Résumé

Most research on pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) adherence and persistence uses a deficit-based approach to identify negative influences on PrEP adherence; however, an alternative set of approaches (such as resilience, asset-based, and positive variation) may identify equally important positive influences on PrEP adherence. Thus, the current study presents qualitative perspectives of PrEP adherence strategies from a sample of adherent YMSM. PrEP-using YMSM living in the Chicago area from a larger cohort study were recruited into a 90-day diary study that measured sexual health behaviors including PrEP use. A subset (n = 28) were then recruited for in-depth interviews between April and September 2020 covering topics of PrEP use and adherence. Thematic analysis was used to interpret patterns within the data. The analytic sample (n = 19) consistently reported high levels of adherence. Adherence strategies were organized into three broader categories: psychological (e.g. mindfulness, pill auditing), technical/instrumental (e.g. automated reminders, pill organizers), and social strategies (e.g. checking in with friends, or getting suggestions from friends). The majority of participants described using multiple strategies and changing strategies to respond to barriers to adherence. Other themes that were related to adherence included having a daily medication history and a generally positive outlook toward the PrEP regimen. Those who had medication histories were able to draw from experience to develop strategies for PrEP adherence. Findings suggest the need for pre-emptive counseling for PrEP-initiators on the use of multiple strategies, how to prepare for PrEP adherence, to adapt to challenges, and to adopt a range of potential strategies for adherence. La mayoría de las investigaciones sobre el cumplimiento y la persistencia de la profilaxis pre-exposición (PrEP) utiliza un enfoque basado en el déficit para identificar las influencias negativas en el cumplimiento de la PrEP; sin embargo, un conjunto alternativo de enfoques (como resiliencia, basado en en las capacidades o recursos, y variación positiva) puede identificar influencias positivas igualmente importantes en la adherencia a la PrEP. Por lo tanto, el estudio actual presenta perspectivas cualitativas de las estrategias de adherencia a la PrEP de una muestra de los hombres jóvenes que tienen sexo con hombres (YMSM) adherentes. Los YMSM que usaban PrEP que vivían en la región de Chicago de un estudio de cohorte más grande fueron reclutados en un estudio diario de 90 días que midió los comportamientos de salud sexual, incluido el uso de PrEP. Luego se reclutó un subconjunto (n = 28) para entrevistas en profundidad entre abril y septiembre de 2020 que cubrieron temas de uso y adherencia a la PrEP. El análisis temático se utilizó para interpretar patrones dentro de los datos. La muestra analítica (n = 19) reportó consistentemente altos niveles de adherencia. Las estrategias de adherencia se organizaron en tres categorías más amplias: psicológicas (p. ej., atención plena, auditoría de píldoras), técnicas/instrumentales (p. ej., recordatorios automáticos, organizadores de píldoras) y estrategias sociales (p. ej., ponerse en contacto con amigos o recibir sugerencias de amigos). La mayoría de los participantes describieron el uso de múltiples estrategias y el cambio de estrategias para responder a las barreras a la adherencia. Otros temas relacionados con la adherencia incluyeron tener un historial de medicación diario y una perspectiva generalmente positiva hacia el régimen de PrEP. Aquellos que tenían antecedentes de medicación pudieron aprovechar la experiencia para desarrollar estrategias para la adherencia a la PrEP. Los hallazgos sugieren la necesidad de asesoramiento preventivo para los iniciadores de la PrEP sobre el uso de múltiples estrategias, cómo prepararse para la adherencia a la PrEP, cómo adaptarse a los desafíos y adoptar una variedad de posibles estrategias para la adherencia.
