HIV Prevention Ambassador Training Package for Adolescent Girls and Young Women This training package was developed by the OPTIONS Consortium and Collective Action. The OPTIONS Consortium partners who contributed to the development of the training package include FHI 360, AVAC, LVCT Health in Kenya, Pangaea Zimbabwe AIDS Trust in Zimbabwe, and Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute in South Africa. The Optimizing Prevention Technology Introduction On Schedule (OPTIONS) Consortium is a five-year cooperative agreement funded by the U.S. President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR) and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID). OPTIONS Consortium partners are conducting a range of activities to support the rollout and scale-up of oral pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV prevention in Kenya, South Africa, Zimbabwe, and globally. A critical component of OPTIONS’ work is ensuring adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) can access and effectively use oral PrEP for HIV prevention. Empowering AGYW with the knowledge, skills and agency to discuss HIV prevention with their peers, partners, families and communities is key to normalizing oral PrEP so that AGYW can successfully use it to protect themselves from HIV. We would love to hear how you’ve used this training package. Please email us at
