Treatments
No_intervention: Control arm- Usual PrEP care pathway
At clinics that will serve as contemporaneous control clinics, eligible persons will receive PrEP according to the current client flow, which typically involves multiple room consultations. Quality improvement strategies will be promoted throughout the implementation period.
Other: Intervention Arm- One Stop PrEP care pathway
In a one-stop arm, the number of client consultation rooms in the PrEP care pathway will be reduced to a single consultation room. All core PrEP services that include HIV testing, risk assessment, clinical review PrEP initiation, prescription, dispensing, and follow-up will be performed in a one-stop consultation with a single provider. Quality improvement strategies will be promoted throughout the implementation period.
