HIV Prevention and Care Interventions for Youth in Uganda
Using Implementation Science to Understand and Design Stakeholder Informed Innovative Interventions to Improve Youth HIV Prevention and Care Continuums in Rural and Urban Uganda.
About This Trial
Several studies show that Adolescents and Young Adults (AYA) have poor outcomes along the entire Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) prevention and care cascades compared to adults. The investigators propose to evaluate novel evidence-based HIV prevention and care interventions (including Cabotegravir LongActing (CABLA) to determine implementation outcomes among AYA who are at particularly high risk for HIV acquisition and poor viral suppression in five geographically distinct research performance sites in Uganda. The results will provide important evidence to inform Uganda and other regional countries' policy on integrated HIV prevention, care and treatment for AYA at high risk for HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) in order to reach the UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets and HIV epidemic control.
