DESCRIPTION:Program: HIV/AIDS Session: Eliminated HIV Related Disparities 
 - Poster Presentation Author: Jaquetta Reeves See all authors and present
 ers → Abstract Background Disparities in healthcare experiences and outco
 mes persist across racial and ethnic groups in the U.S. Medical mistrust 
 and prior negative healthcare experiences have been linked to reduced hea
 lthcare usage and treatment adherence. We assessed associations between p
 revious healthcare experiences and PrEP awareness and acceptability in Bl
 ack women living in the U.S. South.Methods: We analyzed cross-sectional d
 ata from 491 Black women collected between March to June 2022. Participan
 ts identified as HIV negative Black females\, residing in Southern U.S. P
 articipants reported demographic information\, past healthcare experience
 s\, HIV knowledge and risk perception\, PrEP awareness\, and acceptabilit
 y. Logistic regression models were used to determine factors associated w
 ith PrEP awareness and acceptability. Results Participants included 491 B
 lack women (Mage= 40.42 [SD=17.52]\, 77% single). 40% were PrEP aware and
  26% willing to use PrEP. In adjusted regression models\, women with high
 er medical trust [aOR= 1.43\, 95% CI 1.04\, 1.96\, p = .026]\, higher neg
 ative healthcare stereotypes [aOR= 1.23\, 95% CI 1.01\, 1.50\, p = .038]\
 , younger age [aOR= .98\, 95% CI .97\, .99\, p = .002]\, and greater HIV 
 knowledge [aOR= 1.11\, 95% CI 1.01\, 1.21\, p = .027] had higher PrEP awa
 reness. PrEP acceptability was associated with HIV worry [aOR= 2.34\, 95%
  CI 1.42\, 3.85\, p <.001] and recent HIV testing [aOR= 2.04\, 95% CI 1.2
 5\, 3.34\, p = .005]. Conclusions These findings reveal that prioritizing
  positive healthcare experiences through culturally sensitive care\, clea
 r communication\, and reducing healthcare disparities will be critical to
  improve PrEP uptake as a preventative measure for eligible Black women i
 n the U.S.\n\nSpeaker:\nJaquetta Reeves\n\nAdmission:\nRegistrationFees:
