Method Sites Fiocruz/RJ University of São Paulo (USP) Referral Center for HIV treatment (CRT/SP) Inclusion criteria – MSM and TGW, ≥ 18 years, presenting sexual risk for HIV infection (reported ≥ 2 male condomless anal sex partners OR ≥ 2 anal sex episodes with HIV positive partner OR STI diagnosis in last 12 months) Exclusion criteria – HIV positive result, HIV acute infection, HBsAG positive, urine protein, creatinine clearence <60, using ARV, using interferon, severe medical comorbidity, unable to return within 45 days

(Preliminary Data) 1187 individuals interviewed (pre-screening visit) – 96.3% (MSM) and 4,7% (TGW) – Median age: 29 years – HIV Positive: 9,8%

PrEP Uptake Approached N= 986 Potentially eligible N = 798 Tracked N= 490 Included N=409 Predictors for Uptake: - Higher risk - Previous Knowledge of PrEP

Awareness of PrEP

Interest in use of PrEP

In this first PrEP demonstration project for MSM and TGW without prior PrEP experience in a middle-income country, PrEP uptake was high. Interest on PrEP was high in the MSM community. To targeted Trans people community - education activities and a Trans friendly environment can play a major role in getting them to access PrEP services. The higher uptake among those at higher risk and prior PrEP awareness- emphasizes the importance of establishing strategies to improve HIV risk perception and PrEP awareness in the MSM and TGW communities in Brasil.
