Abstract:
In 2017, Florida ranked 2nd nationally in prevalence and incidence rates of HIV infections in the United States. Due to the high burden of HIV and low viral suppression in Florida, it is of increased importance to study methods of HIV prevention such as preexposure prophylaxis(PrEP) in this state. Our study aimed to examine correlates of PrEP awareness among PLWH in Florida and describe patterns of PrEP awareness/information sources. Using data collected from the Florida Cohort study between 2014 and 2018, 530 PLWH answered items that were hypothesized to be correlated with PrEP awareness. Of our sample, 53.8% were aware of PrEP. Urban location of recruitment, sexual partner's use of PrEP, use of viral suppression as an HIV prevention strategy, and engagement in transactional sex were all significantly associated with higher odds of PrEP awareness. Care providers and HIV/AIDS support groups were the most frequently listed sources of PrEP awareness, sources of future PrEP information, and most trusted sources for PrEP information. Findings from this study could inform future interventions that aim to increase PrEP awareness among PLWH to increase PrEP awareness and uptake among their HIV-negative social and sexual networks.
