    Abstract Unlike antiretrovirals for HIV treatment, pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) does not require continual adherence to be fully effective; rather, PrEP adherence is important only in the context of episodes of sexual risk. Therefore, studies of PrEP adherence and persistence must incorporate contemporaneous measurement of sexual behavior. Short, frequent surveys of PrEP use and sexual behavior allow for the measurement of the alignment between PrEP use and sexual behavior. We assessed the feasibility of using biweekly PrEP use and sexual behavior questionnaires to measure adherence and persistence on PrEP over a period of four months. We also measured the alignment of PrEP use and condomless anal sex. PrEP-using MSM in the southern US were recruited using online advertisements. Participants completed a baseline survey followed by brief surveys every two weeks for 16 weeks to report their PrEP use and sexual behavior over the preceding two-week period. Study retention was high: 91% of participants completed the baseline and final survey and, overall, 86% of study surveys were completed. Self-reported PrEP adherence and persistence were high, but instances of PrEP non-adherence were observed to frequently overlap with episodes of condomless anal sex. The most prominent reasons cited for missing PrEP doses were being too busy, not having PrEP on hand, and not being sexually active. Completing short, biweekly surveys of PrEP use and sexual behavior is feasible and acceptable to MSM in the southern US. Future studies should investigate incorporating biomarker measurements to validate self-reported adherence.

    Abstract Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective HIV prevention intervention; however, most studies of PrEP adherence and persistence among men who have sex with men (MSM) have been conducted with MSM who live in urban areas. The experiences of PrEP-using MSM in non-urban areas might differ due to increased barriers to culturally competent care. We examined similarities and differences among urban and non-urban PrEP-using MSM in the southern United States, the region with the highest number of annual HIV diagnoses. We surveyed a total of 78 (

    Abstract Little is known about the effect of travel-related factors, such as mode of transportation, on retention in PrEP care, or PrEP persistence. We used data from the 2020 American Men's Internet Survey and conducted multilevel logistic regression to estimate the association between mode of transportation used for healthcare access and PrEP persistence among urban gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM) in the U.S. MSM using public transportation were less likely to report PrEP persistence (aOR: 0.51; 95% CI: 0.28-0.95) than MSM using private transportation. There were no significant associations between PrEP persistence and using active transportation (aOR: 0.67; 95% CI: 0.35-1.29) or multimodal transportation (aOR: 0.85; 95% CI: 0.51-1.43) compared to using private transportation. Transportation-related interventions and policies are needed to address structural barriers to accessing PrEP services and to improve PrEP persistence in urban areas.

    Abstract HIV self-testing (HIVST) provides an at-home option to counter the barriers that patients face with testing performed in health care settings. HIVST has gradually increased in popularity in a time when social media and technology-based solutions are preferred. In this paper, we consider the aspects of self-testing that merit its integration into HIV testing and prevention systems in the United States. Several elements favor self-testing for large-scale implementation, including ease of use, convenience, potential for integration with mobile health (mHealth), and availability for various modes of distribution. HIVST has a demonstrated ability to reach at-risk individuals who otherwise rarely test. The paradigm of self-testing, however, introduces new challenges, including lesser test performance relative to that in health care settings, nonstandard counseling following receipt of test results, and difficulty in providing linkage to care. After discussing the performance of oral fluid versus blood-based HIVST, we review data regarding acceptability of HIVST, offer insights into counseling and linkage to care for HIVST, and provide examples of novel applications of and future research directions for HIVST.

    Abstract Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) with tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine (TDF/FTC) is now accepted as an efficacious approach to preventing HIV acquisition among people at high risk of HIV infection but, in most places, PrEP uptake to date has not been sufficient to have a large effect on HIV incidence. In this paper we consider several key elements of the effort to expand PrEP uptake for at-risk populations who would benefit most, such as increasing access to PrEP, integrating PrEP programs with other services, promoting PrEP persistence and developing systems for monitoring PrEP use. We used a PrEP Continuum framework to describe barriers to equitable uptake of PrEP, and to illustrate possible solutions to barriers. Access to PrEP includes regulatory issues and geographic proximity to PrEP providers. Integrating PrEP programs with other comprehensive sexual health services, through clinic-based programs or technology-based approaches, offers opportunities to identify PrEP candidates and improve linkages to PrEP care. Once at-risk people are prescribed PrEP, lowering barriers to persistence on PrEP is critical to realising the most population benefits. To understand progress and identify underserved groups and communities, systems to monitor the uptake of PrEP are needed. Making the most of a new biomedical intervention tool requires ongoing research about implementation, scale-up through multiple channels, including community-based organisations, and high-quality monitoring of uptake. We must turn to questions of PrEP implementation and continue to seek innovative approaches to reduce barriers to PrEP uptake and persistence on PrEP.

    Abstract Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had unforeseen consequences on the delivery of HIV and sexually transmitted disease (STD) prevention services. However, little is known about how the pandemic has impacted pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)-using men who have sex with men (MSM).
    Methods: Data come from an online cohort of PrEP-using MSM in the Southern United States from October 2019 to July 2020. Participants were administered 10 surveys in total, including 1 ad hoc survey specifically on COVID-19. We conducted a cross-sectional analysis of this ad hoc survey (n = 56) and present changes in sexual behaviors and utilization of and access to sexual health services. Using linear mixed-effect regression models, we also analyzed data from the larger cohort and document how sexual behaviors and PrEP use varied longitudinally across several months.
    Results: A fifth of participants discontinued or changed how often they take PrEP because of COVID-19. A quarter of the cohort documented challenges when attempting to access PrEP, HIV testing, or STD testing. For all sexual behaviors examined longitudinally-number of male sexual partners, anal sex acts, condomless anal sex, and oral sex (all measured in the past 2 weeks)-there was a decrease from February to April followed by an increase from April to June.
    Discussion: Our findings suggest reduced access to and utilization of STD and HIV services coupled with a continuation of behaviors which confer STD/HIV risk. Ensuring appropriate delivery of STD/HIV prevention services during this pandemic is imperative.
