Insurance- and medical provider-related barriers and facilitators to staying on PrEP: results from a qualitative study.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a highly effective biobehavioral strategy for preventing HIV acquisition. Although PrEP uptake has increased steadily, discontinuation rates are high among members of key populations like gay and bisexual men (GBM). Understanding the challenges that arise for PrEP users is key to better PrEP implementation and sustained use over time. We report on barriers that arose for PrEP-using GBM, as well as facilitating factors that aided PrEP persistence, with the goal of informing PrEP implementation efforts. In 2015-2016, 103 PrEP-using GBM in NYC completed qualitative interviews about their engagement with PrEP, including their experiences navigating PrEP-related medical care. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed thematically. Over half of participants (53%) received their PrEP-related care from their primary care provider (PCP), one-third (33%) from a community-based health clinic, and 13% from multiple medical providers. Emergent themes regarding the barriers and facilitators to PrEP persistence fell into two categories: insurance- and medical appointment-related barriers and facilitators to continued PrEP use. The experiences of PrEP-using GBM can provide useful insights for providers, program developers, and policymakers aiming to improve the implementation of PrEP. To support PrEP persistence, reliable insurance coverage, cost-assistance, and easy appointment scheduling are key to maintenance. Removing insurance- and appointment-related barriers to persistence may prove essential for sustaining use among GBM.
