- Abstract
As oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) becomes the standard of prevention globally, its potential effect on HIV incidence in clinical trials of new prevention interventions is unknown, particularly for trials among women.

We assessed the effect of on-site access to PrEP on HIV incidence in this natural experiment.
