This systematic review examined preferences for preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) among individuals assigned male at birth in the United States, focusing on men who have sex with men (MSM). The review included 10 studies, revealing that cost, dosing frequency, and side effects significantly influenced PrEP uptake. The findings highlight barriers to PrEP engagement, including stigma and misinformation.

Key findings

  • Cost, dosing frequency, and side effects were the most influential factors for MSM PrEP uptake.
  • Only 10 studies met inclusion criteria from an initial 648 records reviewed.
  • All included studies focused on men who have sex with men, with no representation of transgender women.
  • Subgroup differences by race, age, and geography were rarely explored.

Why it matters

Understanding preferences for PrEP among MSM is critical for improving uptake and addressing barriers. This knowledge can inform targeted interventions and enhance the effectiveness of HIV prevention strategies.
