Underutilization of Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Services Among Transgender and Nonbinary Youth: Findings from Project Moxie and TechStep

We use quantitative and qualitative data from two ongoing studies to describe pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness, willingness to use PrEP, barriers to facilitators of PrEP uptake, and PrEP use among 15- to 24-year-old transgender and gender nonbinary (TGNB) youth. Most youth were aware of PrE...

description We use quantitative and qualitative data from two ongoing studies to describe pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness, willingness to use PrEP, barriers to facilitators of PrEP uptake, and PrEP use among 15- to 24-year-old transgender and gender nonbinary (TGNB) youth. Most youth were aware of PrEP, but only one participant across both studies reported current use. Uncertainty about willingness to take PrEP may be related to general (e.g., medication cost) and trans-specific (e.g., PrEP–hormone interactions) concerns. Intensified and sustained efforts are needed to engage TGNB youth along the PrEP continuum and the impact of new PrEP administration and dosing options should be examined for TGNB youth.
