Adolescent HIV prevention and treatment require multifaceted approaches that are complex and don’t always work in real world settings. Implementation science (IS) can help address important implementation challenges. Indeed, effective use of evidence from IS can be enhanced through more robust collaborations between researchers, program implementers, and policymakers. This satellite session will give insight into how the Fogarty International Center’s Adolescent HIV Prevention and Treatment Implementation Science Alliance (AHISA) helps to enhance the effective use of evidence to help overcome implementation challenges related to HIV among adolescents in Africa by catalyzing collaboration and communication between researchers, program implementers and policymakers. Members of the Alliance will discuss the use of IS to inform prevention and treatment of HIV among adolescents, IS capacity needs in this area, and present case studies of their work as it relates to critical IS topic areas for this population.
