Women's preferences for HIV prevention service delivery in pharmacies during pregnancy in Western Kenya: a discrete choice experiment.

Introduction: Pharmacy-delivered HIV prevention services might create more options for pregnant women to use HIV prevention tools earlier and more consistently during pregnancy. We quantified preferences for attributes of potential HIV prevention services among women of childbearing age in Western Kenya.

Methods: From June to November 2023, we administered a face-to-face discrete choice experiment survey to women aged 15-44 in Kenya's Homa Bay, Kisumu and Siaya counties.

Understanding factors influencing home pregnancy test use among women in western Kenya: A qualitative analysis.

Background: There are limited data on home pregnancy test use among women in low-and-middle-income countries. A prior survey found that only 20% of women in western Kenya used a home pregnancy test to confirm their pregnancies before going to antenatal care. This qualitative study aims to understand why women do not use home pregnancy tests in early pregnancy.
