Primary Themes for HIV Prevention and PrEP Uptake among Rural PWID Mapped to PRISM Domains.
PRISM domain | PRISM element activated | Theme | Example quote |
---|---|---|---|
Recipients, client characteristics |
Knowledge and beliefs | Need for HIV information | There ain't no AIDS around here. If there is and they're made aware of that. |
Uncertain personal risk | I get scared thinking if I got it, I don't know if I want to find out. | ||
Disease burden | Substance use disorder situational risks | When you are sick and withdrawing there's no line you won't cross. | |
Program (intervention), client perspectives | Addresses client barriers | Stigma: social rejection and harms from systems | The stigma would be like that. You wouldn't want somebody to know you're taking it [PrEP] because they think you have HIV. |
Scarce physical capital: pervasive economic distress | Sometimes I might miss a week cause I ain't got, my ride got tore up and you know, you might not find a ride up here. | ||
Access | SSP utilization: safety, inclusion supports expanded care opportunities | I felt like that I was being taken care of, that someone cared enough that I didn't have to shoot with used needles. | |
Client-centered | Health management: resilience, empowerment, readiness | I had it [HCV]. And then I took the Mavyret and got rid of it. I took three pills a day for two months. |
