Acceptability of Event-Driven and Long-Acting HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Formulations Among Transgender Women Engaged in Street-Based Sex Work in Baltimore, Maryland

Year: 2022
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: We assessed acceptability of nonoral HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) formulations among transgender women (TW) engaged in street-based sex work in Baltimore, Maryland. In a K-means cluster analysis, TW (N=36) were partitioned into groups characterized by high interest in long-acting injectable PrEP only (Injectable Enthusiasts, 36%), high interest in injectables and subdermal implants (Long-Acting Acceptors, 36%), and low interest across PrEP formulations (Non-Acceptors, 28%). TW's interest in novel PrEP agents varied widely across formulations (range: 22–66%) and clustered around numerous relational, occupational, and structural factors, highlighting the importance of availing multiple PrEP formulations for this impacted population.
