Implementation and Evaluation of Home-Based PrEP Monitoring: Practical Solutions and Value
Overview
HIV prevention remains a priority in public health. The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of home-based pre-exposure prophylaxis (HB-PrEP) in improving PrEP uptake and retention.
Key Points
HB-PrEP offers a convenient and stigma-reducing alternative to traditional clinic visits for PrEP users.
The study involves sending home kits for self-collection of samples for testing, making monitoring easier for participants.
Primary outcomes include PrEP retention, user satisfaction, feasibility, PrEP adherence, and STI incidence.
The trial is ongoing, with promising early results showing feasibility and acceptability among participants.
Value and Solutions
Implementing HB-PrEP in sexual health clinics can help overcome barriers to PrEP initiation and continuation.
This approach increases individual agency in sexual health and expands clinic capacity to serve more PrEP users.
