Evaluation of open-label Pre exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) delivery amongKenyan women |
Brief summary describing the background
and objectives of the trial
|
Women of 16-25 years represent three of the four million young people living with HIV in Africa, with highest annual incidence rates reported globally. Open label Pre exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) studies demonstrated high PrEP uptake when adherence to PrEP use is high. PrEP is the use of anti-HIV medication that prevents HIV negative individuals at substantial risk of getting HIV by taking a daily pill.
WHO recommends daily oral PrEP containing tenofovir for the prevention of HIV infection in persons at substantial HIV risk. Kenya regulatory authority approved an indication for PrEP based on clinical safety and efficacy data. Oral PrEP delivery has been defined as an emerging part of standard of care for HIV prevention in Kenya, thus, young women are key in PrEP implementation.This study seeks to evaluate PrEP delivery, uptake, use as it relates to contraceptive use, pregnancy, sexual exposure, timing and reasons for discontinuation, HIV incidence and HIV drug resistance among sero converters; the characteristics of young women who initiate PrEP or do not during follow-up.
