Use of lubricants with anal sex could increase risk of HIV

months prior to their enrolling in the study.

While 44.8 percent of the participants had heard of post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for preventing HIV, whereby anti-HIV drugs are administered within 72 hours of an exposure, such as through unprotected sex or an occupational needle-stick injury, only 20 percent had heard of PrEP. However, once participants were informed about both approaches, as well as about rectal microbicides, nearly 60 percent indicated they would likely use PEP, 40 percent said they would use PrEP, and half said they would likely use a rectal gel for prevention. The responses did not differ by demographic characteristics. Men who indicated they were most likely to use rectal microbicides were also more likely to use PrEP. While the study was small, the results are instructive to efforts for raising awareness and understanding about the HIV prevention approaches that are currently in clinical trials. This in turn may help facilitate adherence to and improve effectiveness of these approaches if they become widely introduced, say the researchers.
