A descriptive profile of AWAC youth: service needs, service utilization, and barriers confronted
The projects identified 107 youths who were enrolled in treatment programs. We present a descriptive profile of this group. Although it cannot be considered representative of the HIV-infected adolescent population as a whole, this group of treatment enrollees can serve to illustrate some of the characteristics that can be expected of adolescents presenting for HIV treatment.
Discussion and lessons learned
The AWAC treatment programs developed a number of treatment elements that proved to be important to the primary care of HIV infected youth.
