We characterized the HIVPC among a large, nationwide cohort of trans women in the United States and Puerto Rico by pre\u2010exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) modality (daily oral and long\u2010acting injectable, LAI) and identified correlates of uptake and non\u2010adherence.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From April 2023 to December 2024, we enrolled English and Spanish\u2010speaking adult trans women (age 18 years or older) not living with HIV (laboratory\u2010confirmed via fourth\u2010generation HIV\u20101\/2 antigen\/antibody testing) and residing in the United States and Puerto Rico into the cohort. PrEP data were collected via self\u2010administered surveys. We characterized the HIVPC using descriptive statistics and assessed for differences in proportions for each step of the HIVPC by modality. Modified Poisson regression models estimated adjusted prevalence ratios (aPR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) for correlates of HIVPC step (e.g. awareness to uptake).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      We enrolled 2504 participants, 1636 (65%) of whom may have benefitted from PrEP based on self\u2010reported sexual history and\/or needle sharing in the prior 6 months at baseline. Forty\u2010two percent were 18\u201329 years old, 18% identified as Hispanic and\/or Latina\/x\/e and 13% identified as Black (inclusive of multiracial participants).

The largest proportional difference in HIVPC step was from awareness to uptake (60% of PrEP\u2010aware participants had never used PrEP). This difference was significantly greater for LAI PrEP (96% of LAI PrEP\u2010aware participants had never used LAI). Correlates of PrEP uptake included high perceived HIV acquisition risk (aPR = 2.08, 95% CI = 1.59\u22122.72; ref = no perceived risk), current use of exogenous oestrogen and\/or anti\u2010androgens (aPR = 1.47 95% CI = 1.21\u22121.79), and receipt of health services at an LGBTQ+ clinic (aPR = 1.34, 95% CI = 1.16\u22121.55). Correlates of non\u2010adherence among PrEP users included being a non\u2010U.S. citizen (aPR: 2.41, 95% CI = 1.44\u22124.05) and recent food insecurity (aPR: 1.47, 95% CI = 1.04\u22122.06).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Interventions to improve HIVPC outcomes\u2014especially PrEP uptake\u2014are needed to optimize HIV PrEP among trans women.
