Key populations are disproportionately affected by HIV, and incidence is steady or increasing in a number of lower and middle income countries (LMICs). While oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) offers the potential to significantly decrease new infections, uptake in LMICs has been limited to small scale research and demonstration projects. As PrEP services continue to rollout and demand increases, it is vital to draw lessons from the successes and challenges of current key population PrEP models – community-based, public and private sector administered, including PrEP uptake, adherence and retention, role of HIV testing (eg conventional, lay-provider and self-testing), STI screening and treatment, PrEP financing, and tailoring services to best reach different key populations. The session will feature early lessons from four key population PrEP programs, and a dynamic panel of PrEP users and implementers who will provide perspectives on what is needed to scale and sustain PrEP in the real word!
