In this study of PrEP integration with primary care and reproductive health services for African AGYW, demand for PrEP was high. Although PrEP use decreased in the first months, an important fraction used PrEP through 6 months.  Strategies are needed to simplify PrEP delivery, support adherence and offer long-acting PrEP options to improve persistence and HIV protection.
