Summary

This study looks at whether giving long-acting injectable HIV medication and birth control (like implants or shots) together is safe and works well for adolescent girls and young women living with HIV in Kenya. About 700 participants aged 15-24 will either get the long-acting HIV shots or continue standard daily pills. Researchers will check hormone levels and HIV viral suppression to see if combining these treatments causes any issues.
