Awareness and willingness to utilize HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis and associated factors among men who have sex with men in Maanshan, China
Maanshan's MSM population demonstrated high PrEP acceptance but limited awareness. The findings suggest that expanding access to HIV testing could enhance PrEP awareness. Simultaneously, PrEP dissemination combined with targeted HIV prevention may effectively reduce HIV transmission in the MSM population.
