Abstract:
Nearly half the new HIV infections in Greece occur in sexual minority men, yet pre-exposure prophylaxis is not currently supported in the national HIV program. We examined factors associated with PrEP persistence among Greek SMM in PrEP for Greece, the first PrEP study in Greece. Participants (n = 100) were recruited from 2016 to 2018 through respondent-driven sampling among SMM in Athens, receiving supplies for daily PrEP at interval visits over 12-months. PrEP persistence, operationalized as Total PrEP Time, was high, 74% of participants achieving perfect persistence. Higher alcohol risk scores (OR 1.27, 95% CI 1.08-1.49) and adherence to HIV testing guidelines (OR 1.23, 95% CI 1.00-1.51) were associated with persistence. Housing impermanence (OR 0.14, 95% CI 0.04-0.48) and serostatus disclosure concerns (OR 0.77, 95% CI 0.60-0.97) were associated with limited PrEP persistence. While PrEP persistence among Greek SMM is high, socioeconomic factors and societal attitudes may challenge prevention efforts.

Testing a Claim about Population Proportion
There are two methods of testing a claim about a population proportion: (1) Using the sample proportion from the data where a binomial distribution is approximated to the normal distribution and (2) Using the binomial probabilities calculated from the data.
The first method uses normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution. The requirements are as follows: sample size is large...
