Abstract
We conducted a street-based intercept survey with 480 men reporting sex with men during June 2011 Gay Pride events in New York City. Awareness and knowledge of preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) were limited. Many men believed that PrEP use should be encouraged and that some of their friends would use it, and were interested in using it themselves. Men who believed that PrEP should be taken only before sex were more likely to endorse it and report greater likelihood of use.This publication has 8 references indexed in Scilit:
