Abstract

Client-level data from two Tennessee-based PrEP navigation demonstration projects reported to the Tennessee Department of Health from January to December 2017 were evaluated to determine the proportion of clients who accepted, were linked to, and were prescribed PrEP. Disparities by age, race, transmission risk, and geographic region as well as trends over time were examined via bivariate and multivariable modified Poisson regression models accounting for potential confounders. Among 1385 PrEP-eligible individuals, 50.5% accepted, 33.4% were linked, and 27.3% were prescribed PrEP. PrEP uptake varied by age, race, and HIV transmission risk, and most disparities persisted across Tennessee throughout evaluation period. Multivariable regression models revealed significant independent associations between age, race/ethnicity, transmission risk, and region and PrEP acceptance and linkage. While differences in PrEP acceptance by race narrowed over time, success among black MSM was limited, underscoring a significant need to improve upstream PrEP continuum outcomes for this important population.

Keynote webinar | Spotlight on medication adherence

Live: Thursday 27th June 2024, 18:00-19:30 (CEST)

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
