Why post rape care?
Beautiful country! 32M – population 16% F reporting SV in preceding year (KDHS 2003)
9%: 5% HIV prevalence – women: men
additional impetus... health workers reports & SV clients in VCT
operational research study - 3 districts (Nairobi, Malindi, Thika)
situation analysis -– perceptions of rape/sexual violence in Kenya (18 FGDs
age & gender dissagregated; 2 CSWs)– situation & priorities for post rape care services (36 key
informant interviews with health providers – clinicians, counselors; policy makers, police)
intervention – develop & implement a standard of care
evaluation– uptake, delivery & acceptability of services

findings – on perceptions...
fuzzy boundaries ‘force, coercion & consent’
“lets say I have a boyfriend and am against the act, but you can be forced. He will come at night
when he knows I am there because he want to do …, and to make me to give him. He knows if he
rapes me, I will be disappointed and when others get to know, they will reject and laugh at me
saying I was raped – so I will give in” (adolescent female, 16yrs, Thika)
findings
health provider difficulties– initiate risk reduction for survivors– gender & age challenges in examination of survivors– health provider perceptions of SV
service delivery level– inconsistent services: EC, STI/ HIV prevention (PEP);
counseling – trauma; HIV testing; PEP adherence
6
7
findings
policy level– no regulatory framework & standards– no coordination , documentation
limited capacities – human, technical, financial high user costs – cards, fees
8
Intervention process – participatory action approaches
stakeholder consultations – DHMTs consensus on delivering the standard of care records/documentation – mutually defined
outcomes targeted health provider training & investigated
personal values towards SV – clinicians/nurses/laboratory personnel &
trauma counselors
Survivor
CASUALTYEmergency management
PEP/EC, physical examination,
documentation
Counseling (primarily at VCT)
Trauma/crisis, HIV testing,
PEP adherence; preparation for
Justice system
Laboratory
HIV testing, blood monitoring (Hb)
specimen analysis
HIV care clinics: PEP management & STIs,
Clinical monitoring, Data collection: demographics,
HIV PEP uptake, HIV outcomes
Refer to STI clinic
if not provided at CCC
on-going follow up 4/52
Delivering the standard of care
Evaluation – uptake, delivery & acceptability of the intervention
uptake - survivors taking up services delivery – data from routine records
– data collection from casualty, lab, HIV care clinic, pharmacy
– described coverage, quality of clinical evaluation, clinical management, counselling & PEP delivery
acceptability– knowledge, perceptions, ownership
10
Study limitations
data challenges– no baseline data– health facility data only– no research targeted data collection – counselling data scanty – no systems
SV against children, men not explicitly explored specificity of the intervention

findings - uptake of services
3 HFs (Thika; Malindi; Rachuonyo) – n=295/386 median age – 16.5 IQR (9,25) age range of cohort (16 months – 102 years) 88% female (Malindi – 24% males) 56% children (<18years) children more likely to know perpetrator/s (OR
6.2; p=0)
13
findings - delivery: quality of clinical management (n=292)
of the cohort eligible females - 88% got emergency
contraception 74% - lab services 73% - STI prophylaxis 56% - physical examination & documentation 50% counselling; 50% information
- 51% PEP completion- 16% loset in client flow pathway- those counseled more likely to complete PEP (OR 2.7; p=0.004)- 1 sero-conversion – 7yr old, female
Late presentation14%
Lost to referral11%
HIV+ at baseline5%
No to HIV test11%
Continued PEP59%
Delivery: Quality of PEP delivery (n=292)
findings - acceptability
“…am certainly now more confident filling in the P3 forms. Nothing is missed and court presentations
are a lot easier and concise. I think this kind of thing should be taught in medical school,
including the counselling and attitude change stuff… it’s very good for stigma reduction as
well…. Particularly as most of the patients are women” (medical officer)

achievements
informing policy– national guidelines– PRC as part of RH policy– training manuals for clinicians & counsellors– medico-legal linkages – PRC1 form
national indicators– KNASP II – M & E – PEP/PRC indicators– PRC – performance indicator in the SWAp– DRH business plan - PRC indicators
practice– scale-up to 16 PRC sites, >2,000 survivors seen
17
baseline for future PRC evaluation, but new programming challenges...
medico-legal linkages & psychosocial care – common indicators btwn health and CJS
PEP – baseline data on adherence, HIV outcomes– indicators for social support characteristics– documentation & follow up systems
costing studies – cost study done but,– cost effectiveness of intervention, – costing per-contact HIV/pregnancy/STI transmission,
chronic exposures
18
lessons & opportunities
documentation - critical to inform programming data - essential for policy & practice utilization of local health systems lessons from HIV programming for GBV
– results framework with defined indicators– mutual agreement of outcomes
linking service delivery & policy to research
