Co-designing interventions with multiple stakeholders to address barriers and promote equitable access to HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) in Black women in England
This study highlights the importance of co-designing interventions with Black women to address multi-level barriers to PrEP access. It underscores the need for community education, healthcare system reforms, and the inclusion of Black women in decision-making processes to reduce PrEP equity gaps. The co-designed interventions provided a tailored, context-specific strategy that could improve PrEP uptake among Black women in England.
