Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This a prospective, open-label implementation project to catalyze integration of HIV prevention and PrEP care services for adolescent girls and young women in family planning clinics in Kenya.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Investigators will conduct a stepped-wedge cluster-randomized programmatic project to integrate PrEP provision within a combination HIV prevention package in 12 family planning clinics in Kisumu, Kenya- a region with an HIV prevalence of up to 28% among young women. The project will optimize and sustain PrEP delivery with existing family planning staff, supported through training and ongoing technical assistance. The investigators will rigorously evaluate program reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, maintenance, and impact using validated implementation science frameworks and how clinics build new efficient delivery systems.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PrEP for HIV-1 uninfected for women accessing family planning

Women accessing family planning will be assessed for HIV risk and PrEP eligibility. If eligible and willing to initiate PrEP, they will be provided PrEP in accordance with national guidelines as part of their standard of care at the family planning clinic.

Group Type OTHER

PrEP

Intervention Type DRUG

A fixed-dose, oral co-formulation of emtricitabine (FTC)/tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) is the approved and preferred regimen for HIV-1 prevention in Kenya and the United States. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends TDF-containing medications as PrEP, which includes TDF combined with FTC as well as potentially TDF alone and TDF combined with lamivudine (or 3TC, a medication closely related to FTC). Any TDF-containing medications that align with WHO and Kenya national guidelines for PrEP will be used. PrEP medication will come from clinic stocks.
