Dyadic Influences on Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Use and Attitudes Among Male Couples
Abstract Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) affords an opportunity to significantly reduce the risk of HIV infection among male couples. We used cross-sectional dyadic data from 382 concordant-negative male couples to examine demographic and relationship characteristics associated with current PrEP use, willingness to use PrEP in the future, and perceived ability to adhere to PrEP using Actor–Partner Independence Models. Few partnered men reported currently using PrEP (16.4%) and 57.7% of non-users reported being unlikely to use PrEP in the future. Actor and partner perceptions of PrEP stigma significantly reduced PrEP use and perceptions of willingness to use PrEP or the ability to adhere to PrEP, while perceiving a higher prevalence of HIV among men was associated with significant increases in PrEP use, willingness and perceived ability to adhere. Perceptions that more friends would support PrEP use were also significantly associated with increases in willingness and perceived ability to adhere to PrEP. Dyadic interventions are needed to provide couples the skills to communicate about HIV risk and prevention, and address myths around the protective effect of relationships against HIV acquisition..
