Evaluating the Usability of an HIV Prevention Artificial Intelligence Chatbot in Malaysia: National Observational Study

Evaluating the Usability of an HIV Prevention Artificial Intelligence Chatbot in Malaysia: National Observational Study

The frequency of evaluations during a single interaction varied randomly; there were occasions when the chatbot assessed participants’ satisfaction multiple times but on different topics (eg, HIV testing, Pr EP, and mental health). Specifically, the frequency of satisfaction evaluations about the usefulness of the information on HIV testing, Pr EP, and mental health was 53, 52, and 32, respectively.

Intention to Use Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among Age Groups of Brazilian Men Who Have Sex With Men: National Cross-Sectional Study

Intention to Use Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among Age Groups of Brazilian Men Who Have Sex With Men: National Cross-Sectional Study

HIV prevention efforts, such as pre-exposure prophylaxis (Pr EP), often focus predominantly on young MSM, while there is limited literature on the subject regarding older MSM [15,23]. Pr EP has been shown to be effective in preventing HIV among MSM of all ages. For instance, a study conducted in the United States demonstrated that Pr EP is equally effective among young MSM (aged 18‐25 y) and older MSM (aged 26‐50 y) [24].

Likelihood of Leveraging Augmented Reality Technology to Promote HIV Prevention and Treatment Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Cameroon: Cross-Sectional Survey

Likelihood of Leveraging Augmented Reality Technology to Promote HIV Prevention and Treatment Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women in Cameroon: Cross-Sectional Survey

Under this backdrop, it is necessary to develop and test innovative, effective, and culturally appropriate approaches to enhance efforts in fighting against HIV in Cameroon, reduce health disparities, and promote HIV testing and pre-exposure prophylaxis (Pr EP) use among adolescent girls and young women [12].

Preventing Premature Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Discontinuation and Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Men Who Have Sex With Men (Project PEACH): Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study

Preventing Premature Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Discontinuation and Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Men Who Have Sex With Men (Project PEACH): Protocol for a Prospective Cohort Study

Despite this, current estimates of coverage of Pr EP among Pr EP-eligible MSM fall short of the sustained 30%-50% coverage of Pr EP among MSM that would be required to produce substantial decreases in new HIV infections [2,3]. Pr EP use also varies widely geographically and by race.

Evaluation of the Tu’Washindi Na PrEP Intervention to Reduce Gender-Based Violence and Increase Preexposure Prophylaxis Uptake and Adherence Among Kenyan Adolescent Girls and Young Women: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

Evaluation of the Tu’Washindi Na PrEP Intervention to Reduce Gender-Based Violence and Increase Preexposure Prophylaxis Uptake and Adherence Among Kenyan Adolescent Girls and Young Women: Protocol for a Cluster Randomized Controlled Trial

In western Kenya, a study of adolescent girls and young women attending family planning clinics found that 76% met Pr EP eligibility criteria, but only 4% initiated Pr EP [16], and the proportion of adolescent girls and young women persisting with Pr EP for 3 months postinitiation ranged from 5% to 37% across studies [7,10,11,15,17]. In samples of Pr EP users at an average of 6 months postinitiation, only 4% to 8% had tenofovir diphosphate (TFVdp) levels suggesting high adherence [4-6].

Developing and Implementing Provider-Training and Evidence-Based Tools to Support Pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Decision-Making and Increase PrEP Adherence Among Young Men Who Have Sex With Men: Protocol for the PrEP Choice Longitudinal Cohort Study

Clinical trials of sexual event-driven Pr EP regimens or 2-1-1 Pr EP using F/TDF have demonstrated it to be highly effective for HIV prevention among MSM [3,4]. These options provide MSM with choices about their preferred Pr EP regimen; however, little is known about the Pr EP choices men make, their switching between Pr EP options, and the reasons for these decisions. Pr EP coverage continues to increase markedly among men [5].

A Multicomponent Strategy to Improve HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in a Southern US Jail: Protocol for a Type 3 Hybrid Implementation-Effectiveness Trial

A Multicomponent Strategy to Improve HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis in a Southern US Jail: Protocol for a Type 3 Hybrid Implementation-Effectiveness Trial

The Pr EP-to-need ratio, defined as the number of Pr EP users divided by new HIV diagnoses [14], is lower in the South than in any other region, particularly among racial and ethnic minorities, further highlighting inequitable access [15]. To decrease HIV incidence, there is a need to improve Pr EP use in populations most heavily impacted by HIV.

Improving Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Provision as Part of Routine Gynecologic Care Among Black Cisgender Women (Project PrEP4Her): Protocol for the Implementation of an Intervention

Improving Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Provision as Part of Routine Gynecologic Care Among Black Cisgender Women (Project PrEP4Her): Protocol for the Implementation of an Intervention

In addition, in 2021, Alabama had a Pr EP-to-Need ratio of 5.55, with the highest unmet need for Pr EP occurring among the Black community (Pr EP-to-need ratio among Black vs White individuals: 2.94:11.30) [9]. When focusing on cisgender women, who account for approximately one-fifth of new HIV diagnoses in the United States, only 8% of the 227,010 women with a Pr EP indication are currently receiving Pr EP prescriptions [10-13].

The mChoice App, an mHealth Tool for the Monitoring of Preexposure Prophylaxis Adherence and Sexual Behaviors in Young Men Who Have Sex With Men: Usability Evaluation

Preexposure prophylaxis (Pr EP) is a highly effective biomedical prevention strategy to reduce HIV incidence and curb the HIV epidemic [3-10]. When taken as prescribed (daily or at least 4 times per week), Pr EP reduces HIV transmission by up to 99% among MSM [7-9,11-13].
