Implication

Analysis shows increased HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis use in U.S. counties, indicating persistent regional disparities and the need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

To characterize trends in HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) access across U.S. metropolitan counties from 2016 to 2022 and evaluate regional disparities.
Analyzed annual county-level data for PrEP-to-need ratios and PrEP rates from 2016-2022.
Performed spatial autocorrelation analyses using Moran’s I and conducted a difference-in-difference analysis.
Identified hotspots and coldspots in PrEP-to-need ratio and PrEP rates across counties.
Average PrEP-to-need ratio increased from 2.5 in 2016 to 12.5 in 2022.
Average PrEP rate rose from 27.6 in 2016 to 121.2 in 2022 across counties.
Significant spatial autocorrelation observed in both 2016 and 2022 using global Moran’s I analyses.
