Pre-exposure prophylaxis persistence at two sites in an integrated primary health care programme in South Africa

We have shown that most people stop taking PrEP before their second PrEP refill and individuals >24 years had longer PrEP persistence than individuals aged 15-19 years. Service delivery factors appear to have a substantial effect on PrEP persistence. Health facilities should continue to make PrEP accessible by integrating PrEP with existing services to promote PrEP persistence.
