Abstract
We examined the prevalence and correlates of interest in receiving HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in Latinx migrants at high-risk of HIV infection in Tijuana, Mexico, a migrant sending/receiving community bordering California. In 2016, 870 HIV-seronegative biologically male Latinx migrants ages 18 and older responded to interviewer-administered surveys. Univariate statistics and multivariable analyses were estimated. In multivariable logistic regression analyses, emerging adults (18-24 years) were significantly less likely than participants ages 45 and older to be interested in PrEP (AOR: 0.35; 95% CI: 0.13, 0.89). Those who ever had sex with another male (AOR: 1.78; 95% CI: 1.13, 2.80), and who recently used illicit drugs (AOR: 1.74, 95% 1.09, 2.75) were significantly more likely to be interested in receiving PrEP. Provision of PrEP to migrant males at high-risk of HIV is needed. In Mexico, expanding access to federal health insurance and reducing the costs of PrEP are urgently needed.
