Four providers were also interviewed (2 per study site). Semi-structured guides, based on the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR), elicited client and provider perceptions of contextual factors hypothesized to influence future LAI-PrEP implementation, mapped to CFIR constructs through team-based, deductive thematic analysis.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Many FSW conveyed strong acceptance and preferences for LAI-PrEP due to perceived advantages over oral PrEP including greater dosing privacy in clinical spaces, fewer dispensing intervals, and reduced stress from daily pill-taking. Providers perceived LAI-PrEP as a priority to augment existing HIV prevention services; however, financial investments, additional staff, and LAI-PrEP counseling training would be needed to enhance programmatic capabilities. Prioritization of non-discriminatory provider attitudes will be crucial to combat persistent racialized and economic inequities that exacerbate stigma against FSW in public healthcare facilities. Finally, decentralized delivery, utilizing community champions, and integrating LAI-PrEP with other health services emerged as promising strategies to ensure an equitable rollout of LAI-PrEP, assuming adequate global or national investment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Findings suggest that LAI-PrEP is perceived by both potential recipients and deliverers to effectively address several barriers to oral PrEP continuation, making it a promising advancement in the landscape of HIV prevention. Implementation strategies that integrate identified stakeholder priorities and preferences, anticipated barriers, and existing programmatic strengths, will likely optimize LAI-PrEP rollout among a historically marginalized population in South Africa.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/17455057261459283","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,13]],"date-time":"2026-06-13T13:02:30Z","timestamp":1781355750000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Implementation considerations for long-acting injectable PrEP rollout among female sex workers in South Africa: A qualitative analysis guided by the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-4921-939X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Emma L.","family":"McNeilly","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Carly A.","family":"Comins","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Venessa","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chitra","family":"Singh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TB HIV Care"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nosipho","family":"Dladla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TB HIV Care"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Nombuso","family":"Matenjwa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TB HIV Care"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0000-3468-0970","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Amal","family":"Abdulrahman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joel","family":"Steingo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TB HIV Care"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mfezi","family":"Mcingana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TB HIV Care"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Laura K.","family":"Beres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Joseph G.","family":"Rosen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Brown University"},{"name":"Rhode Island Hospital"},{"name":"Brown University"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Amrita","family":"Rao","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Stefan","family":"Baral","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sheree","family":"Schwartz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Harry","family":"Hausler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"TB HIV Care"},{"name":"University of Pretoria"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9858-5953","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katherine","family":"Rucinski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_3_7_2_2","volume-title":"The Sixth South African National HIV Prevalence, Incidence and Behaviour Survey, 2022.
