ABSTRACT
Social biases may influence providers' judgments related to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) and patients' consequent PrEP access. US primary and HIV care providers (n = 370) completed an experimental survey. Each provider reviewed one fictitious medical record of a patient seeking PrEP. Records varied by patient race (Black or White) and risk behavior (man who has sex with men [MSM], has sex with women [MSW], or injects drugs [MID]). Providers reported clinical judgments and completed measures of prejudice. Minimal evidence of racially biased judgments emerged. Providers expressing low-to-moderate sexual prejudice judged the MSM as more likely than the MSW to adhere to PrEP, which was associated with greater PrEP prescribing intention; sexual prejudice was negatively associated with anticipated MSM adherence. Providers judged the MID to be at higher risk, less likely to adhere, less safety-conscious, and less responsible than both the MSM and MSW; adverse adherence and responsibility judgments were associated with lower prescribing intention.
RESUMEN
RESUMEN Los sesgos sociales pueden influir sobre los juicios de proveedores de salud con respecto a la profilaxis pre-exposición (PrEP) y el consecuente acceso de los pacientes a PrEP. Proveedores de cuidados primarios y de VIH en los Estados Unidos (n = 370) respondieron una encuesta experimental. Cada proveedor leyó una historia médica de un paciente ficticio interesado en obtener PrEP. Las historias médicas variaron la raza (Negro o Blanco) y conducta de riesgo (hombre que tiene sexo con hombres [HSH], hombre que tiene sexo con mujeres [HSM], u hombre  usuario de drogas inyectables [HDI]) del paciente. Los proveedores reportaron juicios clínicos y completaron medidas sobre prejuicio. La evidencia sobre sesgos raciales en los juicios clínicos fue mínima. Los proveedores que expresaron prejuicio sexual bajo a moderado, juzgaron que el paciente HSH tendría mayor adherencia a PrEP que el paciente HSM, lo cual se asoció con mayor intención de prescribir PrEP; el prejuicio sexual se asoció negativamente con la adherencia anticipada en HSH. El paciente HDI fue percibido como en mayor riesgo, con menor adherencia, menos preocupado por la seguridad, y menos responsable que los HSH y HSM; los juicios sobre baja adherencia y responsabilidad estuvieron asociados con menor intención de prescribir PrEP.
