Adolescents and young adults living with HIV (AYLHIV), ages 10-24, experience inferior outcomes across the HIV care continuum compared to adults. Inferior outcomes are caused by clinical systems that are not tailored to AYLHIV, structural barriers that prevent equitable care, and lack of engagement of AYLHIV by care teams. This position paper outlines three recommendations to bridge these gaps in care outcomes. The first advocates for offering differentiated and integrated health services. The second addresses structural changes that can improve outcomes for AYLHIV. The third calls for actively including input from AYLHIV about the care designed for them.
感染艾滋病毒的青少年和青年(AYLHIV),年龄在 10-24 岁之间,在整个艾滋病毒护理连续体中经历的结果劣于成年人。结果不佳是由不适合 AYLHIV 的临床系统、妨碍公平护理的结构性障碍以及护理团队未能让 AYLHIV 参与造成的。这份立场文件概述了三项建议,以弥合这些护理结果差距。第一项建议提供差异化和综合的卫生服务。第二项涉及可以改善 AYLHIV 结果的结构性变革。第三项呼吁积极纳入 AYLHIV 对专为他们设计的护理的意见。
