Preferences for HIV pre‐exposure prophylaxis formulations and delivery among young African women: results of a discrete choice experiment
Young African women preferred discreet, less frequently administered PrEP formulations, particularly after 1 month of taking daily oral PrEP. Long-acting formulations are needed to meet women's preferences. Coupled with the preferred PrEP delivery location and cost, the highlighted PrEP product characteristics have the potential to increase PrEP uptake.
