Abstract
HIV continues to disproportionately affect Latino men who have sex with men (MSM) and disparities are even greater in the South. This study examines the implications of socioeconomic status (SES) associated with awareness, access, and usage of PrEP. Latino MSM (N=154) from San Antonio, TX completed a self-administered survey. Results revealed that PrEP uptake was significantly lower for low SES Latino MSM. PrEP related barriers included lack of awareness, stigmas, and side effects. Findings underscore the importance for a multi-systemic approach to enhance awareness and access of PrEP for Latino MSM with varying levels of SES in the South.Entities:
