HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a cornerstone of the Ending the HIV Epidemic plan. We evaluated sociodemographic factors associated with PrEP use in jurisdictions with high HIV diagnosis rates between the initial years of PrEP rollout in the U.S. Data were abstracted from AIDSVu, U.S. Census Bureau, and Massachusetts Institute of Technology Election Lab data for years 2012-2019. Linear mixed methods modeling was used to correlate county-level PrEP rates and correlational analysis for state-level PrEP rates (PrEP use per 100,000 persons) with year, HIV diagnoses, income, insurance coverage, proportion of Democratic votes for president in 2020, race, and geographic location. Sociodemographic factors such as income, race, and political affiliation were significantly associated with county- and state-level PrEP use. Further research to understand policy differences that lead to inequitable provision of PrEP is needed.
艾滋病病毒暴露前预防(PrEP)是“终结艾滋病流行”计划的基石。我们评估了在美国PrEP推广初期,艾滋病诊断率高的辖区内与PrEP使用相关的社会人口学因素。数据取自2012 - 2019年的AIDSVu、美国人口普查局和麻省理工学院选举实验室的数据。采用线性混合方法建模,将县级PrEP使用率以及州级PrEP使用率(每10万人中的PrEP使用情况)与年份、艾滋病诊断数、收入、保险覆盖情况、2020年总统选举中民主党选票比例、种族和地理位置进行相关性分析。收入、种族和政治归属等社会人口学因素与县级和州级PrEP使用显著相关。需要进一步开展研究,以了解导致PrEP供应不平等的政策差异。
