A Scoping Review Investigating Relationships between Depression, Anxiety, and the PrEP Care Continuum in the United States

Men who have sex with men and transgender women in the United States are at increased risk for HIV and may benefit from pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), a once-a-day pill to prevent HIV. Due to stigma and discrimination, sexual and gender minority (SGM) populations are also at risk for depression an...
