Assessment of awareness and willingness to use pre-exposure prophylaxis for HIV prevention among female sex workers in Rwanda: a cross sectional study
This study demonstrates high awareness and willingness to use PrEP among FSWs in Kigali. However, among those who reported consistent condom use and those unscreened for STIs were less aware of PrEP, and willingness to use it varied based on education and STI screening status. These findings underscore the need for targeted health education and STI screening initiatives to enhance PrEP uptake and strengthen HIV prevention efforts in this vulnerable population.
