Lived experiences with pre-exposure prophylaxis uptake and adherence among transgender women in Thailand: a qualitative study

This study aimed to provide a deeper understanding of transgender women’s experiences of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake and adherence, and to identify major barriers to PrEP use to inform intervention adaptation. We interviewed 20 young transgender women and 10 health care providers from two HIV clinics in Bangkok, Thailand. Our findings deepen the current understanding of barriers to PrEP use, and inform the development of effective interventions to promote PrEP use.
