Abstract
Provision of Adolescent-Friendly Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Services Integrated into HIV Treatment and Care
Highlights
The rapid scale up of antiretroviral treatment (ART) and HIV care across Africa over the past five years has provoked an important and lively debate about the merits and the impact of harnessing community support in advancing the continuum of prevention, treatment and care in relation to effective collaboration
Many CBOs have limited technical and organizational capacity, contributing to a power differential that can often lead to a conflicting versus complementary relationship
Uptake of Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health Services, HIV counselling and Testing, FP and referrals, with specific emphasis on dual protection and condom use were integrated in the counselling process at the Youth Friendly Corner site
Summary
Uptake of Adolescent Sexual Reproductive Health Services, HIV counseling and Testing, FP and referrals were integrated in the counselling process at the Youth Friendly Corner site with specific emphasis on dual protection and condom use. Peer Educators in the age group of 10 - 19 and 20- 24 girls and boys implemented sexual and reproductive health programs at Estates Clinic which did not have youth friendly services at that time. A room was secured to be used for provision of Adolescent - Youth Friendly sexual and reproductive health services at Estate Clinic. Peer educators disseminate HIV and AIDS information and refer young people for services to the ART and TB nurses who are permanently located within the -One Stop Shop. Peer educators conduct community awareness meetings in schools, bars and taverns
