Résumé

Children and adolescents with HIV encounter challenges in initiation and adherence to antiretroviral therapy (ART). A community-based support intervention of structured home visits, aimed at improving initiation, adherence and treatment, was delivered by community health workers (CHWs) to children and adolescents newly diagnosed with HIV. To 1) describe intervention delivery, 2) explore CHW, caregiver and adolescents' perceptions of the intervention, 3) identify barriers and facilitators to implementation, and 4) ascertain treatment outcomes at 12 months' post-HIV diagnosis. We drew upon: 1) semi-structured interviews ( Forty-one children received at least a part of the intervention. Of those whose viral load was tested, 26 ( This intervention was helpful in supporting HIV treatment adherence among adolescents and children. Facilitators and barriers may be useful in developing future interventions. Les enfants et les adolescents séropositifs rencontrent des difficultés dans l’initiation et l’adhésion à la thérapie antirétrovirale (TAR). Des agents de santé communautaires (CHW) ont mis en place une intervention de soutien communautaire sous forme de visites structurées à domicile visant à améliorer l’initiation, l’adhésion et le traitement, auprès d’enfants et d’adolescents nouvellement diagnostiqués séropositifs. 1) Décrire la mise en œuvre de l’intervention, 2) explorer les perceptions de l’intervention par les CHW, les soignants et les adolescents, 3) identifier les obstacles et les facilitateurs de la mise en œuvre, et 4) vérifier les résultats du traitement 12 mois après le diagnostic du VIH. Nous nous sommes appuyés sur 1) des entretiens semi-structurés ( Quarante et un enfants ont reçu au moins une partie de l’intervention. Parmi ceux dont la charge virale a été testée, 26 ( Cette intervention a été utile pour soutenir l’adhésion au traitement du VIH chez les adolescents et les enfants. Les facilitateurs et les obstacles peuvent être utiles pour développer de futures interventions.
