Show abstract
Few studies have examined pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) engagement among youth experiencing homelessness (YEH), despite their high HIV risk. We assessed awareness of, willingness to use, and plans to take PrEP among YEH receiving services at nine organizations in New York City. Among 113 participants, 49 (43%) identified as LGBTQIA and 74 (65%) reported food insecurity. In total, 53 (47%) had heard of PrEP before the survey, 82 (73%) reported willingness to take PrEP, and 28 (25%) had a plan to take it. Interventions to improve awareness of PrEP and encourage use are critical to reducing HIV in YEH.
