Background: Significant racial disparities exist in HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) coverage in the United States (U.S), with Black individuals experiencing seven times higher new HIV infection rates compared to their White counterparts. Despite being the highest priority population at risk for HIV, Black adults have the lowest PrEP coverage, impacting the overall progress toward meeting the ending the HIV epidemic (EHE) goals in the U.S. Methods: Utilizing the Walker and Avant method, this concept analysis examined existing literature and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention resources to explore HIV PrEP coverage. Results: Findings highlighted a lack of clarity in the concept, resulting in four operational definitions. To address this ambiguity, a conceptual definition of HIV PrEP coverage was proposed, focusing on equitable access to PrEP medication among sexually active individuals aged 18-64 years, particularly those traditionally underserved and would benefit from PrEP. This inclusive definition aims to align with the dynamics of sexual behavior in racial minority groups. Key attributes of this conceptual definition include estimates of PrEP use, access, need, cost, side effects, frequency of HIV testing, and self-efficacy. Antecedents entail HIV status, testing behaviors, transmission risks, and communication with health care providers. Consequences involve perceptions of risk, screening routines, provider biases, stigma, and potential HIV transmission reduction. Conclusion: Analyzing HIV PrEP coverage offers useful insights into social and structural factors exacerbating health inequities in the field of HIV prevention and control. This concept analysis underscores the importance of unified sexual health communication, diverse approaches to PrEP access for racial minorities, and improved sexual health policies for Black adults. Moreover, understanding and advocating for equity in HIV PrEP coverage is crucial for addressing the existing racial disparities and achieving the EHE objectives in the U.S
