This session explores intersectional barriers and coping strategies in PrEP disclosure among Ugandan adolescent girls engaged in transactional sex. Using qualitative insights, we examine stigma, gender norms, and structural challenges while highlighting resilience and adaptive strategies. Findings inform multi-level interventions to enhance PrEP access, acceptance, and disclosure in marginalized communities
