Background: Adherence to daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is low among African young women, and layered support strategies are needed to improve PrEP adherence in this population. We aimed to evaluate potentially scalable adherence-support strategies for young women aged 18-25 years who initiated PrEP in Johannesburg, South Africa.
Methods: We conducted a sequential multiple-assignment randomised trial at Ward 21 of the Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute clinical research site, affiliated with University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa.

Introduction: HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) has been publicly available since 2018 in Australia as a daily regimen. In 2019, clinical guidelines were updated to support guidance on event-driven PrEP (ED-PrEP) use. We assessed trends in the PrEP dosing regimen by comparing daily PrEP use to ED-PrEP among cisgender gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men (GBMSM).

Despite advancements in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) treatment and prevention, disparities in pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) uptake and viral suppression persist across different demographics. This study analyzes data from America's HIV Epidemic Analysis Dashboard (AHEAD) National Database to identify and understand these disparities based on age, gender, and race/ethnicity. In this study, we utilized the AHEAD National Database, which tracks HIV indicators across various demographics, including age, gender, and race/ethnicity.

The Southern United States (US) bears the highest burden of HIV prevalence in the country, disproportionately affecting African American communities. Despite the proven efficacy of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) in reducing HIV transmission, its uptake remains suboptimal in this region. This study aimed to identify factors influencing PrEP-prescribing behaviors among primary care providers (PCPs) in the Southern US through the application of the transtheoretical model of behavior change.
