Healthcare accelerators for adolescent girls and young women living with HIV in South Africa
Adolescent girls and young women living with HIV are at risk of poor HIV outcomes, unintended pregnancy and secondary HIV transmission.
Little is known about which healthcare factors can improve their HIV outcomes, especially among high-risk sub-groups.
Standards to provide adolescent-friendly services have been developed by the World Health Organization, but their full implementation remains elusive, especially in resource-limited settings, or during fiscal restrictions such as during COVID-19.
