UNICEF: Prioritizing the Continuity of Services for Adolescents Living with HIV During the COVID-19 Pandemic
In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the continuity of essential life-saving HIV and other vital health services is a priority for adolescents living with HIV (ALHIV), to safeguard their immediate and long-term health and well-being. In response to the current pandemic, policy makers, programmes, implementers, researchers, networks of young people living with HIV and funders need to ensure that the needs of ALHIV are fully met through the continuity of essential services. Several critical actions and temporary modifications should be considered to maintain access to these essential services.
