Table 2 Considerations for further "V" material adaptations based on early implementation
Materials | What | How to adapt | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
Makeup bag | Color | Consider multiple assorted bag colors | This is essential to minimize risk of stigma or unwanted disclosure |
Educational pamphlet | Size | Reduce the size from A4 to A6 or Business Card Size | The A4 pamphlet attracts unwanted attention and needs to be resized to fit in a bag or pocket without having to fold it |
FAQ booklet | Contact details | Include contact details for facilities offering PrEP and other support | The FAQ must include contact information (e.g., WhatsApp numbers) for support and PrEP service availability |
Pill box | Consider excluding pill box from full implementation | The text on the pill box facilitated unwanted disclosure and defeats the purpose of discreet intent | |
Reminder sticker | Timing | Consider distribution frequency | With multi-month refills, some AGYW indicate wanting multiple stickers for each pill bottle. Note that although V did not promote use of stickers to cover the pill bottle, many AGYW used it for that purpose |
HCW Manual | Content | Incorporate new PrEP guidelines as needed | Continue updating with new information to ensure content remains current (as needed) |
HCW Flipchart | No adaptations | No adaptations | Difficult to use the flip chart in the context of social distancing measures |
