Abstract
HIV testing/counseling is a critical point during which non-clinical staff could intervene, discuss and/or refer clients for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP). This analysis investigated the contextual factors affecting PrEP implementation within HIV testing sites. Two generalized linear mixed models were conducted to estimate PrEP implementation as a function of constructs from the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). Qualitative interviews were analyzed thematically. Data integration occurred via joint analysis and triangulation. Constructs from the CFIR domain Characteristics of Individuals did not predict PrEP implementation when controlling for demographic characteristics; qualitative data signaled divergent findings in PrEP knowledge. Within the CFIR domains Inner and Outer Settings, relevant priority and available resources predicted PrEP implementation; qualitative data confirmed the importance of available resources and provided insight into the impact of cosmopolitanism and leadership. Addressing the contextual factors that affect PrEP implementation may help HIV testing staff to better implement PrEP programs.This publication has 31 references indexed in Scilit:
