RESUMO

OBJECTIVE: Because of a high rate of HIV diagnosis and restricted medical access in the Centre-Val de Loire region in France , remote consultations (RC) with a community-based approach has been implemented to promote access to healthcare. Our study aimed to determine whether RC could improve access to pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for men who have sex with men (MSM) as part of the healthcare pathway associated with PrEP. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A qualitative approach involving semi-structured interviews with 17 MSM and 3 physicians from specialized sexual health centres was performed, with a mean duration of interview over one hour. The research focused on the health pathway associated with PrEP, from initial awareness to ongoing prescription and follow-up. RESULTS: Transitioning PrEP consultations to RC is feasible, but concerns about a potential decline in care quality compared to traditional sexual health centres follow-ups were noted. Both MSM and physicians recognized that RC could complement face-to-face approaches, especially in terms of organizational benefits. In rural areas, access to specialists through RC was seen as a partial solution, though it could be hindered by barriers in accessing laboratory testing and pharmacy services, like fear of stigmatization. More generally, distrust of medication and the difficulty of discussing sexuality with a GP were highlighted, which could limit the uptake of PrEP without access to specialists. CONCLUSIONS: The initiation and uptake of PrEP among MSM are more effectively influenced by initiatives that provide information, reassurance, and facilitate initial procedures, rather than solely through RC. A strategy combining digital and community-based approaches, along with medical expertise, is recommended to increase PrEP utilization among MSM.

RESUMO

Introduction : In France, the incidence of HIV infections remains at 6,000 infections a year. Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) could reduce this number. Despite available reimbursement since 2016 to exposed populations, the recipients remain mostly men who have sex with men (MSM) living in large cities. In Center-Val de Loire, where newly HIV diagnoses and difficulties of access to care are tremendous, community tele-support and dedicated teleconsultations have been launched to promote access, particularly in rural areas. This study aimed to identify the interests and limits of these teleconsultations for PreP users.Purpose of research : E-PrEP qualitative study conducted by semi-structured interviews with MSM PrEP users allowing the thematic analysis of eight interviews lasting an average of one hour, conducted with MSM taking at least one teleconsultation.Results : The teleconsultation met user expectations with good acceptability. It integrated naturally into the associated preventive care pathway where applicable. The description of a more impersonal face-to–face exchange is balanced by establishing a trusting relationship. Teleconsultation has sometimes eased talking about sexuality. An enhanced confidentiality could represent a specific motif to choose teleconsultation. Access to the specialist seems to be an asset compared to a GP follow-up hardly chosen for this type of consultation. Fears of lack of discretion or judgmental behavior from these unspecialized healthcare professionals were pronounced..Conclusions : The deployment of teleconsultations can be encouraged to facilitate access to PrEP with vigilance on the associated health path.
