Program in Kenyan family planning clinics connects at-risk women to PrEP

Almost a quarter of at-risk women screened at family planning clinics in Kenya initiated pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, for HIV prevention, and more than 40% of them returned for at least one refill, suggesting that integrating universal screening and counseling for PrEP in family planning clinics is feasible, researchers said.

Writing in PLOS Medicine, the researchers noted that such a program could serve as a “one-stop” location for family planning and PrEP.
