Implementation guidance for simplified and differentiated service delivery of PrEP for HIV prevention
The WHO has issued a new technical brief offering implementation guidance for simplified and differentiated delivery of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention. It aims to help stakeholders effectively plan and implement PrEP services. Topics include starting, using, and stopping oral PrEP, screening for hepatitis B and C viruses, monitoring kidney function, and incorporating HIV self-testing for PrEP. The brief stresses a person- and community-centered approach to service delivery, adapting to individual needs and preferences. Updates on PrEP are available through the WHO Global PrEP Network webinars.
