Transmasculine individuals who have sex with cisgender men (TMSM) remain an understudied population regarding pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We used electronic medical record data to assess PrEP eligibility and initiation in TMSM in a large LGBTQ+ focused federally qualified health center in Chicago, Illinois. We examined a sample of 430 TMSM from January 1, 2015 to December 31, 2019, and used logistic regression to model PrEP eligibility and initiation. Overall, 37% of participants were eligible for and 18% initiated PrEP. Eligibility was not associated with initiation. National PrEP guidance should be tailored to include transmasculine people.
与顺性别男性发生性行为的跨性别男性(TMSM)在暴露前预防(PrEP)方面仍然是一个研究不足的群体。我们利用电子病历数据,在伊利诺伊州芝加哥一家大型以LGBTQ+为重点的联邦合格健康中心评估TMSM的PrEP资格和开始使用情况。我们研究了2015年1月1日至2019年12月31日期间430名TMSM的样本,并使用逻辑回归对PrEP资格和开始使用情况进行建模。总体而言,37%的参与者符合PrEP资格,18%开始使用PrEP。资格与开始使用情况无关。国家PrEP指南应进行调整,将跨性别男性纳入其中。
