| Abstract: |
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is underutilized among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) in the Southern United States. We assessed comfort receiving PrEP at various locations among 65 BMSM. Chi-square and t-tests explored associations between demographics, experienced homophobia and racism, and comfort receiving PrEP. BMSM with greater experienced homophobia were less comfortable at academically affiliated clinics [X2(2, N = 59) = 10.61, p = 0.01], CBOs [X2(3, N = 59) = 10.02, p = 0.02], and STI/HIV clinics [X2(3, N = 59) = 8.63, p = 0.04]. Those with greater experienced racism were more comfortable receiving PrEP by mail [X2(3, N = 61) = 9.40, p = 0.02]. Homophobia and racism influence preferences of BMSM for where and how they receive PREP care. Private modes of PrEP delivery and interventions targeting provider and organizational bias should be explored. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
