Lessons from Link Up! Link Up Experiences of Reaching Adolescents Living with HIV

Link Up, implemented by a global consortium led by the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, aimed to meet the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) needs of 10–24 year olds most impacted by HIV, including those living with HIV, by ensuring integration of SRHR and HIV services, information and advocacy.

This brief highlights the new understanding, gained through Link Up, around engaging and providing services for adolescents living with HIV. It outlines opportunities to learn from Link Up experiences, to build upon programme successes, to understand the challenges encountered during programme implementation and to inform future HIV programming for adolescents. The brief builds upon lessons learned, summarized in the Link Up brief titled ‘What’s so different about adolescents? Unique challenges and opportunities in engaging 10–19 year old in integrated HIV and SRHR services.’
