Inequality in outcomes for adolescents living with perinatally acquired HIV in sub-Saharan Africa
Overview
The Collaborative Initiative for Paediatric HIV Education and Research (CIPHER) Global Cohort Collaboration
As part of CIPHER’s global project describing adolescents living with perinatally acquired HIV (APH), this study aimed to assess whether inequality in outcomes exists by country income group (CIG) for APH within sub-Saharan Africa. Results highlight probable inequality in mortality according to CIG in SSA even when ART was received. These findings highlight that without attention towards SDG 10 (to reduce inequality within and among countries), progress towards ensuring healthy lives and promoting wellbeing for all at all ages (SDG 3) will be hampered for APH in low and middle income countries.
