Overview

Analysis shows awareness of pre-exposure prophylaxis is low among women of reproductive age in Kenya, highlighting urgent need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Less than 50% of women of reproductive age in Kenya are aware of pre-exposure prophylaxis, indicating a significant gap in knowledge.
  • Major factors influencing PrEP awareness include education level, HIV knowledge, and cultural background, especially among regional populations.
  • About 75% of women expressed acceptability towards PrEP, yet the awareness among them remains low, emphasizing a disconnect.
  • Targeted interventions should integrate PrEP education across various platforms to improve both awareness and uptake of prevention methods.
