Middle-income countries with concentrated epidemics still face multiple challenges to implement PrEP, including low acceptability among health providers and programme managers due to concerns related to cost-effectiveness, sustainability, adherence needs and potential risk compensation, while potential users may have concerns about stigma or secondary effects. Participants in this workshop will:
1. Identify key resources, challenges, and opportunities related to a PrEP demonstration project, according to healthcare providers’, policy makers’, and community members’ perspectives; 
2. Prepare an outline of a proposal of a PrEP demonstration project for middle-income countries with concentrated epidemics.
