Assessing the efficiency of HIV prevention interventions in Kenya__ the ORPHEA project

Abstract

Despite limited resources for HIV prevention interventions, few empirical studies investigate the efficiency of HIV prevention interventions. Reliable data on costs and efficiency is critical to best inform the choice of service delivery model, budget allocation and financial decisions. Optimizing the Response of Prevention: HIV Efficiency in Africa (ORPHEA Project) assessed determinants of efficiency for three interventions in Kenya in 2012-2013: HIV testing and counseling (HTC), prevention of mother-to-child transmission of HIV (PMTCT), and voluntary medical male circumcision (VMMC).
