Summary

This study tested a new way to get more young women in Kenya to start taking PrEP, a daily pill that prevents HIV. Instead of relying on clinics or ads, the study asked young women already on PrEP to refer their friends and give them HIV self-test kits. The goal was to see if this peer-to-peer approach would help more at-risk young women start and stay on PrEP.
