Integrating iSYV Within HIV Clinical Care for Youth Living With HIV in Tanzania

Not Yet RecruitingNA

Sponsor: Duke University

Conditions: HIV -1 Infection, Mental Health Issue

Interventions: iSYV (integrated Sauti ya Vijana; The Voice of Youth), mHealth, eSOC

Countries: Tanzania

Youth living with HIV (YLWH) experience mental health (MH) challenges that compromise their HIV care. Though the MH gap is well described, MH service delivery to YLWH is rare, especially in low resource settings. MH professionals are few and interventions tailored to the needs of this population are scarce. This project proposes a way to bridge the gap by streamlining the Sauti ya Vijana (SYV, The Voice of Youth) intervention redesigned to integrate into the differentiated HIV clinical care model in Tanzania. SYV is a peer-led, group-based treatment designed with and for YLWH to address their self-reported MH challenges and stressors living with HIV.
