Detailed Description

Aim 1: To develop and determine the impact of a Community of Practice (CoP) on stakeholder and healthcare worker engagement and knowledge of integrated pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) delivery.

Aim 2: To determine the impact of a 3-component scale-up package on implementation outcomes and PrEP patient outcomes among pregnant and postpartum populations.

Aim 2a: To determine the impact of the scale-up package on PrEP implementation outcomes, including reach, service penetration, adoption (primary outcomes), and PrEP fidelity and maintenance (secondary outcomes).

Aim 2b: To determine the impact of the scale-up package on PrEP patient outcomes, including PrEP initiation and continuation.

Aim 3: To identify difference-making bundles of facility- and regional-level attributes and implementation processes that influence reach, fidelity implementation, and maintenance.
