Preferences for pre‐exposure prophylaxis delivery via online pharmacy among potential users in Kenya: a discrete choice experiment
Online pharmacy PrEP is highly acceptable and may expand PrEP coverage to those interested in PrEP but not accessing services. Most participants valued privacy and autonomy, preferring HIVST and remote provider interactions. However, when needing support for questions regarding PrEP, participants preferred phone/SMS contact with a provider. One-fifth of participants preferred online PrEP with in-person components, suggesting that providing multiple options can increase uptake.
