Brief Summary:
The study will deliver PrEP choice between oral PrEP and the PrEP ring for women in PEPFAR/USAID public health service delivery sites, building on the existing PrEP service delivery models at each site and in accordance with national guidelines for PrEP service delivery in Eswatini. The overall goal of the study is to characterize and assess the feasibility, acceptability, uptake, patterns of use, and clinical outcomes of an enhanced service delivery package providing fully informed choice of oral PrEP and the PrEP ring among women, especially adolescent girls and young women, in Eswatini.

The overall goal of the study is to characterize and assess the feasibility, acceptability, uptake, patterns of use, and clinical outcomes of an enhanced service delivery package providing fully informed choice of oral PrEP and the PrEP ring among women, especially adolescent girls and young women, in Eswatini.
The two main study components include the following:
1. Prospective, observational cohort of eligible individuals interested in initiating PrEP or continuing PrEP with screening for entry at time of HIV testing and followed throughout the study period (up to 18 months). Data collection will involve quantitative methods and for a subset of participants, data will also be collected using qualitative means, namely in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions.
2. Mixed methods process evaluation that will document implementation of the enhanced service delivery package, assess ongoing perceptions of service delivery (i.e., acceptability and feasibility, barriers and facilitators) among providers and end users, and document other important implementation considerations including the integration of PrEP and family planning.
