Summary

This study looks at how to keep a youth-friendly HIV self-testing program called 4YBY running in Nigeria. It will involve over 1,200 young people aged 14-24 who are at risk for HIV. Researchers will compare standard program delivery with an enhanced version that includes extra support for sustainability, measuring how well the services are maintained over two years.
