Black and Latina cisgender women are disproportionately impacted by HIV in the US. Although PrEP is effective at preventing HIV infection, uptake in this population remains low. The aim of the study was to examine sociodemographic, behavioral, clinical, and psychosocial factors associated with PrEP initiation (defined as receiving a PrEP prescription) among 565 cisgender women enrolled in an HIV prevention services coordination program in NYC from January 2017 to December 2019 who met HIV risk criteria for PrEP. Of these, 26% initiated PrEP. Latina women were significantly more likely than white women to have initiated PrEP (Latina: 29.7%; Black: 26.1%; White: 16.3%; Other: 7.4%). PrEP initiation was significantly associated with PrEP awareness, an annual income < $20,000, being unstably housed, receiving benefits navigation services, and reporting non-injection drug use and/or a recent sexual relationship with an HIV-positive partner. The relatively low rate of PrEP initiation we observed suggests the need to increase PrEP access and uptake among women, particularly Black and Latina women who continue to be disproportionately at risk for HIV.
