Black men who have sex with men (BMSM) with a recent STI diagnosis are at particularly high risk for HIV infection and, as such, are a population for whom we must focus our antiretroviral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) implementation efforts. Understanding the factors that are associated with awareness and use of PrEP among BMSM with a recent STI diagnosis is a critical component of meeting our HIV prevention goals. For the current study, BMSM ( N = 209) diagnosed with a STI in the past year residing in the Atlanta, Georgia metropolitan and surrounding areas were assessed on PrEP awareness and use, HIV risk behaviors ( e.g., condomless anal intercourse) HIV risk perceptions, HIV treatment optimism, and HIV status communication self-efficacy. BMSM aware of PrEP ( n = 152, 72.7%) were younger in age (OR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.93-0.98, p = 0.030) and had significantly higher educational attainment (OR = 1.96, 95% CI: 1.28-3.02, p = 0.027) than PrEP unaware participants. In addition, participants who were aware of PrEP had significantly higher levels of HIV risk perceptions (OR = 1.27, 95% CI: 1.04-1.56, p = 0.019) than PrEP unaware participants. Finally, participants who had ever used PrEP ( n = 15, 7.1%) had significantly higher HIV treatment optimism (OR = 1.55, 95% CI: 1.05-2.96, p = 0.034) than PrEP non-users. The present study showed that, while nearly three-fourths of the sample were PrEP aware, PrEP use among BMSM with STI diagnoses was limited and that PrEP is utilized less often by individuals who have less HIV treatment optimism. These findings call attention to the need to better understand how to effectively target PrEP uptake strategies for key populations
