| Abstract |
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is efficacious for HIV prevention when taken consistently; however, barriers to PrEP use are poorly understood among individuals who could benefit from PrEP, including men who have sex with men (MSM) who engage in transactional sex (i.e., sex exchanged for money or drugs). Two hundred and thirty-seven HIV-uninfected, PrEP-naive MSM reporting concurrent substance dependence and sexual risk completed a questionnaire on PrEP use barriers. Barriers to PrEP use for MSM who engaged in recent transactional sex (22 %) versus those who had not were compared using an ecological framework. Individual (e.g., HIV stigma, substance use) and structural (e.g., economic, healthcare) barriers did not differ (p > 0.05). MSM who recently engaged in transactional sex were more likely to report that anticipated stigma from primary and casual partners would be barriers to PrEP use. Assessing recent transactional sex may help identify men who may need additional counseling to avoid anticipated stigma so they can integrate PrEP into their lives. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. 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 06 March 2017.
All research outputs
#6,778,398
of 24,862,965 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#1,034
of 3,651 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#104,608
of 359,384 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#24
of 75 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 24,862,965 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,651 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% 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 359,384 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 75 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 69% of its contemporaries.
