PrEP choice in the real world: Results of a prospective cohort study describing uptake and use patterns of oral PrEP and the dapivirine vaginal ring among women in sub‐Saharan Africa
We demonstrated that women took advantage of PrEP choice. PrEP use varied by product, with 1 month return and method continuation higher for the ring. AGYW had a greater risk of discontinuing either method, suggesting more support is needed.
