Preferences for pre-exposure prophylaxis service package among men who have sex with men in Australia: a discrete choice experiment
There is a growing demand for alternatives to oral daily PrEP, with a significant group preferring services including long-acting oral or injectable PrEP and willing to pay a small fee to access it. The majority preferred decentralising access to PrEP through pharmacies. Diverse preferences for PrEP service delivery signify tailored PrEP implementation initiatives to increase PrEP coverage among underserviced populations.
