Summary
The investigators propose to offer a package of evidence-based health services to women in three hair salons in the Umlazi township of Durban. Based on community feedback in previous survey and qualitative work, the package has been designed to include daily PrEP, family planning/contraceptives, and STI screening. Interested salon clients at intervention salons will elect which services to use. An additional three salons will serve as controls, offering no health services to clients. Surveys will be conducted in both salon groups. Attendance at follow-up visits for monitoring and medication refill will be encouraged using text message reminders, WhatsApp support groups, and lottery-based incentives for free salon services. Recruitment in intervention salons will conclude when 200 clients uptake PrEP. Two hundred participants will be recruited in control salons.
