The goal of the Activity "HIV Prevention Among Adolescent Girls and Young Women and Other Vulnerable Youth Populations - DREAMS South" is to:
substantially lower HIV incidence among adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) ages 10-24 in the below geographic areas of highest HIV incidence
and prevalence.
It is envisioned that this goal will be achieved by improving AGYW access to a comprehensive package of evidence-based/informed, age-appropriate prevention interventions that address biological, behavioral, and socio-economic determinants of HIV risk, and by prioritizing the supply of contraception, STI treatment, and Post Exposure Prophylaxis (PEP).
This Activity is anticipated to encompass four provinces:
KwaZulu Natal (King Cetshwayo and Ugu), Free State (Lejweleputswa and Thabo Mofutsanyane), Eastern Cape (Alfred Nzo and Buffalo City), and Western Cape (City of Cape Town)
