Increased awareness of event-driven PrEP and knowledge of how to use it: results from a cross-sectional survey of gay and bisexual men in Australia

Curtis Chan, Doug Fraser, Andrew E. Grulich, Steven Philpot, Matthew Vaughan, Michael Wacher, Benjamin R. Bavinton Event-driven pre-exposure prophylaxis (ED-PrEP) is effective at preventing HIV among cis gay and bisexual men. We found in a survey of gay and bisexual men who had heard of PrEP, just over two-thirds (68%) had heard of ED-PrEP, and of those who had heard of it, less than half (44%) knew how to take ED-PrEP correctly as per clinical guidelines. We recommend further work to increase awareness and knowledge of ED-PrEP to promote effective use to prevent HIV infection.
