Pharmacy Delivery of PrEP and HIVST for Adolescent Girls and Young Women seeking Emergency Contraception at Community Pharmacies in Uganda: Formative Research
REFNo: HS2037ES
Aim 1: To assess the willingness of providing HIV self-testing and PrEP to AGYW seeking emergency contraception at community pharmacies.
Approach: Using the social-ecological model, fig 2, we will conduct surveys with AGYW approximately 130 seeking EC at community pharmacies within a radius of 45km from the Infectious Diseases Institute-Kasangati (IDI-K) research center, to evaluate knowledge of HIVST and PrEP and acceptability of accessing HIVST and PrEP through a pharmacy. In addition, we will purposefully select a subsample of up to 30 to undergo in-depth interviews (IDIs) to explore potential barriers and facilitators of HIVST and PrEP delivery at community pharmacies.
Hypothesis: AGYW seeking EC at community pharmacies will be willing to use HIVST and PrEP and will highlight potential barriers and facilitators to accessing PrEP at community pharmacies
Aim 2: To identify readiness of pharmacy providers regarding AGYW sexual health and specifically HIVST, emergency contraception, and PrEP
Approach: To assess the readiness, knowledge gaps, and training needs of community pharmacists to deliver HIVST and PrEP alongside EC, we will conduct up to 20 IDIs with providers (pharmacy technicians, nurses, and pharmacists) from private pharmacies who under the pharmaceutical society of Uganda have agreed to be included in the study.
Hypothesis: Addressing knowledge gaps of pharmacy providers will inform delivery of sexual health services to AGYW.
