Abstract:
Objective:To examine the willingness of HIV non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) among MSM and factors related were also assessed.Methods:The respondent-driven sampling method was used to recruit MSM for a face-to-face interview with a structured questionnaire,the sample size was estimated at 600 subjects. Demographic data, sexual behavior, awareness, and willingness regarding nPEP were collected. The factors related to willingness to nPEP were assessed using complex logistic regression.Results:A total of 14 rounds were recruited and 608 MSM subjects were included in the study. The average age was (41.6±11.0) years. 55.4% (95% CI: 49.4%-59.4%) were aware of nPEP, and 4.5% (95% CI: 2.9%-6.2%) have used its. 35.9% (95% CI: 31.1%-40.7%) expressed interest in taking nPEP if needed. Among the reasons for not being willing to take nPEP, 68.9% (244/354) were never heard of nPEP, and 24.6% (87/354) were a fluke mentality. The multivariate logistic analysis results showed that the willingness of nPEP awareness of MSM was related to the group aged 25-39 years old (a OR=1.80, 95% CI: 1.01-3.20), knowing a group of HIV prevention knowledge (a OR=2.43, 95% CI: 1.52-3.90), group of consistent condom use in anal sex in the past half of year (a OR=1.76, 95% CI: 1.11-2.79). Conclusions:The use rate of nPEP among MSM in Beijing was low, and the willingness to use in the future also needs to be improved. The training of social organizations should be strengthened to improve the role of peer education in promoting nPEP.
