- Abstract
Objective: to know the profile of users of the Testing and Counseling Center registered to use HIV/AIDS pre-exposure prophylaxis in the city of Maringá. Methods: exploratory and descriptive study, with a qualitative approach, carried out in medical records from the Testing and Counseling Center in Maringá. Fifty-two users adhered to the new HIV preexposure prophylaxis prevention strategy in the municipality. Data were collected in April 2020. Descriptive statistical analysis was used to analyze the interviews. Results: The vast majority of research participants are male, white, single, with higher education and aged between 21 and 40 years. As for the profile of the key population, only one is transsexual, two are sex workers. 34.62% are characterized as serodifferent couples and 84.62% are men who have sex with men. Conclusion: It was possible to identify the profile of users who use pre-exposure prophylaxis to HIV/AIDS, which has been shown to be a combined prevention tool, especially among men who have sex with men. More epidemiological studies with other key populations, such as women, transsexuals and sex workers, are needed.
