PrEP is one of the available biomedical prevention tools that can significantly reduce HIV infections. Despite increases in uptake of PrEP among high priority key populations, PrEP use among BYMSM remains insufficient.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Qualitative data collection occurred between 2020 and 2022. We conducted in-depth interviews and focus groups with 56 BYMSM and 12 prevention and outreach staff in Alabama. Two researchers dual-coded verbatim transcripts from audio files, guided by a codebook that included inductive and deductive themes. We used NVivo qualitative software for coding and analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Three themes emerged from both participant groups: (1) Lack of knowledge about PrEP among BYMSM, (2) Structural barriers to accessing PrEP, and (3) Culturally or contextually specific concerns around PrEP, including HIV related stigma and fear of being treated poorly related to identity. Participants offered recommendations to increase PrEP uptake, including tailored PrEP education and using peer advocates to normalize PrEP and reach people who may not routinely interact with healthcare.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our results suggest several next steps to increase PrEP uptake among BYMSM in the southern US.
