Interest in event-driven PrEP among men who have sex with men using daily PrEP in Mexico in 2019-2020: a cross-sectional assessment in a large-scale demonstration project.

This study aimed to evaluate the interest in event-driven PrEP (ED-PrEP) among men who have sex with men (MSM) using daily PrEP in Mexico's PrEP demonstration project between 2019 and 2020. We compared participants interested or not in ED-PrEP during their first-month visit and identified associated factors. Of 1,021 MSM attending their first-month visit, 7% had previous knowledge of ED-PrEP, but 40% were interested in ED-PrEP.

HIV Care Disengagement and Antiretroviral Treatment Discontinuation in Mexico: A Qualitative Study Based on the Ecological Model Among Men Who Have Sex With Men.

In 2018, 24% of Mexican men living with HIV were disengaged from HIV care, which impedes their use of antiretroviral treatment (ART). To identify HIV care disengagement and/or ART discontinuation factors using an ecological framework, we conducted 22 semi-structured interviews with men who have sex with men from the HIV state clinic of Tabasco, Mexico. HIV care disengagement was attributed to interpersonal, organizational, and community factors, whereas ART discontinuation was attributed to intrapersonal and interpersonal factors.
