Newest firstIntroduction Sexualized alcohol use (SAU) and sexualized drug use (SDU) involve the use of alcohol and/or drugs in sexual contexts, which may impact the HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) continuum of care. This study examines associations between SAU, SDU, and PrEP retention among Thai men who have sex with men (MSM), and explores the acceptability of mobile health interventions. Methods A quantitative study wit…
Open article record in new tab ↗Long-acting injectable (LAI) formulations of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and medications for opioid use disorder (MOUD) offer promising new approaches for addressing the intersecting challenges of HIV and opioid use disorder (OUD) in carceral settings. However, successful implementation requires understanding the perspectives of key carceral and community stakeholders. This qualitative study involved 17 semi-s…
Open article record in new tab ↗Because of its recent regulatory approval in southern and eastern Africa, CAB PrEP represents a scientific advancement with unknown implementation costs in most African countries. To our knowledge, this paper is the first study comparing PrEP costs in health facilities where clients had a choice between three PrEP methods. We collected and analyzed the direct service delivery costs for each method using the same c…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundHuman Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) remains a significant public health challenge in Kenya, with women of reproductive age (WRA) at an increased risk. Although pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) was integrated into Kenyas HIV prevention program close to a decade ago, it is still underutilized among WRA outside the key populations at a high risk for HIV. Understanding PrEP awareness and acceptability is cruci…
Background Long-acting (LA) injectable preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and on-demand PrEP may improve overall PrEP uptake among men who have sex with men (MSM), but little is understood about the PrEP option preferences of MSM in practical scenarios where they may choose between various PrEP options. Objective This study aims to examine the preferences for starting various PrEP options among a US nationwide online…
BackgroundIndividuals who have recently acquired HIV represent a unique population because the time frame since HIV acquisition is relatively short and identification of missed HIV prevention opportunities is, therefore, closer to real time and less subject to recall bias. Identifying prevention measures used and missed opportunities for using them, can help stop further HIV transmission. ObjectivesThis systematic…
Open article record in new tab ↗BackgroundHIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is key to HIV transmission elimination but implementation is challenging and under-researched. We undertook a process evaluation of the first two years of a national PrEP programme to explore barriers and facilitators to implementation and to develop recommendations to improve implementation, focussing on PrEP uptake and initiation. MethodsStage 1 involved semi-structu…
