Building effective multilevel HIV prevention partnerships with Black men who have sex with men: experience from HPTN 073, a pre‐exposure prophylaxis study in three US cities

Résumé fourni par la source

The sub-population at greatest risk for HIV infection in the United States is Black men who have sex with men (BMSM), and there is an urgent need for effective HIV prevention interventions among them. Despite advances in biomedical and behavioural interventions, healthcare systems continue to fail to slow the epidemic among BMSM. This is particularly the case among young men, who have an estimated lifetime risk of HIV infection of up to 50%. It has been well demonstrated that tenfovir disiproxil fumarate (TDF) and emtricitabine (FTC) as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) are effective in protecting those at risk of HIV acquisition from sex or injection drug, but prescriptions to BMSM have sorely lagged behind other affected populations, including gay and bisexual White men.
