HIV prevention Standard of Care in Sexual and Reproductive Health trials and services is an evolving concept. Traditionally for patients and participants this has included counselling on HIV risk reduction, promotion of dual methods for prevention of pregnancy and STI, providing HIV testing and screening, treating STIs and offering male and/or female condoms. For partners voluntary counselling and testing, and referral for ART if HIV infected are frequently included. However, new effective prevention strategies such as PrEP are less frequently included? This session explores whether PrEP should be included as a standard of care in SRH trials and services. The policy environment, challenges, opportunities and experience in implementing PrEP in SRH trials and services will be discussed. The session is aimed at researchers, policy makers and advocates who are considering integrating PrEP in these settings.
