Preexposure Prophylaxis Awareness and Use in a Population-Based Sample of Young Black Men Who Have Sex With Men In the United States, reducing new human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infections will require a determined focus on primary HIV prevention among young black men who have sex with men (YBMSM), the only group in the United States where HIV incidence has increased over the past decade.1 Through 2011, effective clinic-based HIV prevention interventions that target YBMSM have been virtually nonexistent.2 In 2012, the US Food and Drug Administration approved a preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) consisting of daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate and emtricitabine. This PrEP has an estimated effectiveness of over 90%3 and, therefore, an HIV prevention effect potential for several domestic HIV epicenters.4
