Abstract: Home based care is central to HIV care and support throughout Africa. Most programs have not addressed the unique needs of adolescents living with HIV, who display lower retention in HIV care and treatment adherence. This study examined the experiences of adolescents living with HIV in Tanzania in order to identify ways to improve home based care to better meet their needs.
