: When combining results from all published surveys, about one in nine global study participants (10.7%) reported ever using preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) by 2017, a significant increase since US FDA approval in 2012 [odds ratio (OR) = 1.6/year, P < 0.00001]. Moreover, nearly one in six US-based study participants (17.3%) and nearly one in four MSM who met the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's PrEP indications (24.5%) reported ever using PrEP by 2016. The odds of reporting PrEP use are approximately doubling each year (OR = 1.8/year, P < 0.00001; OR = 2.0/year, P < 0.00001).

Minoritized racial, ethnic, sexual, and gender communities and populations face profound health disparities and their engagement in research remains low. In a randomized controlled trial, our community-based participatory research partnership tested the efficacy of ChiCAS, an HIV prevention intervention designed to increase pre-exposure prophylaxis use among Spanish-speaking transgender Latinas. Of 161 eligible Spanish-speaking transgender Latinas screened, we enrolled 144, achieving an 89% participation rate, and retained 94% at 6-month follow-up.

Introduction: Oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective biomedical intervention for HIV prevention, but its access and utilisation are challenging, especially in high-burden settings such as Kenya. For potential PrEP users, long delays and repeated consultations with several providers are obstacles to both PrEP uptake and continuation. The One-Stop PrEP Care project aims to promote the use of PrEP among clients in the health system and enhance client satisfaction by reducing the waiting time.

In the U.S., HIV diagnoses have remained steady over the past decade - despite the availability of condoms and pre-exposure prophylaxis.

Introduction: HIV-negative adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), and men (ABYM), have disproportionately high HIV incidence in many African countries. We used a new HIV Prevention Cascade (HPC) approach to quantify levels of, and barriers to, prevention method use to guide interventions to increase effective uptake of primary HIV prevention.
Methods: Data from the Manicaland HPC pilot study (2018-19; n=9803) in Zimbabwe were used to measure levels of sexual risk behaviour and construct HPCs for male condom, pre-exposure prophylaxis (females), voluntary medical male circumcision (males) and combination prevention use by HIV-negative sexually active AGYW (15-24 years) and male partners (15-29 years).

Introduction: HIV risk perception is seen as a key motivation for individuals to use biomedical HIV prevention interventions, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We determined HIV risk perception and associated factors among pregnant and breastfeeding women in Lusaka, Zambia.
Methodology: We conducted a cross sectional study among pregnant and breastfeeding women not living with HIV in a hospital setting in Lusaka, Zambia.
