Why is this study important? ¥ Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM) account for about half of new HIV infections in Canada. ¥ Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an emerging biomedical HIV prevention tool for GBM and is approved for use in Canada, but does not currently receive public funding outside Quebec. ¥ This study aimed to evaluate awareness of PrEP among GBM living in Vancouver using data from 2012 to 2014.
