Social workers have been critical in the response to HIV from its inception, in HIV prevention, support, and advocacy for stigmatized populations including gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (GBM). Recently, social workers have been tasked with working in an era of increasingly biomedicalized HIV prevention, including pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a safe and highly effective new prevention technology. However, disparities in PrEP access due to structural barriers, including lack of health insurance coverage, and complex decision-making pathways and processes of engagement present substantial challenges for PrEP implementation. Ensuring equitable access to resources and supporting informed decision making are paramount to social work values, yet scant published literature has considered PrEP social work intervention. This article draws on qualitative data from 29 GBM respondents to highlight gaps in PrEP decision-making support and access that may be amenable to social work intervention. Authors describe opportunities for individual, interpersonal, organizational, and structural social work interventions to address multilevel gaps in PrEP implementation. Findings illuminate the complexity of individual experiences and social discourses regarding PrEP and their impact on GBM and raise important issues for social workers to consider in working with GBM clients, service providers, and administrators.

同性恋、双性恋和其他男男性行为者的暴露前预防 (PrEP) 实施:对社会工作实践的影响

社会工作者从一开始就在应对艾滋病毒方面发挥了关键作用,在艾滋病毒预防、支持和宣传方面,包括同性恋、双性恋和其他男男性行为者 (GBM) 在内的受歧视人群。最近,社会工作者的任务是在艾滋病毒预防日益生物医学化的时代工作,包括暴露前预防 (PrEP),这是一种安全且高效的新型预防技术。然而,由于结构性障碍(包括缺乏医疗保险覆盖面)以及复杂的决策途径和参与过程导致 PrEP 获取的差异,为 PrEP 的实施带来了巨大挑战。确保公平获取资源和支持知情决策对社会工作价值观至关重要,但很少有已发表的文献考虑了 PrEP 社会工作干预。本文借鉴了 29 位 GBM 受访者的定性数据,以强调可能适用于社会工作干预的 PrEP 决策支持和获取方面的差距。作者描述了个人、人际、组织和结构性社会工作干预的机会,以解决 PrEP 实施中的多层次差距。调查结果阐明了关于 PrEP 的个人经历和社会话语的复杂性及其对 GBM 的影响,并提出了社会工作者在与 GBM 客户、服务提供者和管理人员合作时需要考虑的重要问题。和结构性社会工作干预措施,以解决 PrEP 实施中的多层次差距。调查结果阐明了关于 PrEP 的个人经历和社会话语的复杂性及其对 GBM 的影响,并提出了社会工作者在与 GBM 客户、服务提供者和管理人员合作时需要考虑的重要问题。和结构性社会工作干预措施,以解决 PrEP 实施中的多层次差距。调查结果阐明了关于 PrEP 的个人经历和社会话语的复杂性及其对 GBM 的影响,并提出了社会工作者在与 GBM 客户、服务提供者和管理人员合作时需要考虑的重要问题。
