Breaking down relationship barriers to increase PrEP uptake and adherence among adolescent girls and young women in Kenya: safety and preliminary effectiveness results from a pilot cluster-randomized trial
CONCLUSIONS: Tu'Washindi shows promise in promoting PrEP uptake and adherence among AGYW without concomitant increases in IPV; however, adherence was still suboptimal. Further research is needed to determine whether these gains translate to increases in the proportion of AGYW with protective levels of PrEP adherence and to evaluate the potential for the intervention to reduce IPV risk.PMID:38123866 | PMC:PMC10733161 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26198 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)

PrEP initiation and discontinuation among transgender women in the United States: a longitudinal, mixed methods cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: PrEP initiation rates were low and discontinuation rates were high. Complex motivations to stop using PrEP did not consistently correspond with HIV acquisition risk reduction. Evidence-based interventions to increase PrEP persistence among transgender women with ongoing acquisition risk and provide HIV prevention support for those who discontinue PrEP are necessary to reduce HIV incidence in this population.PMID:38123897 | PMC:PMC10733152 | DOI:10.1002/jia2.26199 (Source: Journal of the International AIDS Society)
