Logistic regression modeling tested associations between baseline psychosocial provider-level and organization-level characteristics and frequency of PrEP education at baseline and 1-year follow-up.Key ResultsOut of 245 participants, the number of psychosocial providers offering PrEP education at least once in the past 6 months increased significantly from baseline (n = 127, 51.8%) to 1-year follow-up (n = 161, 65.7%). To identify predictors of psychosocial providers offering PrEP education to patients vulnerable to HIV infection by determining the frequency with which psychosocial providers offer PrEP education to patients.DesignLongitudinal overview of PrEP implementation in New York City.ParticipantsPsychosocial providers of HIV prevention and adjunct treatment services, such as medication adherence counseling in 34 community settings.Main MeasuresLongitudinal survey data collected in 2014–2016 (baseline) and 2015–2017 (1-year follow-up) from a 5-year longitudinal repeated measures study. Providers of social and public health services (“psychosocial providers”) can help improve this situation by educating patients about PrEP before linking them to primary care providers (PCPs).Objective Low levels of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake continue among the most vulnerable (e.g., men who have sex with men) for HIV exposure in the USA.
