dc.descriptionPre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) prevents HIV infection among men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TGW) who are the groups that presents the high incidence risk in Brazil. This cross-sectional secondary analysis describes possible risk compensation, attitudes, and beliefs regarding the use of PrEP among 723 MSM and TGW evaluated in the PrEP Brazil study pre-screening phase. Possible risk compensation was reported by 31.6% individuals. In the multivariate model, factors that increased the likelihood of possible risk compensation were: self-referring as white vs. Black (AOR 2.05; CI 1.09, 3.85), perceiving high likelihood of getting HIV in next 12 months (AOR 1.78; CI 1.23, 2.56), being less afraid of HIV infection if using PrEP (AOR 1.93; CI 1.19, 3.14), feeling liberated to have more partners if using PrEP (AOR 2.93; CI 1.92, 4.49), and believing closest friends would use PrEP (AOR 2.51; CI 1.1, 5.71). We found that possible risk compensation was more common among individuals who presented high-risk perception for HIV infection, probably reflecting they feel at risk and could benefit from PrEP use.
