PrEP My Way: A Novel PrEP Delivery System to Meet the Needs of Young African Women

"Intervention components may be modified pending the input from Aim 1. As currently planned, the peer delivering the PrEP My Way kit will be trained to provide basic education and support use of the kit components. The peer will also have a smart phone to show an instructional video. Participants will communicate with peers via mobile phones (e.g., SMS, WhatsApp) to arrange for kit delivery at Months 1, 3, and 6 via unmarked vehicles at home or a preferred safe site during reasonable hours. Two-way mobile phone communication will also be used to convey test results and provide on-going support and empowerment. Follow-up with the clinic will occur at Month 6 and as needed (e.g., treatment for positive tests).~This intervention aims to increase adherence/persistence on PrEP. We hypothesize that removing the structural barriers and stigma associated with going to the clinic, women may be more likely to continue on PrEP."
