In 2014, 319 (65%) of the 492 newly diagnosed HIV cases among male Philadelphia residents reported MSM as a transmission risk. 2 PrEP has the potential to prevent HIV transmission among HIV-negative MSM but only if acceptance of and adherence to the medication is high. We used survey responses from the National HIV Behavioral Surveillance System (NHBS) in Philadelphia to evaluate the acceptability of PrEP among HIV-negative MSM and characteristics associated with the willingness to use PrEP. In particular, we sought to identify the acceptability of PrEP among the MSM population subgroups at a greatest risk of HIV acquisition, including MSM with a high number of sexual partners and those engaging in unprotected anal sex in the past year, to inform potential interventions.NHBS is a CDC-funded national surveillance system that collects crosssectional behavioral data in 20 US cities among populations at the high risk for acquiring HIV, including MSM, persons who inject drugs, and heterosexuals at an increased risk for HIV infection. Our study uses survey responses from the fourth NHBS MSM cycle in Philadelphia conducted from August to November 2014. A total of 709 MSM were interviewed during this cycle. This analysis excludes respondents who self-reported being HIV positive (n= 132, 18.6%), did not complete relevant questions regarding PrEP use (n= 9, 1%), or declined HIV testing (n= 31, 4.4%). The final study population includes 537 MSM. Philadelphia’s NHBS MSM4 survey was supplemented with a brief statement explaining PrEP and several follow-up questions including,“Would you be willing to take the pill PrEP every day to lower your chances of getting HIV?” Possible responses included “yes,”“no,” and “don’t know.” Our primary outcome was an affirmative response to this question. HIV-negative MSM reporting prior or current use of PrEP (n= 35, 6.5%) were also included in the analysis as those willing to take PrEP. Associations of the outcome with sociodemographic varia-
