Welcome
Over 350 participants attended the International Workshop on HIV & Adolescence, which took place on 2-4 October 2019.

We would like to express our gratitude to the HIV & Adolescence 2019 sponsors, Viiv Healthcare, Johnson & Johnson, Mylan, Frontline AIDS, and Aidsfonds for their generous support that made this event possible.
The International Workshop on HIV & Adolescence brings together important stakeholders including young people, to explore cross-cutting issues such as service delivery approaches, scaling up interventions, youth leadership and engagement, biomedical interventions and clinical management, communications and behavior change, mental health and psychosocial support, and more. In addition, the structural and systematic barriers encountered in delivering these services and ways to mitigate these barriers shall be key focus during the workshop.
