Reduction Act Review 

In accordance with the Paperwork 

Reduction Act of 1995, the Centers for 

Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) 

has submitted the information 

collection request titled Understanding 

Decisions and Barriers about PrEP Use 

and Uptake Among Men Who Have Sex 

With Men to the Office of Management 

and Budget (OMB) for review and 

approval. CDC previously published a 

‘‘Proposed Data Collection Submitted 

for Public Comment and 

Recommendations’’ notice on October 

10, 2017 to obtain comments from the 

public and affected agencies. CDC did 

not receive comments related to the 

previous notice. This notice serves to 

allow an additional 30 days for public 

and affected agency comments. 

CDC will accept all comments for this 

proposed information collection project. 

The Office of Management and Budget 

is particularly interested in comments 

that: 

(a) Evaluate whether the proposed 

collection of information is necessary 

for the proper performance of the 

functions of the agency, including 

whether the information will have 

practical utility; 

(b) Evaluate the accuracy of the 

agencies estimate of the burden of the 

proposed collection of information, 

including the validity of the 

methodology and assumptions used; 

(c) Enhance the quality, utility, and 

clarity of the information to be 

collected; 

(d) Minimize the burden of the 

collection of information on those who

are to respond, including, through the 

use of appropriate automated, 

electronic, mechanical, or other 

technological collection techniques or 

other forms of information technology, 

e.g., permitting electronic submission of 

responses; and 

(e) Assess information collection 

costs. 

To request additional information on 

the proposed project or to obtain a copy 

of the information collection plan and 

instruments, call (404) 639–7570 or 

send an email to omb@cdc.gov. Direct 

written comments and/or suggestions

Proposed Project 

Understanding Decisions and Barriers 

about PrEP Use and Uptake Among Men 

Who Have Sex With Men—New— 

National Center for HIV/AIDS, Viral 

Hepatitis, STD, and TB Prevention, 

Centers for Disease Control and 

Prevention (CDC). 

Background and Brief Description 

This project involves original, 

formative research toward improving 

the uptake and adherence necessary to 

achieve efficacious levels of protection 

offered by pre-exposure prophylaxis 

(PrEP) among the most highly affected 

population. HIV incidence and 

prevalence are higher among gay, 

bisexual, and other men who have sex 

with men (MSM) than any other risk 

group in the U.S. Approximately half of 

all diagnosed HIV infections are among 

gay, bisexual, and other MSM. The 

FDA-approved PrEP regimen, daily 

Tenofovir/emtricitabine (aka Truvada®), 

has shown greater than 90% efficacy in 

reducing HIV infections among MSM 

when taken in accordance with its 

prescribed daily schedule. In 2014, CDC 

published clinical practice guidelines 

for the use of PrEP in high-risk 

populations, and began national 

promotion of PrEP as an effective HIV 

prevention strategy for MSM. While 

hailed as an HIV-prevention ‘‘gamechanger,’’ in reality PrEP uptake has 

been slow. Some studies report a wide 

range in the percentages of MSM (28– 

81%) interested in PrEP. In addition, 

other studies indicate that specific cities 

have alarmingly low rates of PrEP 

uptake (for example, the estimate for 

Atlanta is 2%). Moreover, recent survey 

findings have shown that less than 1 in 

10 MSM on PrEP are adherent to their 

PrEP regimen; adherence is necessary to 

optimize efficacy. 

In order to develop effective programs 

that increase PrEP uptake among MSM 

at greatest risk for HIV, studies are 

needed to better understand the 

decisions men make about their HIV 

prevention needs. Qualitative methods 

will be used to explore in-depth the 

‘‘Whys’’ and ‘‘How’s’’ of MSM’s 

decisions to refuse or use PrEP, and 

barriers and challenges to successfully 

undertake a PrEP medication regimen. 

Quantitative methods will be used to 

understand the HIV risk behavior 

context, attitudes towards PrEP, health 

seeking behavior, and acceptability of 

new modes of PrEP delivery (that differ 

from current recommendation of daily 

PrEP and that are in development or 

discussion) and emerging biomedical 

HIV prevention options. 

The purpose of this research is to 

explore decisions, barriers, and 

facilitators about PrEP use among MSM: 

(1) Who were offered PrEP but refused 

it; (2) who were interested in or started 

a PrEP regimen but did not follow 

through; and (3) who are eligible for 

PrEP per CDC guidelines (report 

condomless anal sex within last three 

months) but not currently on PrEP. 

This study will provide insight on 

individual and community level PrEPrelated decision-making, and identify 

barriers and facilitators to successful 

PrEP initiation and PrEP acceptability. 

Findings will improve programming, in 

line with the CDC Division of HIV/AIDS 

Prevention goal of high-impact 

prevention to reduce HIV infections in 

the U.S. Findings will assist the CDC 

and frontline public health programs in 

identifying and designing programs and 

intervention approaches that encourage, 

support, and maintain appropriate PrEP 

uptake among eligible MSM and 

anticipate future HIV prevention needs, 

including anticipated changes in PrEP 

delivery. 

The total annual burden hours are 

335. There are no other costs to the 

respondents other than their time to 

participate.
