Article Synopsis
- Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can greatly reduce HIV transmission among Black women in the U.S., but uptake remains low due to various influencing factors.
- A systematic review analyzed 24 peer-reviewed studies on PrEP willingness, identifying three main domains: demographic/social factors (e.g., age, education), behavioral factors (e.g., condomless sex), and enabling factors (e.g., access to healthcare).
- The study highlights the complex nature of barriers and facilitators to PrEP use, emphasizing the need for customized health strategies that address these interconnected factors to improve health equity among Black women.
