Abstract
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has demonstrated high efficacy to reduce HIV infections, however, racial/ethnic HIV disparities continue among black MSM. The purpose of this review was to assess available data to inform interventions to increase PrEP awareness, uptake, and adherence among black MSM. Of the 3024 studies retrieved, 36 met final inclusion criteria and were categorized into the PrEP care continuum: (1) awareness (n = 16), (2) uptake (n = 9), and (3) adherence (n = 12). Only 26 of the studies presented analytical findings by race/ethnicity. Key barrier themes included cost, HIV-related stigma, and fear of potential side effects. A key facilitator theme identified by black MSM included gaining PrEP awareness from social and sexual networks. There are significant gaps in research on black MSM and PrEP utilization, especially regarding PrEP uptake and adherence. These data are needed to inform interventions to address current inequities in PrEP services, to help improve care outcomes for black MSM.
