Abstract

The introduction of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention was a major breakthrough in South Africa (SA). While the initial introduction focused on issues such as the development and implementation of new guidelines, supply, and the development of demand creation strategies, the need to integrate PrEP services with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services has gained traction both globally and locally. Project PrEP was implemented in eight healthcare facilities and four mobile clinics in three provinces in SA. Using monitoring data from across the four project clusters, and 4,949 clients, over a 21-month period, we conducted an analysis of baseline routine monitoring data to examine contraceptive uptake in adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) initiating PrEP at project sites. Two-thirds of women (62.3%, = 3,083) reported the current use of contraception at baseline, with the most commonly used methods being hormonal injectables (61.9%, = 1,829) and male condoms (19.4%, = 575). A third (32.3%, = 603) of the non-contraceptive users accepted a method at PrEP initiation. From a total of 1,007 (32.7%) current contraceptive users at baseline, 865 (85.9%) chose the same or a different method at this visit. The method uptake at PrEP initiation increased the overall contraceptive prevalence by 12.2 to 74.5%. Data indicated that over a third (38.8%, = 725) who were not using a method at baseline described themselves as consistent condom users. Although a major focus of the project was on PrEP service provision, all women were counseled and offered contraceptive services. The acceptance of a method by a third of non-users was promising; however, more understanding of those who did not take up a method is required. The need to leverage opportunities for the promotion of the integration of HIV and family planning at all levels of PrEP provision was highlighted.

摘要

口服暴露前预防(PrEP)用于预防艾滋病病毒在南非是一项重大突破。虽然最初的引入重点关注新指南的制定与实施、供应以及需求创造策略的制定等问题,但将PrEP服务与性健康和生殖健康(SRH)服务相结合的需求在全球和当地都受到了关注。PrEP项目在南非三个省份的八个医疗机构和四个移动诊所实施。利用来自四个项目集群的监测数据以及21个月期间的4949名客户,我们对基线常规监测数据进行了分析,以研究在项目地点开始PrEP的少女和年轻女性(AGYW)的避孕措施采用情况。三分之二的女性(62.3%,n = 3083)在基线时报告当前正在使用避孕措施,最常用的方法是激素注射剂(61.9%,n = 1829)和男用避孕套(19.4%,n = 575)。三分之一(32.3%,n = 603)未采取避孕措施的使用者在开始PrEP时接受了一种避孕方法。在基线时总共1007名(32.7%)当前采取避孕措施的使用者中,可以在此次就诊时选择相同或不同的方法。开始PrEP时的避孕方法采用使总体避孕普及率提高了12.2个百分点,达到74.5%。数据表明,超过三分之一(38.8%,n = 725)在基线时未采取避孕措施的人将自己描述为始终使用避孕套的人。虽然该项目的主要重点是提供PrEP服务,但所有女性都接受了咨询并获得了避孕服务。三分之一未使用者接受一种避孕方法是很有希望的;然而,需要更多地了解那些未采取避孕措施的人。强调了在PrEP提供的各个层面利用机会促进艾滋病毒与计划生育整合的必要性。
