Integrated Care Delivery of HIV Prevention and Treatment in AGYW in Zambia

The SHIELD intervention includes a three-session, six-module program for AGYW that increases knowledge, skills, and self-efficacy to engage along the HIV prevention and care continuum, and a two-session, four-module program for caregivers to increase social support. In addition, the SHIELD intervention includes youth clubs to foster peer support.

IWC clinics will be created within health facilities where AGYWs can receive sexual and reproductive health services, including HIV testing and treatment, family planning, sexually transmitted disease screening and treatment, and HPV vaccination in a youth-friendly environment.
