The Quality of HIV Testing Services for Adolescents in Cape Town, South Africa: Do Adolescent-Friendly Services Make a Difference?

Journal of Adolescent Health, Volume 44, No. 2, Year 2009

We used adolescent simulated clients to evaluate whether HIV testing services in clinics participating in an adolescent-friendly initiative in Cape Town were superior to regular clinic services. We found improved accessibility to HIV testing, but no impact on adolescent's experience of negative attitudes from health workers and confidentiality breaches. © 2009 Society for Adolescent Medicine.
