Resumen

Introducción: A pesar de la enorme evidencia que apoya la eficacia y efectividad de la Profilaxis Pre-exposición (PrEP) para el VIH, su adopción continúa siendo marginal. En Colombia, poco se sabe sobre los determinantes sociales y su efecto en la elegibilidad, familiaridad e intención de uso de la PrEP en poblaciones de interés. Objetivo: Evaluar la familiaridad con la PrEP, la cascada motivacional de la PrEP y las condiciones sociales como determinantes de esta cascada. Métodos: Entre abril 2020 y febrero 2021 se realizó un estudio transversal en una muestra no probabilística de 552 Hombres que tienen Sexo con Hombres (HSH) y 158 Mujeres Transgénero (MTG). Usando la regresión de Poisson, se exploraron las asociaciones entre elegibilidad, familiaridad y elementos de la cascada motivacional de PrEP (voluntad, intención y necesidad autopercibida de tomarla) con las características sociodemográficas. Resultados: El 51,2 % sabían de la PrEP, el 58,7 % estaban dispuestos a utilizarla, el 45 % se percibían como candidatos a PrEP, y 56,2 % tenían intención de tomarla. Una baja escolaridad se relacionó con una baja familiaridad con la PrEP y los bajos ingresos con menor intención de uso. Las MTG estaban menos enteradas sobre la PrEP, pero estaban más dispuestas a usarla que los HSH que fueron entrevistados en persona. Conclusión: Los resultados apoyan la pertinencia del concepto de la cascada de PrEP para describir el estado de elegibilidad y motivación para tomarla. Para acelerar la implementación de la PrEP, se debe incrementar su conocimiento entre HSH y MTG con estrategias focalizadas en poblaciones menos escolarizadas.
