Interventions

The intervention consists of 5 bi-weekly sessions each lasting 60 to 90 minutes. It uses motivational interviewing, peer navigation, and behavioral economics to promote strategies for economic strengthening, reductions in male partner alcohol use, coping with relationship conflict and stress, changing norms that reduce intimate partner violence and support engagement in HIV care and antiretroviral therapy (ART) adherence among adolescent girls and young women living with HIV, and, thereby, enhances future sustained viral suppression and benefits of treatment as prevention.
