Person-centred HIV prevention services in sub-Saharan Africa: a scoping review
Evidence from the included studies indicates that person-centred strategies can enhance engagement with HIV prevention services in several settings across sub-Saharan Africa. However, the benefits were not uniform, and gaps in geographical representation, equity, and integration of broader psychosocial needs persist. Future programmes should address structural barriers, strengthen psychological safety and community trust, and ensure more inclusive design to improve the reach and consistency of person-centred HIV prevention.
