• Description:
  We aimed to identify provider encounter characteristics associated with awareness of and willingness to take PrEP among young urban minority males at higher risk for HIV acquisition. The 74 individuals included in this analysis from a cross-sectional survey of males aged 15-24 being seen at a Baltimore city clinic were those who identified as a man who had sex with men (MSM), reported injection drug use, were in a serodiscordant relationship, had a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the past 6 months, or reported condomless sex with a partner with unknown HIV status. Topics of provider-initiated conversations associated with willingness to take PrEP included one's sexual behavior (OR 7.35, 95% CI 2.23, 24.26), whether one had been hurt by a partner (OR 4.71, 95% CI 1.40, 15.87), and risk reduction (OR 6.91, 95% CI 2.10, 22.81). This study may yield new targets for provider-level interventions for increasing PrEP uptake.
