Health and economic impact of oral PrEP provision across subgroups in western Kenya: a modelling analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a priority intervention for scale-up in countries with high HIV prevalence. Policymakers must decide how to optimise PrEP allocation to maximise health benefits within limited budgets. We assessed the health and economic impact of PrEP scale-up among different subgroups and regions in western Kenya.

Methods

We adapted an agent-based network model, EMOD-HIV, to simulate PrEP uptake in six counties of western Kenya across seven subgroups including serodiscordant couples (SDCs), adolescent girls and young women (AGYW), adolescent boys and young men, women with multiple partners and men with multiple partners. We modelled 5 years of PrEP provision assuming 90% PrEP uptake in the prioritised subgroups and evaluated outcomes ove
