Support for PrEP among New Jersey health care workers

We used an online survey of health care workers in New Jersey to assess awareness, perceptions, and support of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). We sampled respondents from diverse health care worker occupations, in HIV and non-HIV care settings. Of174 participants, awareness of PrEP was high at 91% (n=122), as was support for its use by members of at-risk groups (74%). Occupation was the only independent variable with significant variation in support of PrEP, with 41% of disease intervention specialists/health educators supporting PrEP completely, compared to93%of nurses.
