“People have options”: a qualitative study of experiences and influences of PrEP choice among women in South Africa
These findings will guide strategies for PrEP delivery, emphasizing provider training, effective counselling tools and tailored communication. Women valued clear, jargon-free information, visual aids and a welcoming environment, which supported open dialogue. The influence of prior oral PrEP experiences on PrEP choice highlights the need for counselling that addresses specific concerns and preferences.
