A Secondary Prevention Empowerment Intervention for Young Women Living with HIV

This study developed a culturally appropriate secondary prevention intervention for young HIV+ women through focus groups. Focus groups were digitally recorded and transcribed. Focus groups informed the development of the intervention's framework and content areas. The intervention aimed to reduce the risk of young women infected with HIV transmitting the virus to their sexual partners, and to prevent young women infected with HIV from re-infection with a new viral strain or co-infection with another sexually transmitted disease.
