Purpose: This paper examines lack of interest in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and lack of willingness to use PrEP information sources among men who have sex with men (MSM).
Methods: Demographic subgroups were compared via odds ratios in this purposive sample of 273 MSM.
Results: 29% were uninterested in learning more about PrEP. Lack of interest was most common among: already PrEP-aware, Caucasian, HIV-positive, aged 40+, well-educated men. Most sources of information about PrEP were deemed unacceptable.
Conclusions: Fueling the lack of PrEP use among MSM are a lack of interest in PrEP and an unwillingness to utilize existing information resources.
Keywords: gay men; lack of interest in PrEP; men who have sex with men (MSM); pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).
