Ever taken a break from PrEP?

Researchers at La Trobe University would love to hear from you for a new study on your experiences of discontinuing, pausing or restarting oral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP).

Who is eligible?

You can take part if you:

  • Have regularly used PrEP, now or in the past (including regular on-demand use)
  • Have at some point stopped taking PrEP, either permanently or temporarily
  • Are living in Australia (you don’t need to be a permanent resident).
  • Aged 18 years +
  • Identify as a gay or bisexual man (including trans men)
  • Are currently eligible to be prescribed PrEP

What is involved?

Participation involves a 60-minute confidential audio-recorded interview. We will ask you questions about:

  • Your experiences of discontinuing PrEP
  • Reasons for recommencing PrEP or reasons for not recommencing PrEP
  • Barriers to recommencing PrEP use
  • Perceptions of HIV risk
  • HIV prevention strategies used during periods of non-PrEP use, and sexual health management when not using PrEP
