Abstract

Abstract

Objective To understand the knowledge awareness and its influencing factors of HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among men who have sex with men (MSM) in different cities and years. Methods In 2019 and 2021, an electronic questionnaire was used to collect information including sociodemographic characteristics, PrEP knowledge awareness, and behavior characteristics of MSM in Beijing, Shenzhen, and Kunming. Questionnaires were collected by community organizations. Then the influencing factors of PrEP knowledge awareness were analyzed. Results A total of 4 889 questionnaires were collected in the three cities, including 2 399 in 2019 and 2 490 in 2021. The knowledge awareness rates of PrEP in 2019 and 2021 were 6.29% and 25.02% respectively. In 2019, multivariate logistic regression analysis model showed that ages (25- < 34 years old: OR=1.685, 95% CI: 1.007-2.821; ≥ 35 years old: OR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.156-3.497), consulted PrEP (OR=1.731, 95% CI: 1.050-2.855), heard of PEP (Post-exposure prophylaxis) (OR=3.178, 95% CI: 2.079-4.860) were related to the PrEP knowledge awareness. In 2021, multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that education (universities or colleges: OR=3.291, 95% CI: 1.595-6.793; master degree or above: OR=4.507, 95% CI: 2.104-9.652), consulted PrEP (OR=2.591, 95% CI: 1.906-3.521), heard of PEP (OR=5.855, 95% CI: 3.071-11.161), used PEP (OR=1.619, 95% CI: 1.191-2.200), used stimulant (OR=0.623, 95% CI: 0.492-0.789), tested HIV in a year (3-4 times: OR=2.140, 95% CI: 1.265-3.619; ≥5: OR=3.414, 95% CI: 1.987-5.865) were related to the PrEP knowledge awareness. Conclusions PrEP knowledge awareness in 2021 has increased significantly compared with 2019 among MSM, but remained low overall. The age, education, HIV testing times, knowledge awareness and uptake of PEP were related to the PrEP knowledge awareness. Comprehensive measures should be continued to strengthen the publicity and education of PrEP to MSM and improve their correct understanding of PrEP.
