HIV Treatment and Care of Adolescents: Perspectives of Adolescents on Community-Based Models in Northern Uganda.

Our findings show that CDDP and CCLADs are the two CBMs used by adolescents in Lira District to access treatment and care. Adolescents benefited from these models through reduced transport costs, the convenience of accessing HIV care and treatment, and social support. The challenges associated with these models are lack of confidentiality and privacy, perceived stigma, and a lack of face-to-face interaction. The Ministry of Health should work with other implementing partners to strengthen the implementation of these models to improve HIV/AIDS service delivery for adolescents.
