We identified changes in the healthcare system, sexual and relationship contexts, and Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy as important issues driven by Covid-19 with significant implications for PrEP use. The Covid-19 pandemic has changed the healthcare and social landscape in profound ways that impact PrEP access, sexual networks, and associated HIV vulnerability. Future research further exploring relationships between specific pandemic stressors and HIV prevention among Black sexual minority men is recommended.
