Abstract
Measuring empowerment is critical to understanding the level of control adolescents and young adults (AYA) have over their sexual and reproductive health (SRH) behaviors, and could provide a key window into addressing their unique SRH needs. We adapted the Sexual and Reproductive Empowerment (SRE) scale for AYA for use in an East African context. This multi-method qualitative study sampled 15-23 year-old female adolescents and young adults in Kisumu, Kenya. We conducted in-depth interviews (n = 30) and analyzed transcripts with an inductive, constant comparison approach. Empowerment domains were integrated with Kabeer's (1999) framework in a conceptual model, which we referenced to revise the original and develop new scale items. Items underwent expert review, and were condensed and translated through team-based consensus-building. We evaluated content validity in cognitive interviews (n = 25), during which item phrasing and word choice were revised to generate an adapted SRE scale. Participants (n = 55) had a median age of 18 (range 16-23), and 75% were under 19 years. We categorize three types of adaptations to the SRE scale: new item generation, item revision, and translation/linguistic considerations. We developed nine new items reflecting AYA's experiences and new domains of empowerment that emerged from the data; new domains relate to self-efficacy in accessing sexual and reproductive health care, and how material needs are met. All items were revised and translated to echo concepts and language relevant to participants, navigating the multilingualism common in many African countries. Centering the voices of female Kenyan AYA, this study provides insight into measuring the latent construct of adolescent sexual and reproductive empowerment in an East African setting, and supports the adapted SRE scale's content validity for Kenya. We detail our multi-method, theory-driven approach, contributing to limited methods guidance for measure adaptation across contexts and among diverse adolescent populations.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is an essential prevention strategy being scaled up for priority populations in Kenya, including for HIV serodiscordant couples. The COVID-19 pandemic posed challenges to PrEP rollout. We conducted a qualitative study of PrEP providers to understand how clinics adjusted PrEP delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. METHODS Since 2017, the Partners Scale-Up Project has integrated PrEP into 25 HIV clinics in Central and Western Kenya. We conducted qualitative interviews with 40 purposively sampled clinic personnel. We interviewed personnel once during the first pandemic wave (May-Aug 2020) and again after some decline in COVID-19 rates (Nov-Jan 2021). We analysed data using inductive memo-writing and summarized data by themes along the PrEP delivery cascade, guided by the Framework for Reporting Adaptation and Modifications (FRAME). RESULTS We interviewed 27 clinical officers, five nurses, four health records and information officers, and four counsellors from Central (n = 20) and Western (n = 20) Kenya. About half (n = 19) were female, with a median age of 32 (IQR: 29-34) and 2.3 years of experience delivering PrEP (IQR: 2-3). All participants reported clinic changes in PrEP demand creation and service delivery during the pandemic. Modifications occurred during PrEP implementation and sustainment phases, were partly reactive to the pandemic and also facilitated by interim Ministry of Health guidance on PrEP delivery during COVID, and were made by PrEP delivery teams, clients and clinic managers. Commonly reported modifications included dispensing multiple-month PrEP refills, intensifying phone-based client engagement and collaborating with other HIV clinics to ensure that clients with prolonged stays in other regions could continue to access PrEP. Some clinics also adopted practices to streamline visits, such as within clinical-room PrEP dispensing, pre-packing PrEP and task-shifting. Most providers liked these changes and hoped they would continue after the pandemic subsides. CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 served as a catalyst for PrEP delivery innovations in Kenya. HIV clinics successfully and rapidly adapted their PrEP demand creation, refill and retention strategies to promote PrEP uptake and effective use. These modified implementation strategies highlight opportunities to streamline the delivery of PrEP, as well as other HIV and chronic care services, and strengthen engagement with populations post-pandemic.

