Cannabis use, PrEP and HIV transmission risk
Populations with elevated risk for HIV face a disproportionate burden of disease. Focused, high-coverage PrEP in populations heavily impacted by HIV could rapidly reduce new HIV acquisition rates; however, its uptake among at-risk populations has been limited. Therefore, we propose to conduct urgently needed research on PrEP in a cohort of PrEP-eligible participants, including on the impact of relevant behaviors, particularly cannabis use, which is highly prevalent in this population. Research on the impact of cannabis use on PrEP has achieved conflicting results, and it has not been rigorously studied in PrEP-eligible people. Therefore, the proposed R01 study will assess cross-sectional…
