We examined recent pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use (past 6 months) and its correlates among a large sample of men who have sex with men and transgender and gender non-conforming persons participating in a home HIV self-testing program conducted by the New York City Health Department between 11/2016 and 1/2017. Correlates examined included demographic characteristics and HIV-related behaviors in the past 6 months. Associations with recent PrEP use were assessed using log-binomial regression. 400 (22.5%) of 1776 participants reported recent PrEP use. In adjusted models, recent PrEP use was associated with Manhattan residence [adjusted prevalence ratio (aPR) 1.26; 95% confidence interval (CI) (1.04, 1.53)], higher income [aPR 1.29; 95% CI (1.03, 1.62)], and having insurance [aPR 1.89; 95% CI (1.33, 2.69)]. All HIV-related behaviors, except for injection drug use, were individually associated with PrEP use. More research is needed to better understand barriers to PrEP use among patients who are low income and/or uninsured as this may help improve current public health efforts to increase PrEP uptake among disproportionately impacted populations.
