OBJECTIVETo analyze willingness and influencing factors for usage of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among men who have sex with men (MSM).

METHODS887 men who were older than 18 years old and used to have sex with men were recruited through internet between November 27 and December 17, 2013. Data were collected through self designed questionnaire, which was designed to collect information including demography features, willingness of usage of PrEP and associated factors.

RESULTSTotally 760 qualified questionnaires were collected. The ages of surveyed MSM were between 18 and 60, 58.2% (442) were single, 78.9% (600) of them have received college education, 60.4% (459) received annual income less than 60 000 yuan, 73.3% (557) only had sex with men and 77.2% (587) self reported being gay. 32.1% (243/758) of the respondent MSM said they would like to use PrEP. 61.0% (305/500) would like or possibly to take PrEP orally each day. 70.9% (354/499) would keep the same condom using frequency as current situation after using PrEP. In the univariate analysis, the willingness of taking PrEP was ('(2) = 27.61, P < 0.001) lower among those annual income less than 60 000 yuan (27.7% (127/458)) than those annual income higher (44.7% (116/260)); the willingness was significantly ('(2) = 10.99, P = 0.001) higher among those understanding PrEP (35.4% (196/554)) than those not understanding (22.8% (44/206)). In multivariate logistic regression analysis, it suggested that annual income under 60 000 yuan (OR = 0.64 (95% CI: 0.45-0.92)) and understanding PrEP (OR = 1.98 (95% CI: 1.36-2.88)) were influencing factors for usage of PrEP among MSM.

CONCLUSIONMSM didn't understand the PrEP sufficiently currently, economic consideration and worries about the side effects will affect their willingness of using PrEP.
