AIDS pre-exposure prophylaxis in male sex men so that it is expected to be a consideration in efforts to combat HIV/AIDS. Methods: Literature search was conducted from journal articles published online in the period 2012-2021. The databases used are ScienceDirect, Pubmed, Google Scholar, and Cochrane. Results: The study showed that the factors that significantly affected the high prevalence of HIV cases among MSM were anal sex and based on the findings the use of PrEP showed a significant effectiveness for the MSM group with pre-exposure prophylaxis as a preventive measure in dealing with HIV positive cases. Conclusion: PrEP has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of contracting HIV in HIV-negative MSM groups and has the potential to be an additional prevention option so that it can be applied in efforts to prevent HIV infection and reduce the spread of HIV in MSM.
