Hypothetical Preferences and Concerns for Long-Acting Injectable HIV PrEP Use Among Female Barmaids in Ubungo, Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania
The majority of the interviewees expressed strong interest in LAI PrEP and reported fewer concerns, emphasizing more convenience and discretion. Our findings suggest that since LAI can address challenges of adherence associated with daily PrEP pills, it is important to introduce it to expand HIV prevention options for barmaids and other women at risk of HIV in Tanzania.
