Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Awareness and Demand Creation: Overlooked Populations and Opportunities to Move Forward
The underutilization of PrEP among the 1.2 million individuals who could benefit from it highlights the need for effective demand creation to reduce disparities. To effectively increase awareness of the benefits of PrEP requires consideration of the characteristics of the target population and the structural inequalities that contribute to PrEP-related disparities. Demand creation activities can increase awareness, correct misconceptions, provide knowledge, and help people decide whether PrEP is a good fit for them. The utilization of implementation science frameworks is essential to address demand generation and supply-side barriers to PrEP use.
