“…International evidence corroborates these findings and indicates that PrEP and PEP awareness is low, even among key populations that are considered a priority for infection control, the percentage of participants who had knowledge about either of the two methods ranges from 18.9 to 47.2% [14,29]. Besides, a study with MSM identified low awareness of the two methods but a high level of interest in using them [5].…”

Background Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and Post-Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP) are key to preventing sexual transmission of HIV, whose sexual partners are at high risk of acquiring HIV. We aimed to determine the factors associated with PrEP and PEP’s knowledge as secondary prevention among people living with HIV/AIDS. Method Cross-sectional analytical study carried out among people living with HIV/AIDS treated at five specialized services in the city of Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil. Data were collected from July 2016 to July 2017. Individual interviews were conducted. We used multivariable logistic regression to determine factors associated with knowing PrEP and PEP. Results Of the 397 participants, 140 (35.26%) were heterosexual women aged 40 to 49 years (36.2%).Participants with less than 11 years of study (adjusted odds: 0.29; 95% CI: 0.13–0.60); who did not have a low viral load or did not know their viral load (adjusted odds: 0.29; 95% CI: 0.09–0.83) and those with casual partners (adjusted odds: 0.29; 95% CI: 0.09–0.83) were less likely to know about the PrEP. MSM (adjusted odds: 2.88; 95% CI: 1.59–5.3) and those who used alcohol during sexual intercourse (adjusted odds: 1.7; 95% CI: 1.0–2.8) were more likely to know about the PEP. Conclusions The knowledge about PEP and PrEP is low in Brazil. This may undermine secondary prevention efforts. Educational interventions to raise awareness of these prevention methods are needed among people living with HIV and who have HIV-negative sexual partners.

Background:The objective was to analyze the factors associated with knowledge of PrEP and PEP among people living with HIV/aids in Brazil. Cross-sectional analytical study carried out among people living with HIV/aids treated at five specialized services in the city of Ribeirão Preto, São Paulo, Brazil.Methods:Logistic regression analysis was used to assess the influence of independent variables on dependent variables: having knowledge about PrEP and PEP. Of the 397 participants, 140 (35.26%) were heterosexual women, aged 40 to 49 years (36.27%).Results: Participants with less than 11 years of study (adjusted odds: 0.2903; 95% CI: 0.1340-0.6007); who did not have a low viral load or did not know how to report viral load (adjusted odds: 0.2931; 95% CI: 0.0961-0.8398) and those with casual partners (adjusted odds: 0.2931; 95% CI: 0.0961- 0.8398) were less likely to have knowledge about the PrEP. MSM (adjusted odds: 2.8788; 95% CI: 1.5912-5.3092) and those who used alcohol during sexual intercourse (adjusted odds: 1.7305; 95% CI: 1.0656-2.8248) were more likely to have knowledge about the PEP.Conclusions: Awareness about PrEP and PEP should be widely disseminated by health promoting institutions in order to expand knowledge of these two methods.
