About
To provide preliminary evidence about feasibility and acceptability of delivering PrEP to AGYW identified as potentially at high risk of HIV infection in Lilongwe city communities and two public facilities in Lilongwe, Malawi. The primary objective of the study is to assess the feasibility, acceptability, tolerability and cost of delivering PrEP among high-risk AGYW aged 18-24 years and healthcare providers in urban Lilongwe. Secondary objectives are (i) to assess the program's ability to enroll and retain a PrEP cohort for one year and (ii) measure the incidence of HIV infection among high risk AGYW in urban Lilongwe among women who decline to enroll in the PrEP study (these will be offered enrollment in the HIV incidence study).
