Family groups aim to help teens beat HIV stigma and stay healthy

NCT ID NCT05358795

Summary

This study tested a program called 'Family Connections' for teenagers and young adults (ages 15-21) living with HIV in Zambia and their caregivers. The goal was to see if group sessions providing family support and reducing self-stigma could help young people stick to their medication and achieve an undetectable level of the virus. The research involved nearly 1,400 participants across 20 clinics to fill a critical gap in support services for youth with HIV in Africa.
