What are the key study findings? ¥ 51.9% of GBM living with HIV and 48.5% HIV-negative GBM had heard of nPEP. ¥ 3% of HIV-negative GBM who reported recent high-risk sex had used nPEP. ¥ Among HIV-negative GBM, nPEP awareness was higher among participants who were students, Caucasian, had used alcohol recently, had more sex partners, attended group sex parties, had been previously diagnosed with an STI, and identified as gay as opposed to bisexual. ¥ Among HIV-positive GBM, nPEP awareness was higher among participants who were Caucasian, had greater access to condoms, only had condomless sex with partners of the same HIV status, and had greater perceived agency to ask sexual partners their HIV status.
