Acceptability of secondary distribution of HIV self-testing kits in central Kenya
The secondary distribution of HIV self-testing (HIVST) kits has the potential to improve access and uptake of HIV testing. This study assessed the acceptability of secondary distribution of HIVST by people living with HIV (PLHIV) to their sexual partners in Central Kenya and explored the broader perspectives on this strategy. Conducted between November 2019 and April 2023, the study was nested within an interventional study that implemented two a…
Performance of Multiple Adherence Measures for pre-exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) Among Young Women in Kenya
Trajectories of Oral PrEP Adherence Among Young Kenyan Women
Sexually Transmitted Infections Among Kenyan Adolescent Girls and Young Women With Limited Sexual Experience
Objectives Globally, the highest rates of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) are among the 15-24 age group. Studying adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) pre-sexual debut could identify risk factors for STI acquisition. Methods We recruited a prospective cohort of low-risk AGYW aged 16-20 in Kenya. Participants were HIV and HSV-2 seronegative and reported no history of sexual intercourse or reported sex with one partner. Participants under…
Adherence to recommendations for ART and targeted PrEP use among HIV serodiscordant couples in East Africa
Half of participants completed the PrEP as a bridge to ART strategy and the majority stopped PrEP as recommended. These findings suggest that targeting PrEP to periods of risk is a promising approach; however, tailoring counseling around aligning PrEP use and HIV risk will be important for optimal strategy implementation
Sexual Behavior and Perceived HIV Risk Among HIV-Negative Members of Serodiscordant Couples in East Africa
Patterns of Oral PrEP Adherence and HIV Risk Among Eastern African Women in HIV Serodiscordant Partnerships
Gendered differences in the perceived risks and benefits of oral PrEP among HIV-serodiscordant couples in Kenya
Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is effective for preventing HIV among HIV-serodiscordant heterosexual couples. Gender roles may influence perceived personal and social risks related to HIV-prevention behaviors and may affect use of PrEP. In this study, interviews and focus groups were conducted with 68 individuals from 34 mutually disclosed serodiscordant heterosexual partnerships in Thika, Kenya. Sociocultural factors that affect adherence to Pr…

Antiretroviral Prophylaxis for HIV Prevention in Heterosexual Men and Women
BACKGROUND: Antiretroviral preexposure prophylaxis is a promising approach for preventing human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) infection in heterosexual populations. METHODS: We conducted a randomized trial of oral antiretroviral therapy for use as preexposure prophylaxis among HIV-1-serodiscordant heterosexual couples from Kenya and Uganda. The HIV-1-seronegative partner in each couple was randomly assigned to one of three study regimens-…
