Adolescent and Young Adult HIV Research Program

Overview

This program supports research to advance the understanding of how best to prevent the acquisition of HIV among adolescents and young adults. The program also supports research to improve the health outcomes of adolescents and young adults who are living with HIV. Research that accounts for the unique developmental considerations across these time periods and the multiple levels of influence on adolescents and young adults is strongly encouraged.

Areas of Emphasis

  • Support HIV prevention and care research focused on those who are placed at most risk.
  • Foster multi-level and combination biobehavioral HIV research efforts targeting adolescents and young adults.
  • Conduct research to better understand how to improve the uptake, adherence, and feasibility of HIV prevention and treatment strategies among adolescents and young adults.
  • Develop and implement interventions that harness the widespread use of mobile technologies in reaching and engaging adolescents and young adults.
  • Studies of adolescents and young adults that are living with HIV that emphasize improving health outcomes along the HIV care continuum as well as the successful transition to adult care.
