Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness, attitudes and uptake willingness among young people: gender differences and associated factors in two South African districts.

Conclusions: The study shows young people's low levels of PrEP awareness. It also shows relatively increased willingness, gendered PrEP awareness and distribution preferences. Promoting youth's PrEP awareness requires a multifarious media strategy.
