    BACKGROUND: Adolescents and young adults (AYA) aged 15-24 years account for nearly half of all new HIV infections globally, with over 80% residing in sub-Saharan Africa, where AIDS is a leading cause of death. In Chad, HIV/AIDS significantly impacts AYA, despite a reduction in national prevalence from 1.6% in 2010 to 1.0% in 2022. AYA still contribute to 26.3% of new infections, with young women facing four times the risk compared with young men.…

Human resource shortages are severe, wit…

This study explored care pathways for young key populations in Chad to identify their specific challenges and propose targeted strategies to strengthen the HIV care continu…

Four focus group discussions (n = 48) were conducted with high school students in N'Djamena, stratified into beneficiaries and non-beneficiaries of a peer education programme. Using a phenomenological approach and the Colaizzi method in ATLAS.ti, we examin…
