Participants perceived higher likelihood to talk about PrEP or success in encouraging alters to use PrEP if, relative to meeting sexual partners on Grindr, they met at a friend's party, gay-centric community event, or school/work. Participants believed they would have less success convincing sexual partners to use PrEP if partners were older. Closeness between participants and sexual partners played a role in PrEP conversation and encouragement. Egocentric-level data were collected from 2018-2019 and analyzed using multilevel modeling. Participants were recruited using respondent-driven sampling methods from a Miami-Dade County community-health organization. To understand the influence of LMSM sexual networks on PrEP-related conversations and encouragement to use PrEP, this cross-sectional egocentric network study characterized the PrEP-related communication of 130 LMSM egos with 507 sexual partners (alters). Despite the increasing availability of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), Latinx men who have sex with men (LMSM) are not receiving PrEP-related information.
