Summary
This study tests a program called iSYV that combines peer-led group sessions with a gamified text-message game to support mental health and HIV care for 5,000 youth aged 15-24 in Tanzania. The goal is to see if it helps them keep their virus under control and stay in care. The program is designed to fit into routine HIV clinic visits.
