We conducted a population-level short message service (SMS)-based survey among individuals aged 18-34 years in six HIV high-burden counties in Western Kenya to assess pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) awareness, acceptability of non-facility PrEP delivery, and willingness to pay for PrEP. In January 2019, anonymous data were collected using mSurvey Inc., Nairobi, Kenya, which sends SMS messages via mobile provider networks to a 'general audience' pool of subscribers >= 18 years. Subscribers' demographic information was matched to Kenyan census data by age, gender, and county. Of the 3825 individuals who received the survey, 2617 (68%) opened the survey and 2498/2617 (95%) completed all questions. Overall, 84% had ever heard of PrEP, of whom 59% demonstrated understanding of PrEP; understanding was greater among men than women (64% versus 55%, p < 0.001). Among participants who understood PrEP (n = 1249), 38% reported pharmacies (informal or formal) as the preferred venue to obtain PrEP. Over half (61%) were willing to pay for PrEP and 78% reported that the maximum amount they were willing to pay for a one-month supply was <5 USD. High awareness of PrEP in high HIV prevalence settings in Kenya suggests effective public health messaging. Willingness to pay and preference for pharmacy access suggest that non-facility PrEP delivery may be useful.
