• This document includes interim findings from the OPTIONS situation analysis for Kenya,completed by FSG with significant input and consultation from LVCT Health

• The situation analysis aims to take a comprehensive and robust approach to assessing the“state of the field” for PrEP in Kenya, including opportunities and resources as well as gapsand expected challenges

• The situation analysis serves multiple purposes: it provides a basis for country consultationsand stakeholder engagement, it serves as a tool to clarify the roles, activities and investmentsneeded for the successful roll-out of PrEP, and it will inform the development of the OPTIONSinvestment cases for PrEP

• This document reflects findings from secondary research and in-country consultations withkey stakeholders

• This is designed as a “living document,” to serve as a repository for information regardingthe situation of PrEP in Kenya to be updated on an ongoing basis as additional informationbecomes available and progress ismade towards the roll-out of PrEP

• If you have any updates, additional information, or follow-up questions regarding thissituation analysis, please email Neeraja Bhavaraju at [email protected]

KeyConsiderationsforPrEP• Achieving national targets: Kenya has committed to addressing the

HIV/AIDS epidemic by setting a high goal for prevention: a 75% reductionin new infections by 2020.¹ However, the rate of reduction for adult HIVtransmission is slow, seeing only a 7% decrease from 2007-2013.¹ At thisrate, Kenya will not meet its goals. The number of new infections will notdecrease unless Kenya targets at-risk populations who are most severelyaffected: FSW, MSM, sero-discordant couples, PWID, AGYW, people inprison, and other marginalized populations.² PrEP could provide aneffective method for these populations who do not use other preventionoptions.

• Combination prevention: Impact models suggest that PrEP use by keypopulations in combination with the currently available set ofinterventions (behaviour change, early ART, male circumcision) wouldavert the highest number of infections. ²

• Equity and human rights: Kenya’s national plan states that “the success ofthe HIV response is dependent on protecting and promoting the rights ofthose who are socially excluded, marginalised and vulnerable.” ¹ Several ofthe high-risk populations for whom PrEP is most appropriate are alsomost discriminated against by Kenyan society. Currently, demonstrationprojects have shown promising results for the demand for PrEP amongthese populations, particularly among MSM and FSW. ³

• PrEP offers a gender-sensitive option for prevention:Women continue tobe disproportionately affected by HIV/AIDS, in particular AGYW ages 15-24. If implemented effectively, PrEP could give women the choice toprotect themselves against infection, regardless of their partner’spreference for sexual activity.

WhyPrEPisunderconsiderationinKenya ContextandquestionsaroundPrEP• Kenya’snationalplans(KASF,Revolution

Roadmap)includeprovisionofPrEPtokeypopulationsseverelyaffectedbyHIV

• ThePharmacyandPoisonsBoardapprovedPrEPinDecember2015,andnationaltreatmentandimplementationguidelinesexpected inJune2016
