Adaptation and psychometric evaluation of a scale to measure oral pre-exposure prophylaxis-related stigma among key and vulnerable populations in Kenya.

The adapted and validated PrEP-Related Stigma Scale can enable programmes to quantify how PrEP-related stigma and its dimensions may differentially impact outcomes on the HIV PrEP care continuum, evaluate stigma interventions and tailor programmes accordingly. Opportunities exist to validate the scale in other populations and explore further dimensions of PrEP-related stigma.
