Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake remains low among Black men who have sex with men (BMSM). PrEPLine, launched in August 2015, based in Chicago, was designed to support PrEP linkage among BMSM. PrEPLine moves clients through the Motivational PrEP Cascade, addresses barriers, and tracks outcomes. Study findings suggest that three variables (i.e., being gay/same gender loving, living more than 15 miles from a clinic location, rescheduling an appointment) demonstrated a significant positive association with initiating PrEP. A subanalysis of BMSM found that two variables (i.e., living on the West Side of Chicago relative to those living on the South Side, and among those living in communities with a higher rate of poverty [more than 30%], relative to those living in communities with a lower rate of poverty [less than 20%]) demonstrated a significant negative association with initiating PrEP.

在与男性发生性关系的黑人（BMSM）中，暴露前预防（PrEP）的摄取仍然很低。PrEPLine于2015年8月在芝加哥成立，旨在支持BMSM之间的PrEP链接。PrEPLine通过动机PrEP级联引导客户，解决障碍并跟踪结果。研究结果表明，三个变量（即同性恋/同性爱，离诊所位置生活距离超过15英里，重新安排约会）显示出与发起PrEP显着正相关。BMSM的子分析发现，有两个变量（即相对于南部居民，居住在芝加哥西区，以及贫困率高于[30％]的社区中，
