Perceptions of Long-Acting Injectable Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Among Men Who Have Sex With Men and Transgender Individuals in Europe Using Structural Text Modeling Technique: Cross-Sectional Study
Our research showed that MSM and trans* individuals in Europe generally have a positive outlook on LA-PrEP, suggesting it is likely to be well accepted upon its introduction in Europe. However, a subset of the target population may be hesitant to adopt LA-PrEP, underscoring the need for alternative HIV prevention strategies tailored to these individuals. To support potential future LA-PrEP implementation in Europe and to maximize its impact, appropriate communication strategies are essential for supporting informed decision-making.
