National costed implementation plans, roadmaps for successful product implementation, are often overlooked. International stakeholders engaged in oral PrEP planning, introduction an information resource of lessons learned advise LA-PrEP planning. We consulted such international synthesised...
Costing and financing systematic implementation are recognized barriers to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) prevention. In the absence of empiric economic data, perspectives from international stakeholders involved in developing supporting daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) policy, programs can provide critical insights for costed plans support accelerate rollout novel long-acting PrEP (LA-PrEP) methods, such as monthly dapivirine vaginal ring (PrEP ring).
