ABSTRACT
PrEP has been reported to facilitate openness to serodifferent sexual partnerships among sexual minority men (SMM). However, other aspects of a sexual scenario likely come into play, including whether or not condoms are used and whether or not the partner living with HIV has an undetectable viral load. This online survey study evaluated the association between PrEP status and openness to serodifferent partnering, as well as the effects of various sexual scenario variables (condom use and partner's viral load) among 268 HIV-negative SMM in the US. Each participant reported their PrEP status and rated their openness to serodifferent partnering in four sexual scenarios, which varied by condom use (with/without) and partner viral load status (detectable/undetectable). Analyses of covariance (ANCOVAs) were conducted to assess differences in openness to serodifferent partnering by PrEP status in each scenario, adjusting for background characteristics. A two-way repeated measures ANCOVA and a three-way mixed factorial ANCOVA, including PrEP status as a between-subjects variable, were also performed to assess the effects of condom use and partner viral load status on openness. Across all scenarios, current PrEP users expressed significantly greater openness to serodifferent partnering compared to participants who had never used PrEP. Current PrEP users were also more likely than former PrEP users to consider partnering with someone with an undetectable viral load without using condoms. Both PrEP users and PrEP-inexperienced individuals had greater openness to serodifferent partnering with a partner having an undetectable (vs. detectable) viral load, which was magnified by condom use among the latter.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN Se ha reportado que hombres de minorías sexuales (HMS) están más dispuestos a tener parejas sexuales serodiferentes cuando usan PrEP. Sin embargo, es probable que existan otros aspectos del contexto sexual, como el uso o no de condones y si la pareja que vive con el VIH tiene o no una carga viral indetectable. Este estudio utilizó una encuesta virtual para evaluar la asociación entre el uso de PrEP y el estar abierto a parejas serodiferentes, así como los efectos de diversas variables del contexto sexual (uso de condón y carga viral de la pareja) entre 268 SMM VIH negativos en los EE. UU. Cada participante reportó su uso de PrEP y estimó su apertura a parejas serodiferentes en cuatro contextos sexuales, que variaron según el uso de condón (con o sin) y el estado de carga viral de la pareja (detectable/indetectable). Para examinar si la apertura a tener parejas sexuales serodiferentes estaba asociada con el uso de PrEP en cada contexto sexual, se realizaron análisis de covarianza (ANCOVA), controlando por características demográficas. También se utilizó ANCOVA de medidas repetidas de dos vías y una ANCOVA de diseño factorial mixto de tres vías, incluyendo el estado de PrEP como una variable entre sujetos, para evaluar los efectos del uso de condón y el estado de carga viral de la pareja en la apertura a tener parejas sexuales serodiferentes. En todos los contextos, las personas usando PrEP en ese momento expresaron una apertura significativamente mayor a las parejas serodiferentes comparados con los participantes que nunca habían usado PrEP. Las personas usando PrEP en ese momento también eran más propensas a considerar asociarse con alguien con una carga viral indetectable sin usar condones que los que habían descontinuado PrEP. Tanto los usuarios de PrEP como las personas sin experiencia en PrEP tuvieron una mayor apertura a tener relaciones serodiferentes con una pareja que tuviera una carga viral indetectable (versus detectable), que se magnificó por el uso de condones entre los sin inexperiencia.
