Abstract:
In China, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake among men who have sex with men (MSM) and HIV-serodiscordant couples is low. We offered differentiated PrEP options tailored to MSM in a community-based organization (CBO) setting, and to HIV-serodiscordant couples attempting conception in a specialized HIV care clinic. The CBO facilitated PrEP by linkage with a telemedicine platform for virtual consultation; additional online follow-up on social media was conducted by peers. PrEP was taken properly in 88.7% of visits. Retention was 82.4% at Month 6. MSM having HIV-infected partners over the past 6 months were more likely to adhere to PrEP; ≥ 50 years old and daily oral PrEP were significant predictors for failing in retention. Five pregnancies were reported in the clinic. A peer-led and social media, telemedicine-assisted PrEP model within a CBO is a feasible approach to roll out PrEP among MSM. Integrated PrEP in specialized HIV clinics is appropriate for serodiscordant couples attempting conception.
