Abstract
Access to HIV-Testing Services Among Adolescents and Young People: Evidence to Strengthen multi-Sectoral Response
THEME 1: Promoting stakeholder partnerships that protect, support and enhance resilience during adverse events and trauma
SUB 1.2 The protection of physical and psychological health and wellbeing of children, people with disabilities, and older people through fostering safe, sustainable, and inclusive living spaces
Poster Presentation
INTRODUCTION: Despite notable progress in HIV prevention and treatment, adolescents and young people (AYP) encounter specific obstacles when accessing these vital services.
OBJECTIVE: This study aims to provide evidence-based insights to strengthen the multi-sectoral response to HIV testing services (HTS) among AYP in tertiary institutions in Nigeria.
METHODS: An exploratory qualitative study was conducted in four geopolitical zones in Nigeria, using in-depth interviews, comprising 10 participants (1-2 per campus) purposively selected from six campuses.
RESULTS: Nigerian campuses offer inadequate HTS, and barriers such as limited awareness, insufficient access to HIV prevention commodities, and suboptimal services from campus clinics deter AYPs from accessing HTS. Furthermore, there is a lack of collaboration between tertiary institutions and other sectors in addressing this health challenge.
DISCUSSION: Strengthening multi-sectoral collaboration between tertiary institutions and relevant sectors can enhance the impact of HTS among AYP. This requires a harmonized framework that prioritizes AYP on Nigerian campuses.
