| Popis: | Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective HIV prevention intervention and is critical to the Ending the HIV Epidemic strategy. Most PrEP research has been conducted among urban populations; less is known about PrEP awareness, willingness to use, and actual use among rural and suburban populations. We examined these PrEP indicators by United States region and urbanicity among men who have sex with men who responded to the 2019 cycle of the American Men's Internet Survey. Rural and suburban men were less likely than urban men to be aware of PrEP, to have discussed PrEP with a healthcare provider in the past 12 months, and to have ever used PrEP. Smaller differences were observed across regions. Notably, willingness to use PrEP was similar across region and urbanicity. Additional work will be needed to increase PrEP awareness and access among rural and suburban populations. |
