US primary and HIV care providers (n = 370) completed an experimental survey. Each provider reviewed one fictitious medical record of a patient seeking PrEP. Records varied by patient race (Black or White) and risk behavior (man who has sex with men [MSM], has sex with women [MSW], or injects drugs [MID]). Providers reported clinical judgments and completed measures of prejudice. Minimal evidence of racially biased judgments emerged. Providers expressing low-to-moderate sexual prejudice judged the MSM as more likely than the MSW to adhere to PrEP, which was associated with greater PrEP prescribing intention; sexual prejudice was negatively associated with anticiAIDS and behaviorAn Experimental Study of the Effects of Patient Race, Sexual Orientation, and Injection Drug Use on Providers' PrEP-Related Clinical Judgments.PMC9434708P30 AI060354P30 MH062294P30 AI117970K01-MH103080P30-MH062294P30-AI060354K01 MH103080P30-AI117970Kershaw TSCalabrese SKKrakower DSBunting SRDel Rio-Gonzalez AMEarnshaw VAKalwicz DAHansen NBDovidio JFModrakovic DEdelman EJMagnus MRosenberger JGMayer KHfalseAn Experimental Study of the Effects of Patient Race, Sexual Orientation, and Injection Drug Use on Providers' PrEP-Related Clinical Judgments.Social biases may influence providers' judgments related to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and patients' consequent PrEP access.
