HIV risk perception is an important factor in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This paper presents how self-risk perception plays an important role in whether men who have sex with men (MSM) and transgender women (TG) initiate PrEP. The authors state the need to assess a patient’s risk perception and provide HIV education and counseling that will improve the accuracy of perceived HIV risk.
