Share your perception of HIV prevention and PrEP.

The goal of our study is to understand how PrEP can be promoted authentically and affirmingly in Southern communities. We want to hear from gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men on what they want from messaging about HIV prevention and how they want to receive such information. We’re focused on recognizing, understanding, and including the lived experiences of the community as we learn what topics the community wants HIV prevention messaging to include, and what methods and channels of information matter most. We hope to understand how factors such as stigma, racism, and homophobia affect PrEP messaging by better understanding what HIV prevention information matters to gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men in Southern communities, and how they acquire that information. With a dedication to diverse and genuine representation and community participation, we can create and promote impactful, uplifting, and affirming messages about PrEP. Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men who are self-reported HIV negative and ages 18 to 39 are eligible to participate. Join our study and Amplify Our Voice!

We’re seeking input from a diverse range of men to contribute to our study. Participants should be self-reported HIV-negative persons, ages 18-39 who are gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men. Participants have the option to remain anonymous if they are uncomfortable with submitting their personal information. With direct input from community members, we can create more meaningful and empowering HIV prevention messages with the goal of increasing PrEP uptake.
