Eligibility and Acceptability of Same-Day HIV Preexposure Prophylaxis Initiation During Emergency Care Encounters in Nairobi, Kenya: A Cross-Sectional Study.
Article in Journal of acquired immune deficiency syndromes (1999), 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundEmergency departments (EDs) provide care to higher-risk and underserved populations for HIV services. This study evaluated eligibility and acceptability of same-day HIV preexposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation among persons seeking emergency care in Nairobi, Kenya.
designCross-sectional study.
methodsED patients were continuously screened at Kenyatta National Hospital (5 July to 18 August 2024). Nonpregnant and nonincarcerated persons aged ≥18 years were enrolled. Data were collected on socio-demographics, health characteristics, and PrEP aspects. PrEP eligibility was based on national guidelines. Acceptability was defined as participants reporting willingness to initiate same-day PrEP, if indicated. Multivariable regression assessed factors associated with acceptability of ED-PrEP initiation, reported as adjusted odds ratios (aOR) with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
resultsAmong the 325 enrolled participants (median age: 31 years), 56.3% were male and 15.3% were from key populations. PrEP-eligibility was 16.0%, and 74.6% of participants reported willingness to initiate same-day PrEP. For persons from key populations, PrEP eligibility was 28.6%, and acceptability was 73.5%. Correlates of same-day PrEP initiation included having a primary/regular sex partner (aOR = 2.26, 95% CI: 1.20 to 4.24, P = 0.01) and multiple sex partners in the past 3 months (aOR = 2.36, 95% CI: 1.29 to 4.33, P = 0.01). Injection was the preferred PrEP formulation (62.5%), with 70.0% preferring a six-month dispensing interval.
conclusionHigh PrEP eligibility and acceptability suggest that emergency care settings in Kenya are strategic PrEP programming venues, with potential to expand access to underserved populations. Further research is warranted to inform strategies to implement PrEP in ED settings in Kenya and other similar settings.
