Abstract

Men who have sex with men (MSM) experience intimate partner violence (IPV) and are at an elevated risk of HIV acquisition. Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an effective preventative measure against HIV. However, its adoption and consistent use among MSM, especially those experiencing IPV, is low. This scoping review summarizes literature relevant to HIV PrEP, focusing on MSM who experience IPV. Of the 110 studies identified, eight eligible studies met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Most of these were conducted in the United States, focusing exclusively on adult MSM. Most studies evaluated daily oral PrEP. The studies assessed the impact of IPV on respondent's knowledge, willingness, preference, and PrEP use and revealed varying levels of association between IPV and PrEP. Future research is essential to develop practice guidelines and policy to enhance PrEP uptake in this vulnerable population.
