Abstract

HIV is now a chronic condition that can be managed. Adolescents and emerging adults represent a large proportion of new diagnoses, but struggle with many aspects of HIV-related self-management. Self-management of HIV is critical to maintaining health and involves retention in HIV care, medication adherence to achieve viral suppression, managing substance use, and sexual and general health-related behaviors. This article describes theoretic frameworks for HIV self-management as adapted for youth and reviews self-management interventions developed to improve health outcomes in youth living with HIV identified from a recent systematic review.

Keywords: Adolescents and emerging adults; Behavioral interventions; Chronic disease management; HIV treatment cascade; Self-management.
