OBJECTIVE
To examine sexual and reproductive health (SRH) service access among South African young people during the COVID-19 pandemic.
STUDY DESIGN
We utilized cross-sectional data collected from February to October 2021 in Cape Town among young people 13-24 years of age living with and without HIV.
RESULTS
Two hundred and fifteen young people living with HIV (YPLWH) and 320 young people living without HIV were included. Young people reported an unmet need for SRH services during COVID-19, and 28% of YPLWH reported missing an HIV care appointment during the COVID-19 lockdowns.
CONCLUSIONS
Expanding access to SRH services for young people during disruptive events is critical to reduce disparities in HIV and other SRH outcomes.
目的
研究 COVID-19 大流行期间南非年轻人的性健康和生殖健康（SRH）服务获取情况。
研究设计
我们利用 2021 年 2 月至 10 月在开普敦收集的横断面数据，对 13-24 岁患有和不患有 HIV 的年轻人进行研究。
结果
共纳入 215 名 HIV 阳性年轻人（YPLWH）和 320 名 HIV 阴性年轻人。年轻人报告在 COVID-19 期间存在性健康服务需求未得到满足的情况，并且有 28%的 YPLWH 报告在 COVID-19 封锁期间错过了 HIV 护理预约。
结论
在破坏性事件期间扩大年轻人获得性健康服务的机会对于减少 HIV 和其他性健康结果的差距至关重要。
