Kenyans eligible for the injectable HIV Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) will receive at least four jabs in a year.

The long-acting injection, Lenacapavir, is administered twice a year, once every six months, but during the first visit, a client receives two injections to complete the initial dose.
