Clinical Trial Summary
Context: HIV-positive young people aged 15 to 24 are a heterogeneous population in terms of
gender, age, mode of transmission, sexual orientation and risk-taking. This most vulnerable
age group is at greater risk of disruption of medical care and poor compliance, and has
greater needs for psychosocial support and differentiated health services. It remains highly
invisible in West African countries, both in the definition of care policies and in the
allocation of resources and community representation.
Objectives: The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the improvement of
retention in care, health and well-being of adolescents and young adults living with HIV
(AYAHIV) and to support their integration into the community space.
SO1: Support the operationalisation of the transition of HIV-infected adolescents from
paediatrics to adult medical services in a stakeholder inclusive, participatory and
responsive approach SO2: Contribute to the empowerment and autonomy of adolescents and young
adults living with HIV in the project environment SO3: Contribute to the generation and
dissemination of evidence-based information and recommendations on the situation and needs of
adolescents and young adults, including key populations, living with HIV
Target: Approximately 67 caregivers∙e∙s ≥ 25 years old, of which 64%F, 30 peer-referent
associations of 20-24 years old (ratio F/H= 1:1), 700 AYAHIV ≥ 15 years old, of which 47%F,
in paediatrics and 500-600 AYAHIV aged 15-24 years old in adult medicine, of which 41%F, and
including AYAHIV associations Summary of activities: Based on the capitalisation and pooling
of experiences of partner teams, the project proposes to support the implementation of
transition in a pragmatic approach, adapted to the needs of adolescents and inclusive of
carers, adolescents and community peers. More globally, it contributes to improving the
health, empowerment and autonomy of HIV-positive youth, including key populations, in
particular through support to training, structuring and community representation of youth
associations, documentation of the conditions of entry into care and their specific needs,
including digital health, production and availability of evidence and recommendations in this
West African context and advocacy building.
A multidisciplinary and participatory research-action project, carried out by the IRD in
Senegal and financed by Sidaction, accompanies the three specific objectives of the project.

A multidisciplinary and participatory research-action project, carried out by the IRD in
Senegal and financed by Sidaction, accompanies the three specific objectives of the project.
Expected impact :
- Seamless operationalisation of the supported and coordinated transition in care process
and scaling up to the level of the 12 countries of the EVA network.
- Young associative actors are able to advocate to guide decision-makers, based on the
evidence they have helped to produce (participatory approach)
- The ultimate change, expected at the end of the project, is that institutional
stakeholders will integrate these recommendations into the national programme for the
care of PLHIV, both operationally and financially.
