HIV/AIDS remains a significant public health challenge in China, particularly among men who have sex with men (MSM). Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and non-occupational post-exposure Prophylaxis (nPEP) are effective interventions to reduce HIV transmission in high-risk populations. This study assessed awareness and utilization levels of PrEP and nPEP among young MSM (YMSM) aged 18-29 in China and examined associated factors.

Timely initiation of antiretroviral therapy (ART) for non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) is crucial in preventing HIV infection and advancing efforts to end the HIV epidemic (EHE). nPEP must be administered within 72 h of high-risk exposure, ideally within 24 h. Pharmacies may play a role in increasing access to nPEP and facilitating referrals for additional care, such as PrEP.

Background: The effectiveness of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) in preventing HIV is well-established, yet their use in clinical practice remains low. Healthcare providers, especially those in primary and emergency care settings, play a crucial role in adopting and implementing these prevention strategies. We conducted a statewide survey with 519 healthcare providers in Texas to assess their knowledge, practices, and barriers related to prescribing PrEP and nPEP.

Introduction: Post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) is an efficacious prevention method when initiated promptly after an HIV exposure. Yet, PEP has been underutilized, even among healthcare workers (HCWs) with occupational exposure in sites with PEP policies and procedures and access to PEP medications. It is important to understand the dynamics of uneven PEP use in what appears to be an optimal context to better protect the health and wellbeing of HCWs.
