Increasing Uptake of Prep Through Community Distribution: The Case of a CSO in Western Region of Ghana

Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is a very efficacious medicine for HIV prevention, but initial policy in Ghana required PrEP to be provided in health facilities, which led to low uptake. As a pioneering civil society organization in HIV service provision for key populations in Ghana, Maritime Life Precious Foundation (MLPF), a sub-grantee of the JSI Research & Training Institute, Inc., (JSI)- managed USAID Strengthening the Care Continuum project, piloted a community-based service delivery model to increase PrEP uptake.
