Shortages of workers and supplies also impede delivery of services at many facilities, forcing AGYW to travel longer distances at greater costs. The gap in implementation may be partially explained by the unique barriers AGYW face when accessing sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services in healthcare facilities, such as stigma and provider bias. In many countries where pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) is available, AGYW are prioritized for PrEP outreach, yet early evidence demonstrates suboptimal PrEP uptake and coverage among AGYW.
