Health discussant networks, a type of social network, may be influential in HIV prevention efforts. These networks, often composed of individuals\u2019 families, have improved health utilization outcomes in other disciplines. However, health discussants in HIV prevention are understudied, especially when considering providers as network members. We conducted a cross-sectional online survey and collected socio-demographic information, sexual history, HIV concerns, PrEP attitudes, healthcare utilization, mistrust, social support, and HD information. We used descriptive statistics and logistic regression to analyze data. Associations between PrEP interest and variables were examined. We found that older, partnered, who had recent healthcare visits or health insurance were more likely to involve healthcare providers as discussants. Anticipated PrEP stigma decreased provider involvement. Among participants listing providers as discussants, there was a greater likelihood of interest in using PrEP. Our findings indicate that healthcare provider support and social factors are crucial in promoting PrEP engagement among Black women. Integrating social dynamics and positive provider-patient interactions is essential for successful PrEP implementation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/23259582231225278","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,4]],"date-time":"2024-01-04T02:36:56Z","timestamp":1704335816000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["The Impact of Providers as Health  Discussants on Black Women's Interest  in PrEP for HIV Prevention"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"23","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8228-7206","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Whitney C.","family":"Irie","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Social Work, Boston College School of Social Work, Chestnut Hill, MA, USA"},{"name":"The Fenway Institute, Fenway Health, Boston, MA, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Merriah A.","family":"Croston","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0006-8091","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anais","family":"Mahone","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Social Work, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey, \rNew Brunswick, NJ, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,1,3]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-23259582231225278","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socnet.2010.06.005"},{"key":"bibr2-23259582231225278","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.socscimed.2013.12.033"},{"key":"bibr3-23259582231225278","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4324\/9781315127491"},{"key":"bibr4-23259582231225278","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/10410236.2011.640975"},{"key":"bibr5-23259582231225278","volume-title":"Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Challenge and Change","author":"Wellman B","year":"2014"},{"key":"bibr6-23259582231225278","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.2307\/1389119"},{"key":"bibr7-23259582231225278","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.22454\/PRiMER.2018.728252"},{"issue":"12","key":"bibr8-23259582231225278","first-page":"1924","volume":"98","author":"Wimberly YH","year":"2006","journal-title":"J Natl Med Assoc"},{"key":"bibr9-23259582231225278","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/fampra\/cmh509"},{"key":"bibr10-23259582231225278","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/jocn.14900"},{"key":"bibr11-23259582231225278","unstructured":"Frederiksen B, Ranji U, Apr 21 MLP, 2021.
