PrEP eligibility, awareness and use among 399 participants vulnerable to HIV acquisition. PrEP, pre‐exposure prophylaxis. *Three participants eligible for PrEP did not respond to the question about hearing of PrEP, so the denominator is 396. One participant who had heard of PrEP did not respond to the question about ever taking PrEP, so the denominator is 275. Inclusive of participants who reported ever stopping PrEP and participants who reported ever taking PrEP but were not currently taking it. Therefore, the bracket designating having ever stopped PrEP extends beyond the bar for currently taking PrEP. This figure shows the PrEP engagement cascade, starting at the left with the total number eligible for PrEP, the proportion who had heard of PrEP, the proportion who had ever taken PrEP and the proportion who were currently taking PrEP. Between the bar graphs, we show three gaps in PrEP implementation: never hearing of PrEP, never taking PrEP and ever stopping PrEP. PrEP awareness and use among key populations: Among the 316 people who engaged in sex work or transactional sex, 210 (66.5%) had heard of PrEP, 55 (17.4%) had ever taken PrEP and 21 (6.6%) were currently taking PrEP. Among the 43 MSM, 31 (72.1%) had heard of PrEP, 16 (37.2%) had ever taken PrEP and 5 (11.6%) were currently taking PrEP. Among the six transgender people, five (83.3%) heard of PrEP, two (33.3%) had ever taken PrEP and one (16.7%) was currently taking PrEP. Among the 15 people with injection drug use, 12 (80.0%) had heard of PrEP, 3 (20.0%) had ever taken PrEP and 1 (6.7%) was currently taking PrEP.
