What did the researchers do and find?
Through spaces in the community (called hubs), peer support workers, a nurse and supervisor, delivered a range of SRH services, including HIV testing, comprehensive sexuality education, and contraceptives, daily to AYP aged 15 to 24.Service delivery through hubs was complemented by incentives, namely the collection of points for services accessed and the ability to use these points to “buy” rewards, such as soap, toothbrush, and toothpaste.After approximately 24 months, we compared knowledge of HIV status (defined as either self-reporting knowing ones HIV–positive status or having HIV tested in the previous 12 months) between random selections of AYP aged 15 to 24 (We found that knowledge of status was considerably higher in the intervention areas (73.3%) as compared to the non-intervention areas (48.4%), but that there was no difference in uptake of other SRH services, such as linkage to PrEP for the prevention of HIV.
