Ending HIV and AIDS in Adolescents: Programmatic and Implementation Science Priorities

This supplement to the Journal of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndromes (JADS), "a collection of reviews on adolescents, presents the complexity of the adolescent HIV epidemic and examines current evidence and experience from programmes to highlight how to improve HIV-specific outcomes. Findings in the papers were presented in a global technical consultation on adolescents and HIV convened by UNICEF and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine in London in July 2013."

It has been developed under the leadership of the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) and the United States National Institutes of Health (NIH) in collaboration with multiple technical leaders in the area of adolescent programming.
