Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) viral suppression rates are disproportionately worse in youth compared to other age groups, and improving this will require addressing the whole HIV cascade, including HIV testing, linkage to care and support to maintain viral suppression. We conducted a cluster-randomized trial of community-based services incorporating HIV testing, treatment and adherence support integrated with sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services for youth (16-24 years) in Zimbabwe.

Background: The Joint United Nations Programme on HIV/AIDS (UNAIDS) set targets for 95% of people living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection to know their status, 95% to receive antiretroviral therapy (ART) and 95% to achieve viral suppression. These targets mirror the 90-90-90 targets that were aimed to be met by 2020 to end AIDS as a public health threat by 2030.
Aim: The study aims to synthesise evidence on recommendations, best practices and challenges in achieving 90-90-90 escalated to 95-95-95 fast-track targets in sub-Saharan Africa.
