This study aimed to estimate the size of the population of men who have sex with men (MSM) in Florida with high-risk behaviors that would indicate eligibility for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use.
Three methods were used to estimate the MSM population. Estimates from the three methods were averaged, and the number of MSM living with HIV in each zone improvement plan (ZIP) code was subtracted.
The average MSM estimate was 1-2184 men (1.5-22.9%) by ZIP code. The size of the MSM population with indications for PrEP use was highest when using estimates of MSM with more than one sex partner in the past year obtained from the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance system and lowest when the MSM estimate was multiplied by 24.7% (percentage of MSM with PrEP indications from other studies).
Areas with high numbers of MSM with PrEP indications could be targeted with information to reduce HIV acquisition.
本研究旨在估计佛罗里达州具有高风险行为的男男性行为者(MSM)人群规模,这些行为表明他们有资格使用暴露前预防(PrEP)。
使用三种方法来估计 MSM 人群。三种方法的估计值取平均值,并从每个区域改进计划(ZIP)代码中减去患有 HIV 的 MSM 人数。
按邮政编码计算,MSM 的平均估计人数为 1-2184 人(1.5-22.9%)。当使用国家艾滋病毒行为监测系统中过去一年有多个性伴侣的 MSM 的估计值时,具有 PrEP 使用指征的 MSM 人群规模最大,而当 MSM 估计值乘以 24.7%(来自其他研究的 MSM 具有 PrEP 指征的百分比)时,该规模最小。
可以针对具有高数量的 MSM 且有 PrEP 指征的地区提供信息,以减少 HIV 的传播。
