Youth-Led strategy aims to keep teens with HIV in care
NCT ID NCT06924073
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests a youth-led approach to help young people living with HIV in Kenya successfully move from pediatric to adult clinics. About 1,920 youth and their healthcare providers will take part across 32 clinics. The goal is to see if this strategy improves how many youth stay in care and achieve viral suppression after transitioning.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- ATP-Youth Enhanced Strategy (ATP-YES) - a youth-led implementation package including data audits, feedback, and learning collaboratives
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could provide a proven way to help young people with HIV stay in care and achieve viral suppression as they move to adult clinics.
- What could go wrong
- This is an implementation study, not a test of a new drug. Results may vary across clinics, and improvements in care processes may not directly translate to better health outcomes for all youth.
