Little is known about HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) acceptability among men who have sex with men (MSM) in Thailand. The authors recruited an online convenience sample of Thai MSM (n = 404) to assess the knowledge of and interest in PrEP. Less than 7% had heard of PrEP; however, 35% indicated interest in PrEP after an explanation of its possible efficacy. Regression modeling demonstrated that HIV knowledge and risk behavior, but not demographics, are significant predictors of PrEP interest. More information and education about PrEP is necessary and more research is needed to examine PrEP acceptability and to inform the message for PrEP uptake.
对于泰国男男性行为者（MSM）中艾滋病病毒暴露前预防（PrEP）的可接受性，人们知之甚少。作者招募了一个泰国男男性行为者的在线便利样本（n = 404），以评估他们对PrEP的了解和兴趣。不到7%的人听说过PrEP；然而，在解释了PrEP可能的功效后，35%的人表示对PrEP感兴趣。回归模型表明，艾滋病病毒知识和风险行为而非人口统计学因素是PrEP兴趣的重要预测因素。有必要提供更多关于PrEP的信息和教育，并且需要更多研究来检验PrEP的可接受性，并为推广PrEP提供信息。
