Abstract
Despite proven effectiveness in reducing HIV transmission, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use remains low among those who meet the recommended CDC guidance for PrEP use. Data are from a U.S. national cohort of men and trans persons who have sex with men (2017–2018). Logistic regression analyses were used to determine individual and partner factors associated with intentions to use PrEP among non-PrEP-using participants reporting a main partner (n = 1,671). Prior PrEP use among participants (14.2%) and their partners (7.7%) was low. Participants’ prior PrEP use and main partner's HIV-positive status were both positively associated with intentions to use PrEP. HIV prevention interventions incorporating main partners may be effective in increasing PrEP use.Keywords
