Reaching at-risk women for PrEP delivery: What can we learn from clinical trials in sub-Saharan Africa

This descriptive qualitative study explored strategies used to reach at-risk women in clinical trials that test pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). Findings indicate that programs should use a combination of recruitment approaches tailored to the needs of the community. Informants also suggested that communication strategies promote PrEP as a tool to empower women to protect themselves and that fear-based messages about disease and risk should be avoided.
