Abstract:
This mixed-methods study explored willingness to use long-acting injectable pre-exposure prophylaxis (LAI-PrEP) among a pharmacy-based sample of men, including sexual and gender minoritized (SGM) individuals. We conducted qualitative interviews (n = 10) with HIV-negative Black men, including Black SGM individuals, and surveys (n = 103) across three study phases with men recruited from community pharmacies in Atlanta, Georgia. Interviews explored perceived benefits and concerns related to LAI-PrEP; surveys assessed willingness and related reasons. Thematic analysis was used for interview transcripts, and descriptive statistics summarized survey responses. Participants mentioned benefits such as improved adherence and reduced stigma, but also noted concerns about medical mistrust and fear of needles. Willingness was higher in the transitional pilot phase than in the pilot phase, where concerns about side effects and comfort were more common. Findings highlight the need for tailored LAI-PrEP strategies that address barriers among Black SGM populations and promote equitable HIV prevention.
