Why was this study done?
An estimated 2.1 million young people aged 15 to 24 years old are living with HIV in Southern and Eastern Africa. Compared to younger children or adults living with HIV, young people have worse viral suppression rates and are at greater risk of dying and being lost from care.Although this population has unique needs, preference-based models of care that offer a wide range of service options that are regularly adapted to the young persons’ preferences are scarce, and data about their effectiveness are limited.
