摘要
This study assessed pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness, knowledge, and attitudes in a sample of 1389 men who have sex with men (MSM). Using a self-report survey, we measured PrEP knowledge mean scores, attitudes toward PrEP, and awareness rates to identify the key influences on PrEP uptake. PrEP awareness among participants was 66.3%, with 33.7% having never heard of PrEP. Approximately 4.5% had previous experience with PrEP but were not current users, while only 2.7% reported that they were currently taking it. Logistic regression analysis revealed that the significant predictors of PrEP awareness were educational attainment, marital status, prior HIV testing knowledge, and attitudes toward PrEP. Several demographic factors were not significant predictors of intention to use PrEP; however, using the internet to meet partners, number of partners, HIV testing, positive attitudes, and reduced perceived barriers played a critical role in shaping PrEP use intentions. These findings highlight the critical role of targeted educational strategies and tailored public health messaging in enhancing the awareness and intention to use PrEP among MSM.
