“Something Like That”: Awareness and Acceptability of HIV PrEP and PEP Among Kenyan Adolescents
Low awareness and poor understanding of PrEP and PEP among adolescents reveal the need for increased education and sensitization about these HIV prevention options. Expanding access to sexual and reproductive health services that are tailored to the needs of adolescents and staffed with non-judgmental providers could help reduce sexuality stigma as a barrier to accessing care. New HIV prevention approaches such as long-acting injectables or implants, on-demand regimens, and multipurpose prevention technologies may encourage increased uptake of PrEP and PEP by adolescents.
