| Abstract |
HIV pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), despite its efficacy, has been slow in uptake throughout the world. This article discusses the operational and service delivery complexity, based on early real-world experience, with some recommendations on how this promising intervention could be made more available. Currently, access to PrEP is made complex by restricting delivery to dedicated health facilities, as well as requirements around HIV testing and toxicity monitoring. Expanding to verticalized services that focus on well-defined populations where HIV testing and treatment programmes already exist, has proven relatively simple. Providing PrEP outside of this environment has yet to be demonstrated at any scale, and will likely require innovative thinking addressing the regulatory and clinical environment, so as to ensure easier access to this promising HIV prevention tool. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 11. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 09 January 2020.
All research outputs
#2,924,081
of 23,094,276 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Public Health
#1,103
of 10,408 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#61,046
of 327,716 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Public Health
#22
of 80 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,094,276 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 87th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 10,408 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 10.0. This one has done well, scoring higher than 89% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 327,716 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 80 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
