Self-reported knowledge about PrEP ranging from knowing nothing to knowing a lot. Higher knowledge levels are associated with greater willingness to use PrEP.

Whether respondents have ever taken PrEP at any point. This captures lifetime uptake regardless of current use status.

Among those who have ever used PrEP, the proportion currently taking it. The gap between ever-use and current use may reflect discontinuation or adherence challenges.

Type of PrEP used among those with PrEP experience, including oral daily pills (Truvada/Descovy) and injectable options (Apretude).

Preferred PrEP modality among respondents. Interest in injectable PrEP may indicate demand for longer-acting alternatives that reduce daily adherence burden.

Respondents' stated intention to start or continue PrEP. Intent is a key predictor of future PrEP uptake in behavioral models.

Whether respondents know where to access PrEP services. Awareness of access points is critical for translating PrEP interest into actual use.

PrEP awareness rates compared across racial/ethnic groups. Disparities in awareness may reflect differences in outreach, healthcare access, or community-level exposure to PrEP information. How to read: Each group shows side-by-side bars comparing response categories. Longer bars indicate a higher percentage within that group.

PrEP awareness stratified by gender identity. Gender-based differences may point to gaps in targeted outreach and messaging. How to read: Each group shows side-by-side bars comparing response categories. Longer bars indicate a higher percentage within that group.

Lifetime PrEP use rates by racial/ethnic group. Differences in uptake may reflect systemic barriers including healthcare access, trust, and insurance coverage. How to read: Each group shows side-by-side bars comparing response categories. Longer bars indicate a higher percentage within that group.

PrEP awareness across household income levels. Income may correlate with healthcare engagement and exposure to PrEP education. How to read: Each group shows side-by-side bars comparing response categories. Longer bars indicate a higher percentage within that group.

PrEP awareness by sexual orientation. Groups with higher HIV risk may have greater exposure to PrEP messaging through community networks and targeted campaigns. How to read: Each group shows side-by-side bars comparing response categories. Longer bars indicate a higher percentage within that group.

PrEP use history across income levels. Cost and insurance status are common barriers, though assistance programs exist for lower-income individuals. How to read: Each group shows side-by-side bars comparing response categories. Longer bars indicate a higher percentage within that group.

Intention to use PrEP compared by race/ethnicity. Differences in intent can highlight where additional intervention and trust-building efforts are needed. How to read: Each group shows side-by-side bars comparing response categories. Longer bars indicate a higher percentage within that group.
