Health and social outcomes of HIV-vulnerable and HIV-positive pregnant and post-partum adolescents and infants enrolled in a home visiting team programme in Kenya.

Objectives: HIV-positive and HIV-vulnerable pregnant adolescent girls and adolescent mothers face significant barriers and vulnerabilities. Infants born to adolescent mothers are also more likely to die and be exposed to life-threatening conditions. This paper presents findings from an evaluation of a programme that used a home visitation model and offered a case-management, team-focused approach to increase family and community supportiveness to enhance health and social service uptake among pregnant adolescent girls and adolescent mothers in Kenya.
