Sex Transm Dis. 2023 Oct 1;50(10):671-674. doi: 10.1097/OLQ.0000000000001768. Epub 2023 Jan 13.

Abstract

We informed women who inject drugs about different preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) formulations; they then ranked their preferences. Daily oral PrEP was most preferred, followed by injectable PrEP and vaginal rings/gels, especially among women of color. Multiple PrEP options should be discussed with women who inject drugs to increase uptake.
