| dc.description.abstract | Adolescents represent one of the most
underserved population groups among people living with
HIV. With successes in the elimination of mother to child
transmission initiatives and advances in paediatric HIV
treatment programmes, a large population of HIV-infected
children are surviving into adolescence. Adolescence
presents unique challenges that increase the risk of
non-suppressed viral loads in adolescents living with HIV
(ALHIV). There is a need to develop, implement and test
interventions to improve viral suppression among ALHIV.
Systematic reviews of recent studies present scarce
and inconclusive evidence of effectiveness of current
interventions, especially for adolescents. This protocol
provides a description of a planned review of interventions
to improve treatment outcomes among unsuppressed
ALHIV. | en_US |
