HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)- knowledge and attitudes among a New York City emergency department patient population
HIV Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP), in which HIV-negative individuals receive antiretroviral medications to prevent HIV acquisition, has shown potential as a means to reduce HIV incidence among high-risk persons. The acceptability of PrEP among at-risk persons will strongly impact the effectiveness of PrEP. This study aimed to assess knowledge and attitudes towards PrEP within a demographically-mixed community with high HIV prevalence.
