This study used Behavioral Model for Vulnerable Populations (BMVP) to identify factors associated with pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation among women who inject drugs (WWID) when PrEP was offered at a syringe services program (SSP). Participants ( = 89) were WWID, $ge18 years, and eligible for PrEP. Most (69) initiated PrEP. Chi square and tests were used to identify bivariate relationships between BMVP factors and PrEP initiation. A greater proportion of PrEP initiators (compared to non-initiators) reported sexual assault, frequent SSP attendance, earning $ge$5,000 annually and inconsistent condom use. Findings can inform the development of gender-specific strategies to promote PrEP among WWID.
本研究采用脆弱人群行为模型(BMVP)来识别在注射毒品女性(WWID)接受针具交换项目(SSP)提供的暴露前预防(PrEP)时,与 PrEP 起始相关的因素。参与者(n=89)为 WWID,年龄≥18 岁,且符合 PrEP 资格。大多数(69 人)开始使用 PrEP。采用卡方检验和 t 检验来识别 BMVP 因素与 PrEP 起始之间的双变量关系。与未使用者相比,更多的 PrEP 使用者(相比未使用者)报告了性侵犯、频繁到 SSP 就诊、每年收入≥$ge$5000 元和不一致使用安全套。这些发现可以为制定针对 WWID 的促进 PrEP 策略提供信息。
