  • Understanding Psychosocial Determinants of PrEP Uptake Among Cisgender Women Experiencing Heightened HIV Risk

    Open AccessShawnika J Hull, Xuejing Duan et al.ARTICLEHealth Communication2023

    Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective daily pill that decreases the likelihood of HIV acquisition by up to 92% among individuals at risk for HIV. PrEP can be discretely used, autonomously controlled, and in place at the time of risk exposure, making it an especially promising method for HIV prevention for cisgender women (CGW). But, PrEP is underutilized by CGW relative to the demonstrable need. We apply the Integrative Model of B…

    Our findings highlight the importance of multilevel, clinic-based interventions for cisgender women, which promote sex-positive and preventive PrEP messaging, peer navigation to destigmatize PrEP, and education and support for women's health medical providers in the provision of PrEP services for cisgender women

Among pregnant women, mean age was 26.9 years; the majority were B…
