'Unless' introduces a condition that must not be true for the main clause to occur and is synonymous with 'if not,' whereas 'as long as' and 'provided that' introduce conditions that must be true for the main clause to occur, equivalent to 'if' or 'except if.' For example, 'He would be at the party, unless he was working' implies he won’t be there only if he is working, whereas 'He would be at the party, as long as he wasn't working' implies he will be there if he isn’t working .
