title = "Prevalence and Correlates of PrEP Awareness and Use Among Black Men Who Have Sex with Men and Women (MSMW) in the United States",
abstract = "Men who have sex with men and women (MSMW), including those who are Black, experience HIV-related disparities compared to men who have sex with men only (MSMO). Few studies have assessed the prevalence and correlates of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness and use among Black MSMW. We recruited MSM ≥ 18 attending Black Gay Pride events between 2014–2017. We conducted multivariable logistic regressions to assess differences in PrEP awareness and use among HIV-negative Black MSM (n = 2398) and within Black MSMW (n = 419). MSMW were less likely than MSMO to report PrEP awareness (p < 0.001). Among PrEP-aware MSM, MSMW were more likely than MSMO to report PrEP use (p < 0.05). MSMW receiving gay community support were more likely to be PrEP-aware (p < 0.01). MSMW reporting any past-year STI diagnoses were more likely to report PrEP use (p < 0.01). Findings suggest that PrEP awareness campaigns tailored for Black MSMW, concomitant with STI-to-PrEP interventions, will facilitate greater PrEP uptake in this population.",
