Factors Influencing Use of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis

Prevention is key to keeping men who have sex with men (MSM) protected from HIV. Despite new and innovative HIV prevention resources such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), factors such as education level, employment status, number of sexual partners, and access to health resources may inhibit certain populations from using it. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to examine the association between education level, employment status, number of sexual partners, and access to health resources and the use of PrEP among MSM.
