The primary objective of this study is to assess pre\u2010exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) initiation, use, persistence and HIV acquisition among African AGYW offered PrEP in order to inform PrEP scale\u2010up.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>POWER was a prospective implementation science evaluation of PrEP delivery for sexually active HIV\u2010negative AGYW ages 16\u201325 in family planning clinics in Kisumu, Kenya and youth and primary healthcare clinics in Cape Town and Johannesburg, South Africa. Follow\u2010up visits occurred at month 1 and quarterly for up to 36 months. PrEP users were defined based on the month 1 refill. PrEP persistence through month 6 was assessed using Kaplan\u2013Meier survival analysis among AGYW with a month 1 visit, defining non\u2010persistence as an \u226515 day gap in PrEP availability for daily dosing. PrEP execution was evaluated in a subset with PrEP supply from the prior visit sufficient for daily dosing by measuring blood tenofovir diphosphate (TFV\u2010DP) levels.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>From June 2017 to September 2020, 2550 AGYW were enrolled (1000 in Kisumu, 787 in Cape Town and 763 in Johannesburg). Median age was 21 years, 66% had a sexual partner of unknown HIV status, and 29% had chlamydia and 10% gonorrhoea. Overall, 2397 (94%) initiated PrEP and 749 (31%) had a refill at 1 month. Of AGYW who could reach 6 months of post\u2010PrEP initiation follow\u2010up, 128\/646 (20%) persisted with PrEP for 6 months and an additional 92\/646 (14%) had a gap and restarted PrEP. TFV\u2010DP levels indicated that 47% (91\/193) took an average of \u22654 doses\/week. Sixteen HIV seroconversions were observed (incidence 2.2 per 100 person\u2010years, 95% CI 1.2, 3.5); 13 (81%) seroconverters either did not have PrEP dispensed in the study interval prior to seroconversion or TFV\u2010DP levels indicated &lt;4 doses\/week in the prior 6 weeks.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this study of PrEP integration with primary care and reproductive health services for African AGYW, demand for PrEP was high. Although PrEP use decreased in the first months, an important fraction used PrEP through 6 months.\u00a0 Strategies are needed to simplify PrEP delivery, support adherence and offer long\u2010acting PrEP options to improve persistence and HIV
