Uptake and continuation of HIV pre‐exposure prophylaxis among women of reproductive age in two health facilities in Kisumu County, Kenya

Abstract

The low eligibility for oral PrEP observed among women 15-49 years in an urban setting with high HIV prevalence calls for a review of the screening process to validate the sensitivity of the screening tool and its proper application. The low uptake and continuation among adolescent girls and young women underscores the need to identify and address specific patient- and facility-level barriers affecting different sub-populations at risk for HIV acquisition.