Abstract
We sought to understand influences on PrEP uptake among Kenyan adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) whose decision on PrEP use was misaligned with their risk for HIV acquisition. In-depth interviews were conducted with 47 Kenyan HIV-negative AGYW aged 15-24 years who were offered PrEP during routine maternal and child health and family planning services. AGYW were sampled from two groups (1) declined PrEP and had ≥1 sexual partner(s) of unknown HIV status and (2) initiated PrEP and reported having one HIV-negative partner. AGYW with HIV-negative partners initiated PrEP due to known or suspected infidelity. AGYW with partners of unknown HIV status recognized PrEP as a helpful HIV prevention tool, yet worried about partner reactions and prioritized avoiding uncomfortable or unsafe situations over PrEP. Among pregnant AGYW, the responsibility of motherhood and providing a future for one's family, through staying healthy and remaining HIV-free, was a strong PrEP use motivator. Among AGYW who desired future motherhood, fears that PrEP could negatively impact fertility or reduce contraceptive effectiveness led to declining PrEP. Peers positively influenced PrEP decision-making, especially personally knowing a PrEP user. Strategies are needed to enhance messaging and delivery approaches that are tailored to AGYW, including peer-led strategies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) delivery to adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) is scaling up in sub-Saharan African countries. Understanding how AGYW learn about PrEP is needed to inform programs seeking to reach AGYW with HIV prevention tools. METHODS AGYW (ages 15-24), attending routine family planning and maternal child health clinics in Kisumu, Kenya, participated in in-depth interviews. AGYW were recruited if they either declined or accepted PrEP when offered that day in clinic or were currently or previously on PrEP. Thematic analysis was used to identify key themes related to the type and quality of knowledge sources from which AGYW first became aware of PrEP. RESULTS Overall, 140 in-depth interviews were conducted with AGYW. The median age was 21.5 years (interquartile range: 20.0-23.0), 65% of participants were married, and almost half (45.7%) were currently taking PrEP. Participants reported learning about PrEP from 3 primary sources: (1) clinic-based education; (2) friends, family, or other PrEP users; and (3) media and community outreach. Participants who reported learning about PrEP from friends or family were highly enthusiastic about PrEP. The accuracy and completeness of knowledge varied with most inaccuracies around the cost, dosing, and who benefits from PrEP. Community outreach campaigns provided fewer details, resulting in more inaccurate information and distrust of information received. CONCLUSION PrEP information reaches AGYW through many sources with variable accuracy and completeness. Training providers and peer leaders to disseminate thorough and accurate PrEP information when counseling AGYW could positively impact acceptance and proper use.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION In public clinics in Kenya, separate, sequential delivery of the component services of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) (e.g. HIV testing, counselling, and dispensing) creates long wait times that hinder clients' ability and desire to access and continue PrEP. We conducted a mixed methods study in four public clinics in western Kenya to identify strategies for operationalizing a one-stop shop (OSS) model and evaluate whether this model could improve client wait time and care acceptability among clients and providers without negatively impacting uptake or continuation. METHODS From January 2020 through November 2020, we collected and analysed 47 time-and-motion observations using Mann-Whitney U tests, 29 provider and client interviews, 68 technical assistance reports, and clinic flow maps from intervention clinics. We used controlled interrupted time series (cITS) to compare trends in PrEP initiation and on-time returns from a 12-month pre-intervention period (January-December 2019) to an 8-month post-period (January-November 2020, excluding a 3-month COVID-19 wash-out period) at intervention and control clinics. RESULTS From the pre- to post-period, median client wait time at intervention clinics dropped significantly from 31 to 6 minutes (p = 0.02), while median provider contact time remained around 23 minutes (p = 0.4). Intervention clinics achieved efficiency gains by moving PrEP delivery to lower volume departments, moving steps closer together (e.g. relocating supplies; cross-training and task-shifting), and differentiating clients based on the subset of services needed. Clients and providers found the OSS model highly acceptable and additionally identified increased privacy, reduced stigma, and higher quality client-provider interactions as benefits of the model. From the pre- to post-period, average monthly initiations at intervention and control clinics increased by 6 and 2.3, respectively, and percent of expected follow-up visits occurring on time decreased by 18% and 26%, respectively; cITS analysis of PrEP initiations (n = 1227) and follow-up visits (n = 2696) revealed no significant difference between intervention and control clinics in terms of trends in PrEP initiation and on-time returns (all p>0.05). CONCLUSIONS An OSS model significantly improved client wait time and care acceptability without negatively impacting initiations or continuations, thus highlighting opportunities to improve the efficiency of PrEP delivery efficiency and client-centredness.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Discontinuation of daily oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is frequent among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in African settings. We explored factors influencing early PrEP discontinuation and persistence among Kenyan AGYW who accepted PrEP within a programmatic setting. METHODS We conducted in-depth interviews with AGYW (aged 15-24 years) who accepted PrEP from 4 maternal child health (MCH) and family planning (FP) clinics. AGYW were identified by nurses at routine clinic visits and purposively sampled based on 4 categories: (1) accepted PrEP pills, but never initiated PrEP use (eg, never swallowed PrEP pills), (2) discontinued PrEP <1 month after initiation, (3) discontinued PrEP within 1-3 months, and (4) persisted with PrEP use >3 months. Informed by the Stages of Change Model, thematic analysis characterized key influences on PrEP discontinuation/persistence. RESULTS We conducted 93 in-depth interviews with AGYW who accepted pills. Median age was 22 years, 71% were married; 89% were from MCH, and 11% were from FP clinics. Early PrEP use was positively influenced by encouragement from close confidants and effective concealment of PrEP pill-taking when necessary to avoid stigma or negative reactions from partners. Pregnancy helped conceal PrEP use because pill-taking is normalized during pregnancy, but concealment became more difficult postpartum. AGYW found keeping up with daily PrEP pill-taking challenging, and many noted only episodic periods of the HIV risk. Frequently testing HIV-negative reassured AGYW that PrEP was working and motivated persistence. DISCUSSION As PrEP programs scale-up in MCH/FP, it is increasingly important to enhance protection-effective PrEP use through approaches tailored to AGYW, with special considerations during pregnancy and postpartum.
