We examined PrEP awareness, utilization, and adherence, and identified predictors of uptake among FSWs engaged through One-Stop-Shop (OSS)-linked urban venues in Nigeria.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional survey was conducted among 146 FSWs using venue-based time-location sampling. Structured, interviewer-administered questionnaires assessed socio-demographic characteristics, PrEP knowledge and use, and exposure to HIV prevention services. Multivariate logistic regression was used to identify independent predictors of PrEP uptake.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PrEP awareness was high (76.7%), and among those aware, 92.0% had ever used PrEP. However, adherence was inconsistent: only 41.7% reported daily use, while the majority reported irregular or on-demand use. Peer educators and community-based HIV prevention workers were the most common information sources (69.6%). After adjusting for potential confounders, only participation in group sessions remained a significant independent predictor of PrEP uptake (adjusted Odds Ratio, aOR = 14.22; 95% confidence interval, CI: 1.44\u201331.61).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>FSWs linked to urban OSS platforms in Nigeria demonstrated high levels of PrEP awareness and use.
