HIV non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) awareness and promotion among five key populations in China: A cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study investigated HIV non-occupational post-exposure prophylaxis (nPEP) awareness and promotion, and related sociodemographic and behavioural factors among five key populations in China.

Methods

From November 2018 to September 2019, we adopted convenience sampling to recruit participants who were age ≥ 18, self-reported HIV status as either negative or unknown and provided informed consent from five key populations cross-sectionally in 10 Chinese cities. Univariable and multivariable logistic regressions were adopted.

Findings

Our analysis included data from 2022 participants with a mean age of 35 years (SD = 11·62). Approximately 60% of participants reported non-consistent condom use in the past month, and 37% had not been tested for HIV in the past
