Summary
This study looked at whether offering special wellness visits at clinics, linked with primary schools, encourages teens to get tested for HIV and use contraception. About 1,500 students in their final year of primary school took part, and researchers followed them for two years. The goal was to see if these friendly, teen-focused visits make a difference in getting important health services.
