Abstract

We sought to document the correlates of mental health and sexual behaviors of PrEP using and non-using gay, bisexual, and other MSM. Depression, anxiety and internalized homophobia scores were all significantly lower for PrEP users compared to HIV-negative non-PrEP users. PrEP use was found to moderate the relationship between anxiety and condomless anal intercourse (CAI), such that rates of anxiety were higher for non-PrEP users reporting greater numbers of CAI partners, while remaining stable for PrEP users. Use of PrEP was associated with lower levels of depression, anxiety, and internalized homophobia.
