Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: This review of recent studies evaluating interventions to improve HIV care outcomes among adolescents with HIV (AHIV) was conducted to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent evidence, highlight promising approaches, and suggest directions for future research. RECENT FINDINGS: Our scoping review revealed 65 studies evaluating a variety of interventions and using a range of study designs at various stages of research. Effective approaches included community-based, integrated service delivery models with case management, trained community adolescent treatment supporters, and consideration of social determinants of health. Recent evidence also supports the feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of other innovative approaches, including mental health interventions as well as technology-delivered approaches; however, more research is needed to build the evidence base for these interventions. Our review's findings suggest that interventions providing comprehensive, individualized support are essential to improving HIV care outcomes among adolescents. More research is needed to build the evidence base for such interventions and ensure effective, equitable implementation to support the global target of ending the AIDS epidemic by 2030.
