| Abstract |
Emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate as pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) can prevent HIV infection among at-risk individuals, including young transgender women (YTW). We used baseline data from 230 HIV-uninfected YTW (ages 16-29 years) who were enrolled in Project LifeSkills during 2012-2015. We examined factors associated with perceived acceptability of PrEP use (mean score = 23.4, range 10.0-30.0). Participants were largely transgender women of color (67%) and had a mean age of 23 years (SD = 3.5). In an adjusted multiple linear regression model, PrEP interest (β = 3.7, 95% CI 2.2-5.2) and having a medical provider who meets their health needs (β = 2.9, 95% CI 1.3-4.4) was associated with higher PrEP acceptability scores, whereas younger age (21-25 vs 26-29 years) (β = -2.0, 95% CI - 3.6 to - 0.4) and reporting transactional sex in the past 4 months (β = - 1.5, 95% CI - 3.0 to - 0.1) was associated with lower PrEP acceptability scores (all p values < 0.05). Enhancing PrEP-related interventions by addressing the unique barriers to uptake among YTW of younger age or those with history of transactional sex could bolster PrEP acceptability for this population. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 14. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 08 August 2018.
All research outputs
#2,371,981
of 23,849,058 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#326
of 3,566 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#50,571
of 327,480 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#10
of 103 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,849,058 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done particularly well and is in the 90th percentile: it's in the top 10% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,566 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.0. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,480 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 84% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 103 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done particularly well, scoring higher than 90% of its contemporaries.
