Understanding why clients stop taking pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is critical to improve PrEP delivery and ultimately reduce HIV incidence. We analyzed data from a programmatic evaluation conducted at the Los Angeles LGBT Center from February to May 2018. Of 180 respondents to the emailed survey, 91 had stopped taking PrEP and 11 never started. Among former PrEP users, most common reasons for stopping were entering a monogamous relationship (43%) and side effects (40%). Ten of 11 who never started PrEP reported access barriers (e.g., cost, insurance problems). A quarter of inactive clients re-engaged with PrEP services following the survey and 15% restarted PrEP by October 2018. Improving PrEP retention may require multifaceted interventions—e.g., tailored discussions about stopping and restarting PrEP safely as HIV risk changes, ensuring consistent access to affordable PrEP, and alternative dosing strategies. An emailed survey may be a simple, effective strategy to reengage some PrEP clients.
