Summary
This study tested a program called SYV (The Voice of Youth) to see if supporting mental health helps young people with HIV take their medication regularly. 690 youth aged 10-24 in Tanzania took part. The goal was to improve viral suppression by addressing mental health challenges that often lead to missed doses.
