Human resource challenges to integrating HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) into the public health system in Kenya: A qualitative study

Human resource challenges related to the rollout in Kenya of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV included increased workload, insufficient personnel, the need for task shifting or sharing, training needs, infrastructural requirements, staff discrimination and stigma toward at-risk clients and providers’ personal priorities about offering PrEP. These challenges paralleled challenges to the integration of antiretroviral therapy and could be partially addressed prior to PrEP rollout.
