Abstract
Transgender and gender diverse individuals face health disparities such as higher HIV prevalence, but limited studies have found low PrEP uptake among these populations. To understand both patient and provider perspectives regarding PrEP care for transgender and gender diverse individuals, we conducted a mixed-methods study at Kaiser Permanente Southern California from September 2020 to October 2021. Transgender and gender diverse adults (N = 396) participated in a web-based survey, and qualitative interviews were subsequently conducted with a subset of survey respondents (N = 32) and healthcare providers (N = 8). Among survey respondents, > 75% were familiar with PrEP, and > 40% reported at least one HIV risk factor, but < 5% had taken PrEP. Interview themes included increasing providers’ inclusivity in primary care for transgender and gender diverse patients, and reducing logistical barriers and costs associated with PrEP-related visits. To improve PrEP uptake among transgender and gender diverse individuals, barriers across patient, provider, and health system levels must be addressed.
