Brief Summary
The goal of this randomized trial study is to learn if drug-level feedback counseling works to improve oral PrEP adherence in adolescent girls and young women. Researchers will compare urine TFV assay positivity between arms. All participants will attend visits on the same schedule, and receive the same SOC counseling for PrEP adherence. Participants in the intervention arm will additionally take POC urine TFV tests and receive drug-level feedback as part of that counseling.

Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Urine TFV assay
To determine the short-term adherence to PrEP between arms, we will look at the difference in the population proportions via a positive result on urine TFV assay over follow-up.
Month 6 post-PrEP initiation
Study Arms (2)
SOC
NO INTERVENTIONStandard of Care
Intervention + SOC
ACTIVE COMPARATORStandard of care plus feedback on adherence
Interventions
Women randomized to the intervention arm will take POC urine TFV tests and will receive drug level feedback (DLFB) alongside SOC counseling at each visit until exit.
