The ATHENA Initiative is pleased to launch its most recent report, A Review of the Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis Research and Evidence Landscape in Kenya and Uganda for adolescent girls and young women. The primary aim of this review is to assess the landscape of HIV PrEP research including the global evidence base on PrEP and adolescent girls and young women. Further, it aims to create a knowledge base for ATHENA’s Young Women LEARN Project.
LEARN is a tremendously vital and timely project given the HIV epidemiological and PrEP context in Kenya and Uganda, as it will develop a robust, relevant knowledge base to inform PrEP roll-out and implementation while also partnering with adolescent girls and young women as effective change agents.
