Abstract in brief

Young men who have sex with men (YMSM) often practice rectal douching (RD) before receptive anal sex, and researchers are exploring the potential of adding microbicides to these products for HIV prevention.
The study found that half of the participants had douched at some point, with higher likelihood among racial-ethnic minorities and those who recently tested for HIV; increased douching frequency also correlated with greater acceptability of microbicides.
Developing products that align with existing behaviors, like rectal douching, could enhance HIV prevention strategies such as PrEP and microbicides, offering additional protection if proven effective.
