Background: In 2017, the results of an 18-month follow-up showed only 0.002% of new HIV infections (of the 3/1069 in the high-risk group participating in PrEP treatment). In 2018, the HIV prevalence rate in the MSM group in Vietnam was 10.8%.

Methods: The study followed an analytical cross-sectional design and a sample size of 256 people, Research objective: determine the rate of adherence to PrEP and the factors related to non-adherence to PrEP. PrEP treatment and evaluation of PrEP treatment outcomes in high-risk subjects Subjects and research methods: People with HIV infection risk behaviors should register for PrEP treatment in Ba Ria-Vung Tau province in 2020.

Results: Men make up 52.7% of the population; the age group 21–40 makes up 80.5% of the population; the self- employed (46.4%), MSM (45.7%), and sex workers (39%); and PrEP adherence is 47.7%. Age, occupation, and use of condoms when having sex are factors associated with non-adherence to treatment with PrEP in a multivariate logistic regression analysis with variables when analyzing univariate regression with p<0.1. Only three subjects were newly infected with HIV.

Conclusion: Recommendations: counseling and support for treatment adherence, focusing on groups under 40 years old develop a peer network; guidelines for PrEP treatment include maintaining condom use during sex.
