Abstract
Preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is the administration of antiretroviral (ART) drugs to HIV negative individuals who are at high risk of acquisition of the virus which is a prevention strategy to minimize the new incidence of HIV among key populations like Female sex workers (FSWs). PrEP reduces the risk of getting HIV from sex by about 99% when taken as prescribed.
However, FSWs face significant challenges in utilizing this intervention but this condition is not explored in Ethiopia
