Using an on-site modular training approach to amplify prep service delivery in public health facilities in Kenya.

ABSTRACT: Delivery of oral PrEP, a potent HIV prevention intervention, has begun within public health systems in many countries in Africa. Training as many health providers as possible expeditiously is necessary to efficiently and rapidly scale up PrEP delivery among at risk populations and thereby realize the greatest impact of PrEP. We designed and implemented an innovative on-site modular training approach delivered in five two-hour modules. The modules could be covered in two consecutive days or be broken across several days enabling flexibility to accommodate health provider work schedules. We assessed knowledge gain comparing pre-and post-training test scores and determined monthly PrEP uptake for six months following the training intervention. We also evaluated the cost of this training appro
