| Abstract |
Few studies of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to prevent HIV infection have focused on drug users. Between February to September 2013, we asked 351 opiate injectors entering detoxification treatment about HIV risk, knowledge about PrEP, and willingness to use a once daily PrEP pill under one of two randomly assigned effectiveness scenarios-40 % (low) or 90 % (high) effective in reducing HIV risk. Participants were 70 % male and 87 % non-Hispanic White. Only 7 % had heard of a drug to reduce HIV risk, yet once informed, 47 % would be willing to take such a pill [35 % of those in the low effectiveness scenario and 58 % in the high group (p < 0.001)]. Higher perceived HIV risk was associated with greater willingness to take medication. Increasing knowledge of PrEP and the rate of HIV reduction-effectiveness promised will influence its use among targeted high-risk drug users. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 2. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 15 August 2014.
All research outputs
#17,623,523
of 26,613,602 outputs
Outputs from AIDS and Behavior
#2,376
of 3,503 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#142,877
of 242,703 outputs
Outputs of similar age from AIDS and Behavior
#33
of 58 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 26,613,602 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 31st percentile – i.e., 31% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,503 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 8.0. This one is in the 29th percentile – i.e., 29% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 242,703 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 38th percentile – i.e., 38% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 58 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 37th percentile – i.e., 37% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
