Table III.
PrEP access and use by participants in the counseling intervention group compared to the control group assessed at the 3-month follow up visit (n=48).
| Variable | Intervention Group (n=25) | Control Group (n=23) |
|
|---|---|---|---|
| n (%) | n (%) | χ2, p | |
| Has seen a medical provider in the last 3 months | 13 (52) | 12 (52) | <0.1,0.99 |
| Has talked to a medical provider about PrEP in the last 3 months a | 11 (85) | 5 (42) | 0.041* |
| Has taken PrEP in the last 3 months | 6 (24) | 0 (0) | 0.023* |
| Currently taking PrEP | 4 (16) | 0 (0) | 0.11* |
| Plans to continue taking PrEP b | 5 (83) | NA | NA |
| Plans to begin taking PrEP within the next 3 months c | 17 (81) | 13 (57) | 0.11* |

These p-values were obtained using Fisher’s exact tests.
a
Among participants who saw a medical provider in the last 3 months.
b
Among participants who have taken PrEP in the last 3 months. The denominator for the control group is 0, so calculation of a frequency and proportion is not applicable for the control group.
c
Among participants who are not currently taking PrEP.
