Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is highly effective at preventing HIV acquisition and is a critical tool in the Ending the HIV Epidemic in the U.S. initiative. However, major racial and ethnic disparities across the pre-exposure prophylaxis continuum, secondary to structural inequities and systemic racism, threaten progress. Many barriers, operating at the individual, network, healthcare, and structural levels, impede PrEP access and uptake within Black and Hispanic/Latino communities. This review provides an overview of those barriers and the innovative and collaborative solutions that health departments, healthcare organizations, and community partners have implemented to increase PrEP provision and uptake among disproportionately affected communities. Promising strategies at the individual and network levels focus on increasing patient support throughout the PrEP continuum, positioning and training community members to expand knowledge of and interest in PrEP, and leveraging mobile technologies to support PrEP uptake. Healthcare-level solutions include expanding the venues and types of healthcare professionals that can provide PrEP, and structural- and policy-level options focus on financial assistance programs and health insurance expansion. Key research gaps include demonstrating that pilot studies and interventions remain effective at scale and across varied contexts. Although the last 2 decades have provided effective tools to end the HIV epidemic, realizing this vision for the U.S. will require addressing persistent and pervasive HIV-related disparities in Black and Hispanic/Latino communities. Federal, state, and local partners should expand efforts to address longstanding health and structural inequities and partner with disproportionately affected communities to rapidly expand PrEP scale-up.
暴露前预防 (PrEP) 在预防 HIV 感染方面非常有效,是终结美国艾滋病疫情倡议中的重要工具。然而,由于结构性不平等和系统性种族主义,在暴露前预防连续体中存在着严重的种族和族裔差异,这威胁到了进展。许多障碍,包括个人、网络、医疗保健和结构层面的障碍,阻碍了黑人社区和西班牙裔/拉丁裔社区获得和采用 PrEP。本综述概述了这些障碍,以及卫生部门、医疗保健组织和社区合作伙伴为增加不成比例受影响社区的 PrEP 供应和采用而实施的创新和协作解决方案。在个人和网络层面上有前途的策略侧重于在整个 PrEP 连续体中增加患者支持,定位和培训社区成员以扩大对 PrEP 的了解和兴趣,并利用移动技术来支持 PrEP 的采用。医疗保健层面的解决方案包括扩大可以提供 PrEP 的场所和类型的医疗保健专业人员,并关注财务援助计划和医疗保险扩大等结构和政策层面的选择。关键的研究差距包括证明试点研究和干预措施在规模和不同背景下仍然有效。尽管过去 20 年提供了有效工具来终结艾滋病疫情,但要实现美国的这一愿景,就需要解决黑人社区和西班牙裔/拉丁裔社区中持续存在的、普遍存在的与艾滋病相关的差异。联邦、州和地方合作伙伴应加大力度解决长期存在的健康和结构性不平等问题,并与不成比例受影响的社区合作,迅速扩大 PrEP 的推广规模。
