Univariate Analysis of Patient and Provider Variables Associated With Having a PrEP Discussion During a Primary Care Visit

	PrEP Conversations	PrEP Conversations
	With Variable	With Variable
Variable	Present, %	Absent, %	P Value
Documentation of STI history (positive or negative)	57.7	21.4	<0.001
Documentation of condom use (consistent or inconsistent)	50.0	17.8	<0.001
HIV testing	47.0	0.0	<0.001
STI testing (other than HIV)	42.0	7.0	<0.001
Saw MSM specialist	47.2	21.5	0.005
Sexually active	31.5	0.0	0.077

HIV, human immunodeficiency virus; MSM, men who have sex with men; PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [Truvada]); STI, sexually transmitted infection.

Multiple Logistic Regression Analysis of Patient and Provider Variables Associated With Having a PrEP Discussion During a Primary Care Visit

Variable	Odds Ratio	P Value	95% Confidence Interval
Saw MSM specialist	5.05	0.002	1.81-14.10
Documentation of STI history (positive or negative)	5.41	0.003	1.80-16.23
Documentation of condom use (consistent or inconsistent)	3.32	0.015	1.27-8.74
Age ≤40 years	1.74	0.340	0.55-5.48
African American race	1.01	0.980	0.28-3.67

Note: Absence of HIV testing and no sexual activity during the study period both perfectly predicted no PrEP discussion and were forced out of the model.
MSM, men who have sex with men; PrEP, pre-exposure prophylaxis (emtricitabine/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate [Truvada]); STI, sexually transmitted infection.
