This proposal explores effective methods to improve the delivery of pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) to adolescent girls involved in transactional sex in Uganda. The paper examines strategies to overcome barriers and enhance uptake and adherence to PrEP in this vulnerable population.

Learning Objectives:

Upon completion, participants will be able to identify the unique challenges and barriers faced by adolescent girls engaged in transactional sex in Uganda in accessing and adhering to Pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention.
Upon completion, participants will be able to define effective implementation strategies tailored to the specific needs of this population to enhance PrEP delivery, uptake, and adherence
Upon completion, participants will be able to gain insights into successful approaches and best practices that can be applied in similar settings to improve PrEP access and utilization among vulnerable adolescent populations.
