Men and women of color have had low pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake. How one's preferred source of health information shapes attitudes toward PrEP is unclear. We conducted cross-sectional surveys to assess changes in PrEP awareness, knowledge, and attitudes, trusted sources for PrEP information, and associations between trusted source of information and PrEP knowledge and attitudes. Participants were recruited from six areas served by community health centers in Chicago, IL (two health centers); Jackson, MS; Newark, NJ; Philadelphia, PA; and Washington, D.C. during June-September 2015 (n = 160) and June-September 2016 (n = 200). Participants were Black (74%), heterosexual (81%), and largely unaware of PrEP (72%). Participants who trusted health experts and community organizations for PrEP information had lower percentages of agreeing with statements indicative of negative PrEP attitudes. Interventions that increase PrEP awareness as well as knowledge and favorable attitudes might help increase PrEP use in communities with high HIV prevalence.

社区成员的暴露前预防意识，态度和PrEP信息和提供的可信赖来源，背景事项调查，2015-2016年

有色男人和女人的暴露前预防（PrEP）摄入量低。一个人偏爱的健康信息来源如何塑造对PrEP的态度尚不清楚。我们进行了横断面调查，以评估PrEP意识，知识和态度，PrEP信息的可信赖来源以及可信赖的信息源与PrEP知识和态度之间的关联。参与者是从伊利诺伊州芝加哥市的社区保健中心（两个保健中心）服务的六个地区招募的；密西西比州杰克逊；新泽西州纽瓦克；宾夕法尼亚州费城; 以及2015年6月至9月（n = 200）和2016年6月至9月（n = 200）的华盛顿特区。参与者为黑人（74％），异性恋（81％），并且基本上不了解PrEP（72％）。信任卫生专家和社区组织的PrEP信息的参与者同意表示负面PrEP态度的陈述的比例较低。可以提高PrEP意识，知识和态度的干预措施可能有助于在HIV感染率较高的社区中增加PrEP的使用。
