Treatments
No_intervention: Control (Usual care)
The control period (usual care) will be when the clinics are still implementing the usual care model, prior to implementing the intervention. Prior to launching the intervention, all facilities will have a baseline phase of 3 months. That time, in conjunction with other periods when the clinics are implementing usual care will serve as the control period.
Experimental: HTS counselor-led PrEP care model
During the intervention period, all core components of PrEP delivery - including HIV testing, eligibility assessment, dispensing, adherence counseling, and provision of refills will be conducted by existing facility HTS counselor as part of standard of care.
