Analysis reveals disparities in PrEP use among at-risk populations in urban health centers, suggesting a need for equitable access.

To assess the equity of PrEP use among patients at ACCESS and evaluate disparities in demographics.
Compared demographics of PrEP users to HIV-diagnosed patients from January 2023 to December 2024.
Calculated PrEP-to-need Ratios (PnRs) based on prescriptions and HIV diagnoses.
Examined disparities by age, gender, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, and insurance status.
Overall PnR among patients was 9.5.
PnR was negatively associated with age; higher in females (11.3) than males (8.2).
Privately insured patients had higher PnRs (14.2) compared to publicly insured (9.9) and uninsured (6.4).

Vaughn et al. (2026) studied this question.
